Differences that change the purchase

Mini or the Home Kit

The Home Kit has a full-size Gen 4 dish for a fixed install and a family online together. Mini is about 900 g, with Wi-Fi in the same body, and fits one or two people who move the kit.

Mini or Mini X

The dish is the same. Mini X adds a stronger Wi-Fi 6 router and costs $50 more: $299 versus $249. That gap is wireless coverage, not a larger dish.

Mini or the Travel Kit

The Travel Kit is Mini hardware with a pipe adapter and a temporary-mount layout. Both cost $249. Choose Travel for road trips and a villa; Mini is enough for an apartment and daily use.

Subscription

None of the four needs a monthly plan for use in Iran. The $90–$180 plans apply only when the kit is used outside Iran.
