SimpliSafe Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024 Deals

SimpliSafe has sort of become a crowd favorite for its easy DIY setup, affordable equipment, and top-notch monitoring that includes live guard monitoring of security cameras. And while SimpliSafe is considered one of the most affordable, good quality security systems, building a comprehensive SimpliSafe system requires a substantial investment. That’s why a lot of people look forward to when SimpliSafe offers special deals.

Two of those “special deals” days are Black Friday and Cyber Monday, set for November 29 and December 2 this year. While we wait for those days, let’s look back on SimpliSafe’s past Black Friday and Cyber Monday to prepare for what’s to come.

SimpliSafe Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale 2024

SimpliSafe is relatively affordable compared to many security systems of its caliber. For instance, you can get a basic security system for just around $250 – half of what ADT and Vivint charge for a system with similar components.

Surprisingly though, SimpliSafe prices can go even lower. For instance, it’s offering discounts up to 60-percent right now as a part of its pre-Black Friday sale. It’s also including freebies ranging from a $199 outdoor camera to a $100 Visa gift card.

The only condition is that shoppers sign up for a professional monitoring plan, called Core (formerly Fast Protect). That one costs $31.99 per month, but it’s still a good deal considering that:

• There are no contracts, so you can cancel anytime – even after just one month. (SimpliSafe will work as a self-monitored security system without a monitoring plan.)
• The first 30 days are free.
• A trained monitoring agent will access your indoor wireless camera live feed to verify alerts and deter criminals via two-way audio.

With the 60-percent off deal, here’s how much SimpliSafe’s packages cost right now:

We monitor SimpliSafe deals year-round, and we can say that SimpliSafe prices don’t always drop that low. For instance, last Prime Day they were only discounted by 50 percent. Moreover, SimpliSafe’s Black Friday sale almost always includes all equipment, even the more expensive ones like the $99 SimpliCam indoor camera, the $149 Smart Alarm wireless indoor camera (that’s the one that supports live guard monitoring), and the $199 wireless outdoor camera.

Aside from the lower equipment prices, the Fast Protect free trial also provided Black Friday shoppers a glimpse of how well SimpliSafe can protect homes. Needless to say, we’re excited to see what SimpliSafe has in store for this year’s actual Black Friday sale.

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 Starter, 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. They even have two premium plans with extra monitoring capabilities. 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 with 800 employees by 2020 and 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 regular price. That’s the case right now with SimpliSafe’s early Black Friday offer. It’s one of the best home security systems around, so even though it seems cheap, you’ll get high quality security from SimpliSafe.
