Alarm Grid vs. ADT
Alarm Grid is a security company focused on giving consumers an incredible experience from research to purchase. Whether you’re just beginning the process of looking at a security system, or you have had a security system for some time, Alarm Grid will assist you in the transition. For those trying to decide between ADT and Alarm Grid, let us give you a rundown on what makes us so different!
Alarm Grid Doesn't Require Long-Term Contracts?
Alarm contracts are notoriously unfriendly to consumers. The way that the industry has always worked is that companies ask their customers to sign a contract for service. Oftentimes, the longer the contract, the cheaper the monitoring. The result of these long-term contracts is that, they can provide a poor incentive for alarm companies to be helpful to their customers. Many companies use clauses called "evergreen clauses." These clauses will auto renew if customers forget to cancel in time.
Alarm Grid is a no contract alarm company. Not having a contract ensures that we treat our customers the way that they deserve to be treated. Every single day we are forced to work hard to make sure that you are taken care of. We have to win your trust every month in order to continue serving you.
You Own Your Equipment
One of the ways in which companies will try to entice new customers to sign a contract is by offering a free system.
How could you possibly pass up a free system?
The problem is that free systems really aren’t free.
More often than not, the system that an end user receives is the bare minimum system. At the outset, a customer will have to shell out money for both an installer's time and more sensors. Often, the price of the system is wrapped up in the price of the monitoring. Simply put, you might be paying $40 or more every month for monitoring that you could get from Alarm Grid for much cheaper. And the best part of monitoring with a no-contract company like us, is that Alarm Grid does not perform a credit check.
Alarm Grid’s entire goal is to be transparent and honest at every turn. Our alarm monitoring prices are posted succinctly and clearly. If you want to pay a system off over time, you can definitely do that. Our partnership with Affirm allows users to finance their systems. As you are checking out, simply select the Affirm option. They will run a credit check for those applying to finance a system. The simple difference between us and other monitoring companies is that once you have completed paying off your system to Affirm, you will no longer pay the monthly fee. With other companies, since the price of your system is baked into the price of your monitoring, usually, they continually charging you the higher monitoring rate even after your system has been paid off.
An Installer for Every Problem
Nobody wants to let a stranger come into their home. Alarm Grid will never send someone to your house. These security systems are very simple to use and install. While their programming is a little bit frustrating, once it’s done it’s done. We will walk you through programming, walk you through the install, or if you’d rather, you can check out our FAQs, and subscribe to our YouTube channel if you just can’t stand the thought of talking to a person.
Our DIY approach isn’t simply to save you money. It’s also because these systems are easy to put in on your own.
They always have been. Especially because wireless security systems are so reliable now. Why pay an installer $50 to $100 to come out to your home and install a single sensor when you can peel off the sticky tape, install it, and program it into your panel without any help so long as you have about 3 minutes of free time?

While we always encourage central station service, some security system owners do not need or want a central station involved. Alarm Grid’s self monitoring plans are less expensive and allow access to the great features offered by Total Connect, Alarm.com, or Telguard without being connected to the central station. Additionally, aside from Self Bronze, all of Alarm Grid’s self monitoring plans allow remote access to the robust home automation options made available through a Z-Wave enabled security system. Whether you live in a region where central station service is not available or desired, self monitoring (offered world wide via internet communications) is a cost effective option for keeping you connected and up to date with your professional security system.
