What do motorized blinds actually cost?
A straight comparison of public market data, live retail examples, and BLINDS100's published installed pricing. No tiny-font "starting at" trick.
Three comparisons put the market in perspective
These are not identical products or quotes. They show why size, motorization, and included service matter more than a headline price.
Retail headline prices can be incomplete
Many online listings begin with a small default size and basic configuration. Larger dimensions, motor and control upgrades, fabric choices, installation, and smart-home setup can raise the final total.

Angi's 2026 guide gives this broad installed range and identifies size, style, material, and motor type as major cost drivers.

Dual-Motor Roller remains motorized only. Manual pricing for Drapery Sheer, Vertical Shade and Deluxe Curtains is unchanged.See exactly how size changes price
Width costs more than height in our published schedule. Here are two examples using the $449 Signature light-filtering roller.

Four things move motorized-blind pricing
Major sellers and manufacturers consistently point to the same core variables.
Window size
More material, longer tubes, and larger hardware increase cost.
Style & fabric
Roller, zebra, honeycomb, Roman, Shangri-La, dual-motor, Drapery Sheer, Vertical Shade, opacity, and fabric selection all matter.
Motor & controls
Remote, app, voice, bridge, hub, and automation options can change the total. TDBU or Day & Night honeycomb systems and TDBU Roman systems add $100 because they use a second motor.
Included service
Measure, installation, programming, testing, and warranty are not bundled the same everywhere.
Pricing-factor methodology is consistent with official guidance from Hunter Douglas and the motorized-buying guidance on Blinds.com.

$5,000Standard motorized shades count as 1 qualifying credit; a motorized Drapery Sheer or Vertical Shade counts as 3 for the 5- and 8-credit percentage tiers. The $5,000 whole-home package can be 10 motorized shades; 7 motorized shades plus 1 motorized Drapery Sheer or Vertical Shade; or 4 motorized shades plus 2 motorized Drapery Sheers or Vertical Shades. Standard packaged shades include sizes up to 4 ft wide by 5 ft high. Most residential windows are less than 4 ft / 48 inches wide. Normal width- and height-increment differences are added above those package limits. Packaged Drapery Sheer or Vertical Shade openings include up to 6 ft wide by 7 ft high, with normal $150 width and $80 height increments above those limits. Smart Tuya Wi-Fi motors are hardwired only; battery motors are remote-controlled only, and neither option is Matter-compatible. The optional LED Light Cassette adds $100. Eligible products outside the $5,000 package continue at 20% off regular installed pricing, the highest percentage discount offered before the $5,000 package. Two-motor Honeycomb and Roman systems add $100; Dual-Motor Rollers add $200. One complimentary compatible Alexa hub is available with a qualifying package when needed; clients keeping a compatible existing hub receive connection help instead. One hub per qualifying package; no cash substitute. Packages do not combine.
