We’ll come right out and say it: if you want standalone home security, go with ADT. If you’re looking to get all your home services in one fell swoop, get Xfinity Home. If you’re just starting out with your first security system, you may want to check out our Best Home Security Providers post. † Smart home functions not supported by all monitoring plans. ‡ Mobile app control not available with all monitoring plans.

Well-known name Professional installation
Service bundles Some innovative equipment
ADT also lags behind when it comes to transparency. It doesn’t provide equipment price breakdowns on its website because the equipment prices are part of what you’ll pay for installation, so it’s hard to know what you’ll pay upfront. Also, Xfinity security monitoring prices are hard to pin down. In some areas, an Xfinity bundle is a huge money-saver. In others, it’s a bad deal. You won’t know for sure without entering your ZIP code on the Xfinity website.
Expensive professional monitoring No transparency in pricing and fees
Poorly rated customer service Location-dependent prices
