Simply Safe outsources monitoring to a well-known and long established monitoring network that is every bit as good as ADT.

I started with ADT at 44.99 around 1.5 years back, and now my total bill is 60.99. I am repenting my mistake of signing a 3 year contract with ADT.

I am finally nearing my 3 year contract date with ADT, and already have on my calendar the reminder to cancel. I can see the savings with SimpliSafe. My total install package for ADT when they put it in 35 months ago was just a click over $1500, to get the same items with SimpliSafe is going to cost me about $850. Not to mention with the continued cost increases by ADT, and I am now pay $72 a month, the new monthly rate for SimpliSafe of $25 will be wonderful! I see absolutely no reason to stay with ADT, being the biggest doesn’t mean it is the best!! I even spoke with my insurance agent and asked about my discount for homeowners and she said we would be getting the same discount, and she has had several customers making the switch from ADT to Simplisafe!

I think you can put Simplisafe in the rental, just call Simplisafe and find out and if so, of course you will also need to check with your landlord to install it.

I see all these reviews are about 3 to 4 years old. Review Simplisafe now. I just put in Simplisafe with the ability to arm and disarm with our two cell phones. We get a text message when our system is turned off, put in home mode or away mode to verify. Look at what they have now. As far as cheap equipment, I don’t see it, Simplisafe is plastic and metal and so is ADT. Live camera feed to your phone and record from your phone. In the event our home is broken into and the system fails us, then we will know. Bottom line, both have pros and cons as with any company, pick what best suits you. So far I have not seen a company that did not get a bad review.

ADT can have upfront charges depending on the type of security system you get. No matter what you should expect $99-199 for installation and more if you get an upper tier Pulse package.

ADT changed cell phone providers in the area where i have a cabin as a second home. For months ADT told me that I needed to be there to get the system checked all while charging the monthly fee. Several times while I was there and had appointments that ADT cancelled the appointment while the monthly fees continued. After nearly a year one technician let the cat out of the bag, that the cabin was in a dead spot for the new cell provider. ADT still required 30 day cancellation notice and then did not cancel until the second go. All in all ADT charged more than $400 when they knew that they could not provide any service. If this kind of service is acceptable, ADT is your company.

when you compare ADT to simplisafe it’s like comparing a Saturn to a BMW. If you want to make a true long lasting investment with a legit company that is going stand by you go with ADT. Simplisafe uses the oldest and cheapest equipment out there. Put it this way ADT has more employees monitoring your home then simplisafe has in there whole entire corporation, ADT has 6 monitoring centers how many does simplisafe have maybe 2.

In reply to William.

Hey William, ADT authorized dealers sell the contracts to ADT, so you are right both are ADT. Usually you can get a better deal through the dealers as they are more ‘eager’ for the sale and more competitive against other dealers. They have to follow strict guidelines for installation and customer service.
