Frontpoint has three packages to choose from, ranging from about $130 to $600. You can also choose to build your own package to get exactly the equipment you need. 

If you can’t pay for your equipment up front, you can always go with financing. This will lock you into a long-term contract and add $10 per month to your monthly fees.

The Starter Pack is for smaller homes. It includes a Frontpoint hub, one window and door sensor, and one motion sensor.

The Home Shield includes everything in The Starter Pack and gives you two more window and door sensors. And it adds a smoke and heat sensor, an indoor security camera, and a water leak sensor.

The Family Lookout is intended for larger homes. It gives you three door and window sensors as well as a key fob for easy arming and disarming. It also includes an indoor camera and your choice of either a video doorbell or an outdoor camera.

If you opt to build your own package or add equipment to one of the three pre-selected packages, most gadgets are under $50. Frontpoint’s security cameras are the most expensive device you’ll pay for, at around $70 to $170.

Frontpoint has multiple payment options, but you have to order your system over the phone to access the no-contract or 2-year plans. If you're okay with a 3-year contract, you can order online.

Frontpoint's plans vary not only in length and monthly cost, but also in terms of payment methods (debit, credit, or ACH) and product discounts. Even though this plan information isn't on the Frontpoint website yet, you can trust it since it cam came to us directly from the company.

You get professional monitoring, the ability to control your system from anywhere in your house using the Frontpoint app, and Frontpoint ID Protect to protect your important data from identity theft.

With each plan, you get professional monitoring, video streaming, and smart home controls to integrate your system with your home automations. Frontpoint's plans are on the pricier side, but you get the added benefit of identity protection, which no other home security system offers.

(ADT does sell identity theft protection as a separate service, but it's a free perk with Frontpoint. Learn more about Frontpoint vs. ADT.)

Note that if you choose to pay through a credit or debit card, there's an extra $3 transaction charge each month.

Everyone hates hassles and extra fees. Luckily, Frontpoint is very customer-friendly with plan cancellation and warranties.

If you decide Frontpoint isn’t right for you, no problem. You can cancel Frontpoint's professional monitoring plans at any time without any cancellation fees. If you have a contract, you may need to pay off your equipment before you can cancel.

All of Frontpoint’s equipment comes with a three-year warranty. If something breaks, customer service will send someone to fix it. If the device is beyond repair, you’ll get a replacement for free.
