SimpliSafe Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024 Deals

SimpliSafe is without a doubt one of the top home security systems today. Its easy DIY installation is a favorite feature among renters and homeowners alike, and its affordable but reliable 24/7 alarm monitoring stands out in the alarm industry. But maybe you didn’t know this: Throughout the year SimpliSafe offers special deals that make its security systems even more worthwhile.

Two of those “special deals” days are Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and the good news? They’re here. Let’s talk about how you can save on SimpliSafe security systems on these shopping holidays.

SimpliSafe Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale 2023

SimpliSafe makes some of the most affordable security systems around, with packages starting at just around $250. Compare that to other companies, like ADT for example, and you’ll see that SimpliSafe equipment costs almost half the industry standard.

Surprisingly, though, SimpliSafe doesn’t shy away from offering discounts that cut its prices by more than half. Case in point: SimpliSafe’s Black Friday 2023 offer is 60-percent off pre-built and custom packages. On top of that, it’s including a $169 outdoor camera for free in all security systems purchased throughout this sale.

The only condition is that buyers sign up for a professional monitoring plan called Fast Protect, which costs $29.99 per month. However, the first month is a free trial, and since there are no contracts, you can cancel anytime. You can even cancel before they get charged for the second month and the 60-percent discount and outdoor camera are yours to keep.

Of course, we recommend keeping the subscription to reap SimpliSafe’s full security benefits like video verification, cloud video storage, and professional monitoring. But if you plan to self-monitor SimpliSafe, there’s absolutely no problem as SimpliSafe is one of the best self-monitored security systems out there.

With those discounts, here’s how much SimpliSafe packages cost right now. Keep in mind that you can also build your own package starting with a base station and keypad. Any piece of equipment you add to that package will enjoy the same discounts.

We monitor SimpliSafe deals year-round, and we can say that SimpliSafe prices don’t always drop that low. This year, the highest we’ve seen so far was 50-percent off during the Back-to-School sale in August.

Interestingly, the 60-percent discount applies to the $139.99 Smart Alarm indoor camera, released this year. With the discount, it now costs only $56. It’s interesting because the camera works great with SimpliSafe’s Fast Protect plan, so it will bring a lot of value to the table. During emergencies, monitoring center agents can drop in via the camera’s two-way talk to scare away intruders. We didn’t have that feature when we reviewed the SimpliCam, Smart Alarm’s predecessor.

We also recommend taking advantage of the upcoming sale to buy as many pieces of equipment as you need, particularly the more expensive ones like the $169 SimpliSafe Outdoor Camera we reviewed (if you’re not satisfied with the one included) and the similarly-priced SimpliSafe video doorbell.

Aside from their lower prices this season, the free trial of the Fast Protect plan gives you the perfect opportunity to test out SimpliSafe’s video verification feature and cloud storage.

For your reference, let’s quickly discuss SimpliSafe’s packages and pricing. In total, there are seven pre-configured kits to choose from, from the apartment-friendly Foundation kit to the 14-piece Haven system.

SimpliSafe Packages

Of course, to get the most bang for your buck, you need to choose a package that’s just right for your security needs. SimpliSafe’s most popular packages are The Foundation, The Essentials, The Hearth, The Knox, The Lighthouse, The Haven, and The Beacon. You can also create a customized system if you prefer, which may make sense if you live in an apartment or smaller home. However, given the number of packages available, one of the options below should work for you.

Add-On Equipment

If customization is more your thing, or if you want to add devices onto an existing SimpliSafe system, here are the prices for add-on equipment. And to see how we set up our SimpliSafe security system, read our SimpliSafe review.

Professional Monitoring and Storage

Equipment isn’t the only cost in SimpliSafe’s pricing. There are additional monthly plans for cloud video storage, 24/7 professional monitoring, or both. These add-on plans are optional, though, and you can still use your SimpliSafe security system without monthly fees.

SimpliSafe Background Information

We’re talking about home security, so it’s natural that you want a company you can trust. While it doesn’t have the brand recognition of older companies like ADT, SimpliSafe is rising up the ranks of the smart home security ladder. And given its easy DIY installation, customizable systems, and affordable professional monitoring, we can understand why, but let’s zoom out a bit.

Founded in 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts by Harvard Business School grads, the company was one of the first of its kind to include DIY installation and monthly contracting.1 By 2015, it had 300,000 customers, and in June 2020, it was bought by Hellman & Friedman, a private equity firm, for a cool one billion dollars.2 While the company has faced criticism for the vulnerability of its systems as well as its discounts for members of the National Rifle Association, it continued to rise in popularity, rising to 800 employees by 2020 with a second call center based out of Richmond, Virginia.3 Today, SimpliSafe works with Nest thermostats, August Smart Locks, Alexa, and Google Assistant, fitting right into different smart home ecosystems.

Summary

Buying a security system, especially from a reputable brand like SimpliSafe, is always a good investment. But it’s an even better investment if you can get it for less than half the price. With prices marked down by up to 60-percent, and with a free outdoor camera, there’s no better time than Black Friday 2023 to buy a SimpliSafe package. It’s one of the best home security systems around right now, so even though it seems so cheap, you’ll get high quality security from SimpliSafe equipment.
