Roku itself does not charge a monthly fee for using its devices or platform. After purchasing a Roku device, which can range from about $20 to $100+ depending on the model, there are no additional monthly fees from Roku for accessing free channels and content

. However, the overall monthly cost depends on the streaming services or channel subscriptions you choose to pay for. Many Roku channels are free, but popular subscription services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, or Sling TV require monthly payments, typically starting around $4.99 to $30 or more per month depending on the service

. For example, Hulu starts at about $5.99/month, and Sling TV or FuboTV can be around $30/month

. In summary:

• Roku device cost: one-time purchase from about $20 (Roku Express) up to $100+ (Roku Ultra)

• Roku platform: no monthly fee.
• Content subscriptions: optional and vary widely, from free channels to paid services costing $5 to $30+ per month

So, your monthly Roku-related cost depends entirely on what streaming subscriptions you choose to maintain. If you only use free channels, you pay nothing monthly beyond the initial device purchase
