Prices with a verdict first, those at their recorded low leading; newest after that. Want them ordered by what sells instead? Most bought tablets.

Most bought: Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet $72.99, Apple iPad 11-inch: A16 chip $399.99 and Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids tablet $94.99. Cheapest today: IWEGGO Android 14 Tablet with Case $38.99.

Tablet prices split by who makes them. Amazon discounts its own Fire tablets hardest during its two big events, Prime Day in July and Black Friday, and holds them close to list price in between. Apple leaves iPad pricing to retailers, who cut the base models in small steps and go deepest after a new generation is announced. Storage size and Wi-Fi versus cellular are separate listings with separate prices, so every card here is one exact configuration. Kindle e-readers are filed here too and follow the Fire calendar, and a Kindle with lock-screen ads and the same Kindle without them are separate listings about $20 apart.

How much is a tablet?

Who makes it decides most of the price. An Amazon Fire, a Samsung Galaxy Tab and an iPad sit at three different levels, so one average across them describes none of them. The brand, size and storage tables on this page are today’s Amazon prices for every new tablet we track.

Start with the brand, not the spec sheet

The brand table above is the answer most people need. Amazon prices its Fire tablets low and earns on what is bought through them — Jeff Bezos said in 2012 that Amazon sells its devices at about break-even. Apple prices the iPad as a premium product. Samsung sells across the whole range under one name, which is why its middle price says less than its spread.

With Samsung the letter is the price: a Galaxy Tab A is the budget line and a Galaxy Tab S the premium one, and at the same screen size the two can sit hundreds of dollars apart. Check which series a listing is before comparing its price with anything.

Amazon files e-readers such as the Kindle and Kobo under tablets, and the figures on this page leave them out: an e-reader does one thing, reading, and is priced as a different purchase. For reading alone it is the cheaper tool, and the Kindle and Kobo pages price every model we track.

Storage is where the same model gets dearer

Most tablets are sold in several storage sizes, and the step up is often a large share of the base price. Whether it is worth paying turns on one thing the listing may not lead with: a card slot. Fire tablets and most Android tablets take a microSD card, so an inexpensive card does the job of the dearer configuration. An iPad has no card slot, so the storage you buy is the storage you keep.

Cellular models are separate listings at a higher price than the Wi-Fi version of the same tablet. Check which of the two a price belongs to before setting it against another.

Screen size

Tablets bunch around 10, 11 and 13 inches, and the size table below prices each class. Both it and the storage table mix brands, so part of any gap between two rows is which makers sell that size, not only the extra glass or memory. Where you can, compare two sizes of the same model: each product page here lists the model’s other sizes beside it.

Tablets by screen size

Size is read from the listing, rounded down to the whole inch. Same prices as the panel above: one per product, new condition.

What is the average tablet price?
$294.19 across the 103 tablets we can price today, against a middle price of $135.99. The average sits above the middle because a few of the dearest models pull it, so the middle price is the better guide to what a typical one costs. One price per product, the cheapest live offer, read in the last few hours.
Can you add storage to a tablet later?
On a Fire tablet or most Android tablets, yes: they take a microSD card. On an iPad, no — there is no card slot, so buy the storage you will need or plan on cloud storage.

A 15% band is real but not dramatic. Worth checking the history before buying; not worth holding out for months.
