What the plan builder does

🏠

Matches your home type

Apartment, townhome, detached house, or rental — your living situation changes which system makes sense.

💰

Fits your real budget

Equipment cost vs monthly fees. We show you the total 3-year cost, not just the monthly sticker price.

📱

Accounts for your ecosystem

Amazon household? Apple HomeKit? Google Home? Your smart home setup matters for which system works best.

📋

Gives you a clear plan

Not just a brand recommendation — a starting sensor list, placement notes, and which plan tier makes sense for your coverage needs.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plan builder really free?

Yes, completely free. No email required to start. You can choose to enter your email at the end to receive a copy of your plan, but it's optional.

How is my recommendation generated?

Your answers to 6 questions — home type, number of entry points, budget, tech comfort, smart home ecosystem, and monitoring priority — are matched against our scoring model for each of the 9 brands we review. Your top matches are ranked by fit, not by commission rate.

Do you sell my information?

No. We don't sell your data to security companies. If you provide an email, we use it to send your plan and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe any time.

What if I disagree with my recommendation?

Good — read the full review for that brand alongside the alternatives. The plan builder gives you a starting point, not a final verdict. Our full reviews and side-by-side comparisons go deeper.
