Which is better between wired and plug in Ring doorbell depends on installation and power preference, but both have advantages over battery alone. Wired Ring doorbell connects to existing low voltage doorbell wiring 16 to 24VAC from transformer, it can ring existing mechanical chime inside house, gets continuous trickle charge so battery rarely needs charging, and supports features like pre roll. Plug in Ring doorbell refers to Ring Video Doorbell Wired or Plug In model that plugs into indoor outlet via AC adapter and transformer, or battery model with plug in adapter, offering continuous power without needing existing doorbell wiring, good if you have no existing wiring but have nearby outlet. Wired to existing doorbell wiring is better if you already have wiring and want to keep internal chime and cleaner exterior with no power cord. Plug in is better if you have no doorbell wiring but want continuous power without battery charging hassles, though you need to run wire through wall or window. Both are better than battery only for reliability and continuous recording. For most homes with existing wiring, wired Ring Doorbell Pro is best, for homes without wiring, plug in adapter version offers similar reliability with easier installation than running new transformer wiring.
