An independent US publisher
Starlink vs Leo is a small, independent website published in the United States. It has no affiliation with SpaceX, Starlink, Amazon or Amazon Leo, none of them reviews or approves what it says, and it signs its pages with its own name rather than a person's. It sells nothing and takes no orders.
Why a side-by-side comparison
Amazon is building a satellite internet network, Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper). Starlink is the low-orbit service US households can order today. A home with poor internet faces a real choice between the two: sign up now, or hold out for Leo. Starlink vs Leo weighs both on the same yardstick, with facts that carry a source and a date, and says plainly when waiting, or neither, is the better call.
What's on the site
- The comparison: what each network offers a US home today, row by row, with the date each fact was checked.
- The buy-or-wait tool: a few questions, answered in your browser, with every possible result shown and explained.
- Amazon Leo explained: its status, price, launch timing, terminals and Alaska coverage, each labeled confirmed, announced, planned, reported, unconfirmed or not announced.
- The tracker and news: a dated log of launches, FCC decisions and service milestones, and short posts when something changes for households.
- The glossary: the satellite words we use, in plain English.
How facts are checked and dated
Everything here is research from published sources: Amazon's and Starlink's own pages, FCC filings, launch companies' announcements and, where nothing better exists, labeled press reports and satellite trackers. Nobody can test Amazon Leo at home yet, because it isn't on sale, so the site makes no first-hand claims. Each fact is stored with its source and the day that source was read; a fact older than 30 days makes the site's own tests fail until it is read again. The editorial policy covers the labels, the order of sources and how AI assistance is used.
Lines we don't cross
- No orders, payments or accounts: Starlink and Amazon handle those on their own sites.
- No personal details: the tool and the search run in your browser and never request a street address, ZIP, email or phone number, and we never sign anyone up for Amazon's "Join the list".
- No guessed Amazon Leo prices or dates. What Amazon hasn't published reads "not announced".
- No invented reviews, quotes, testimonials, reader stories or people.
- No company logos, product renders, press photos or ads.
How the site earns
One way only: the site owner's Starlink referral link. When a new US customer orders through it and the order qualifies, Starlink pays the owner a reward. The link appears with a disclosure beside every button, never in news, the tracker or the pages about Amazon Leo, and never on this page or the legal pages. Amazon pays the site nothing. The money page sets out every rule.
Corrections
There is no contact form and no published email address. Errors are caught by re-reading sources on schedule; each fix is dated and listed, with what the page said before, in the corrections log.
How these facts were checked
This page describes the site itself and states no Starlink or Amazon Leo facts. The freshness rule it mentions is the one the site's own tests enforce.
