SimpliSafe Deals, Coupons, and Discounts for 2024

SimpliSafe is – among many things – known for its affordable prices. Anytime a home security system costs less than $500, you’ve got our attention. So with SimpliSafe’s packages starting at around $250, there’s no wonder that it made our list of the most affordable home security systems.

That said, there’s no harm in wishing for even better prices than what SimpliSafe typically offers. We can all use saving a few bucks in this economy. That’s why we made this guide: If you’re shopping for a SimpliSafe system, read on to find out how and when to best shop to maximize your savings.

When Should I Look for a SimpliSafe Deal or Sale?

SimpliSafe has sales all year round, from Father’s Day to Memorial Day Weekend to Black Friday. Basically, if it’s a major sales time like the holidays or Cyber Monday, you can expect a generous sale from SimpliSafe.

For example, during Black Friday last year, SimpliSafe offered discounts as much as 60-percent on pre-set packages. All shoppers had to do was add a one-month free trial to the Core (formerly Fast Protect) monitoring plan at checkout. For reference, that was the best deal SimpliSafe offered all-year-round.

Of course, it’s not exactly Black Friday right now, but anytime you’re buying a SimpliSafe security system, make sure to drop by the SimpliSafe website first. Check the banner at the top of the homepage – you’ll most likely see a special deal up for grabs along with a freebie. Before heading out, though, see SimpliSafe’s pricing so you have a jumping off point to compare discounted prices with.

SimpliSafe Prime Day Deals

While the SimpliSafe website is usually the best place to look for discounts, there’s one exception: Prime Day. This Amazon sale, which typically takes place in July and/or October, offers massive discounts for Prime members. And if you’re looking to buy SimpliSafe systems, they’re also on Amazon.

We cover Prime Day every year, so if you happen to be shopping for a security system when the sale rolls in, be sure to check our SimpliSafe Prime Day deals page. We go over SimpliSafe’s latest Prime Day deals there which was the July Prime Day in 2024. For your reference, though, here’s how much discounts were up for grabs during the October Prime Day held in 2023, otherwise known as the Prime Big Deal Days:

We expect to see similar sales during the October Prime Day this year with roughly half-off all systems and components. That’s what we saw during the July Prime Day too.

Does SimpliSafe Offer A Free Trial?

Great news: SimpliSafe offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. Although it’s not technically a free trial as SimpliSafe charged our card when we first bought the equipment and monitoring plans, if we weren’t happy with our system in the first 60 days, we could have returned it for a full refund. This would even include postage, with SimpliSafe sending us a prepaid return label. Believe us, this isn’t typically the case for security systems, so we appreciate that buying SimpliSafe wasn’t a risk to us financially.

Additionally, SimpliSafe offers a free trial of its Core (formerly Fast Protect) monitoring plan if you purchase a system from its website. In fact, you’ll need to sign up for the free trial to take advantage of its website deals. The trial, which lasts for 30 days, auto-renews to a monthly plan, but you can cancel before the trial ends to avoid the recurring charges. And since SimpliSafe doesn’t have contracts, you can cancel anytime even if your plan converts to a recurring monthly subscription.

What Deals has SimpliSafe Offered in the Past?

Although SimpliSafe is known for its affordability, we’ve seen a number of discounts in the past, including:

$437.94 Off A Beacon System

Originally priced at around $730, SimpliSafe has offered huge cutbacks on their Beacon security system, which includes a base station, wireless keypad, keychain remote, 105-decibel siren, SimpliCam indoor camera, two motion sensors, and six entry sensors. Currently, you can get this kit for $583.90, but during last year’s Black Friday, it was only $283.96.

25% to 50% Off Any New SimpliSafe System Plus A Free Camera

This is the typical offer we see on holidays throughout the year. They happened not only around major holidays, but even around smaller holidays like Father’s Day. The biggest discounts, of course, were offered around major holidays like Halloween, New Year, and Independence Day.

Military Discounts

Both active duty and retired members of the military can get 50 percent off on any SimpliSafe system. This applies to first responders, teachers, and even professionals in the medical field.

Discount On Upgrades

If you’re one of the early-adopters of SimpliSafe, which means you have the legacy SimpliSafe system, you can get discounts if you upgrade to the latest generation of products. SimpliSafe 3 packages start at $200, but you’ll get a 50-percent discount by logging into your SimpliSafe account before buying your new system.

Homeowner’s Insurance Company Discounts

Get up to 20% on your homeowner’s insurance simply by showing them a certificate from SimpliSafe1. You’ll most likely need to be on a paid professional monitoring plan (like the $21.99 per month Standard plan or the $31.99 Core (formerly Fast Protect) plan) to get the discount.

Refurbished Systems

One way to save money is to buy a refurbished system as opposed to a brand new system. Of course, the company checks them all to make sure they work correctly, and they come with the same one-year warranty as the new systems; the only difference is they cost 20% to 30% less.

Does SimpliSafe Ever Offer Discount Codes or Coupons?

SimpliSafe routinely offers discount codes and coupons, especially if it’s on or near a holiday. To find out, we recommend going straight to their website; deals are typically located at the top of the page. However, note that many deals only apply to people buying new systems, so if you’re buying add-on equipment to an existing system, you may not be able to get a discount. However, first-time buyers should definitely take advantage of SimpliSafe’s sales.

SimpliSafe Product Warranty

More good news: SimpliSafe has a one-year warranty on all of its products2. That means that if we found any defects on our devices within one year of buying them, SimpliSafe would replace them for free. Fortunately for us, we didn’t have any issues, but it’s nice to know that SimpliSafe stands by its products and its customers alike.

SimpliSafe Contracts

One of our favorite things about SimpliSafe is the fact that they didn’t make us sign a long-term contract. Rather, all of their monitoring and storage plans were month-to-month, so when we were done testing out the system, we just canceled our subscription without incurring any harsh fees. Many companies like ADT encourage or require customers to sign long contracts, three years in ADT’s case. If the customer wants to cancel, they either have to pay for the rest of their subscription or have to pay a high cancellation fee, so we’re really glad that SimpliSafe makes their services so flexible.
