Upfront Costs

Because Frontpoint has high-tech, robust security packages, upfront costs are a little high. The upfront cost for a security system may reach as high as $479 if a customer chooses the most advanced plan.

Possible Long-Term Monitoring Contracts

Full-service monitoring subscriptions are either month-to-month or require a 36-month contract. The length of the contract depends on the type of system package purchased. 

Those who subscribe to the 36-month contract are subject to an early termination fee of 80 percent of the remaining monthly charges of the contract term. This is a hefty cancellation fee given the monthly monitoring price of $49.99 per month. Customers should check the subscription policy of their selected package before checking out. 

Frontpoint does not have any self-monitoring options, unlike other DIY installers. This equipment is useless without a subscription to the monitoring service. However, the benefits of the monitoring service may outweigh the higher cost.
