Our verdict
Where it wins
- Street price around 40 dollars makes it one of the cheapest 4K options
- Powers from the TV's USB port, so there is usually no cord to the wall
- Simple, app-neutral interface with a voice remote that also controls TV power and volume
Where it loses
- No Dolby Vision, which Roku reserves for the pricier Streaming Stick 4K
- Wi-Fi only, no Ethernet option for wired networks
- The stick itself does not include any content, streaming subscriptions like Netflix or HBO Max cost extra
This is the sensible default 4K stick if you want the big apps on a TV for as little money as possible. Roku's 2025 refresh keeps the price low by skipping Dolby Vision and wired networking, so home theater setups with a Dolby Vision TV should look at the Streaming Stick 4K or Apple TV 4K instead. For a bedroom or travel TV it is hard to beat at around 40 dollars.

Common questions
Does it support Dolby Vision?
No. The Streaming Stick Plus tops out at 4K with HDR10+. Roku's own Streaming Stick 4K and Ultra are the models with Dolby Vision.
Do I need a wall outlet for it?
Usually not. It is designed to draw power from the TV's own USB port, so on most TVs it runs with no visible cords.
Are there monthly fees?
There is no fee for the Roku platform itself, and it includes free ad-supported channels. Paid services like Netflix, Disney+ and HBO Max require their own subscriptions.
