SimpliSafe monitoring costs $17.99-27.99/month ($215.88-335.88/year). The good news: SimpliSafe has no contract, so canceling is straightforward. The even better news: your SimpliSafe hardware still works as a local alarm without the monitoring plan — it just won't call the police for you.
Unlike ADT and Vivint, SimpliSafe has zero contract obligations. No early termination fees, no buyout costs. You own the equipment outright. Cancel whenever you want and your hardware keeps working as a self-monitored system.
SimpliSafe requires a phone call to cancel — you can't cancel through the app or website. Call during business hours (Mon-Fri 9am-8pm ET, Sat 9am-8pm ET) for shorter wait times.

Without monitoring, your SimpliSafe system still sounds a 95dB alarm when triggered — loud enough to alert neighbors and scare off intruders. You just don't get police dispatch or app control.
SimpliSafe is one of the easiest security subscriptions to cancel — no contract, no fees, and your equipment keeps working. If you mainly want a deterrent (visible sensors + loud alarm), the free self-monitored mode is fine. Save $216-336/year and only resubscribe if you actually need police dispatch.
