Note: SimpliSafe now offers self-monitoring, although you’ll only get notifications with the Interactive Plan. They also added a Google Assistant integration, and cloud storage is available separately from monitoring. They’ve also added a professional installation option for $79.
As far as security systems go, #ADT and #SimpliSafe are at opposite ends of the spectrum. While ADT is the oldest security company in the United States with over 140 years in business, SimpliSafe was founded in 2006 and has continued to disrupt the industry since.

One major difference between the two is monitoring. While #ADT requires that you sign up for 24/7 professional monitoring with a three-year contract, #SimpliSafe gives you the option to self-monitor, with no long-term contract. However, SimpliSafe’s self-monitoring option basically turns your system into local alarms, not allowing you to livestream footage or receive notifications through the SimpliSafe app, so I recommend doing 24/7 professional monitoring anyway.
