There's Something Terribly Wrong
with the Home Security Industry
...and SimpliSafe is on a mission to fix it.
Our mission is to help you live safely without bringing any complexity, hassle, or annoyance into your life.
For 100 years the alarm security industry has been selling out-dated technology at highway-robbery prices. A common practice has been to scare customers into signing long-term contracts that are chock-a-block with fine print and provisos.
We believe being safe should be simple. So, we designed a security system that is ridiculously easy to self-install, easy to purchase direct from us online, and doesn't require a contract or a telephone line.
It's also wireless, cellular, and customizable...which means it works anywhere and will fit any house, apartment or business.
Q: How did we do it?
A: Here is our super secret formula:
wireless technology + user friendly product design + no contracts
= happy customers who pay less and get more
= happy customers who pay less and get more

SimpliSafe's features "at a glance"
All the wireless sensors you need. Sensors can be up to 400-500 feet from the base station.
See Details
Cellular allows the alarm to communicate more quickly with our monitoring center—and it means you don't need to have a phone line. We include it free of charge. (Most companies require you to buy additional equipment and charge up to $55 per month for cellular monitoring, whereas we just charge $15 per month (monitoring is optional, by the way). See Details
No contract. If you choose to use our monitoring service, you just pay as you go. Easily cancel anytime (just call us), with no termination fees or hassle. See Details
DIY installation. It's "plug & play": all your sensors arrive pre-programmed, batteries installed and adhesive strips ready-mounted, so set-up just takes minutes. No tools required—just peel and stick. See Details
Police dispatch, professional monitoring, and phone alerts... at an optional cost that's incredibly low.
See Details
See Details
Easy to expand and customize. Add more sensors any time—up to 26 components. See Details
Batteries provide protection for five years. You can easily get replacements from your local drugstore, or from us—and they take just seconds to replace. And it works in power outages, because it's not dependent on the power grid. See Details
Take it with you when you move. It's not just easy to install—it's easy to uninstall when you move.
See Details
As easy as using a car alarm. When you go out, press the "Away" button to activate all the sensors. When you come home, press the "Home" button to deactivate the motion sensors, but still protect all the doors and windows. See Details
Pet-friendly. Works great with pets of all sizes.
See Details

Fortune Magazine describes how we're revolutionizing the expensive alarm installation industry with our wireless security systems and contract-free alarm monitoring services.
| SimpliSafe has no commitments | Others have huge commitments | |
| Commitment | None | 36 months at $42.99/month |
| Total lock-in | $0 | $1,547 |
The New York Times described SimpliSafe alarms as
"All the bells and whistles for a lot less money"
SimpliSafe alarms have no hidden charges. Many alarm companies have absolutely huge sneaky hidden charges. They advertise their alarms as being "from $99"—then they get you to sign a contract for over a thousand dollars—and you can't leave them for at least three years.
We're so confident you'll love your SimpliSafe alarm, we'll let you try it RISK-FREE, with an incredible no-risk 60-day money back guarantee.
SimpliSafe are fantastic reliable alarms that are easy to use, with no contracts and no hidden costs.
9 things to avoid when choosing an alarm
We listened to all the things you dislike about traditional burglar alarm companies... then fixed them| Traditional Alarm Company | SimpliSafe - a better way |
| Old wired technology. Traditional alarm companies want to put wires in your walls, because they know that ripping their wires out is hard and expensive. | State-of-the-art 100% wireless technology. We took the latest in micro-chip technology and developed smarter software to offer you a robust and reliable security system. With wireless, there are no holes in your walls. |
$42.99 per month.
|
Just $14.99 per month. Note that this is the same level of security that the traditional companies provide. It's called "U.L. certified monitoring." |
| The moment you let them put a system into your home, you're typically locked into a $1,547 contract. | No contracts! Our customers stay with us because of our excellent product quality and helpful customer support. |
| Auto-renewal clauses that grab another $1,547 from you, if you don't cancel within 90 days of the end of your three-year term. If you forget to cancel, you're legally trapped—there's no way out. | No hidden charges, no commitment, and no sneaky tricks. |
| Many frustrated customers (just google "alarm system complaints" or "alarm contract complaints" and see for yourself). | Growing by word of mouth. (See our Facebook fan page.) |
| Uses a phone line to connect to the monitoring center. Burglars sometimes cut phone lines. | Uses its built-in and independent cellular connection, which is 5-10 seconds faster, and is uncuttable. No phone line required. |
| Prices are kept high because there are so many middlemen and salespeople involved. | We don't have expensive salespeople or middlemen. That's how we can afford to keep our prices so low. |
| Installation typically costs between $99 and $500. You'll need to take a day off of work, while the installer drills holes in your walls. |
Set-up is easier than you could ever imagine. No tools needed, just adhesive pads. The unit actually talks to you while you're setting it up.
One of our customers purchased a second system for his daughter's home and was "looking forward to the joy of installing it for her." Watch our easy installation video to see what he means.
Does easy set-up mean the system is flimsy or less secure?
No! Quite the opposite. No wires means there's nothing for burglars to cut. Read more.
If a sensor is removed or tampered with, the Base Station will notice that it's not responding and alert the monitoring center. In fact, here's a clever feature: recently, a burglar tried to disarm a SimpliSafe alarm by smashing the keypad with a baseball bat. The police were alerted immediately, via the Base Station, which stayed silent while it contacted the monitoring center. The burglar was apprehended a few minutes later. |
| As soon as you sign up, there's no going back: you cannot cancel even if you try. |

SimpliSafe is not for you if...
- If you have a huge home: If your home is larger than 20,000 square feet (about the size of a football field)—or if it has more than 50 windows on the first floor—you would probably benefit from a system that can handle a huge number of sensors. Our advice would be to go to one of the traditional contract security companies—and keep in mind the things we’ve warned you about.
- If you run a large commercial property—such as a shopping mall—you would probably benefit from a system that has CCTV or security guards, in which case you should probably go to one of the traditional contract security companies—and keep in mind the things we’ve warned you about.
