Arlo home security alternatives

A few notable players in the home security game, such as Ring, SimpliSafe, Frontpoint, and Vivint, rival Arlo's offerings. A comparative analysis of each competitor reveals the similarities and differences between them.

Arlo vs. Ring: Both Arlo and Ring offer cost-effective home security solutions. They don't require fees for installation or activation, though Ring’s premium monitoring is a bit less than Arlo’s.

Arlo vs. SimpliSafe: SimpliSafe is a well-known DIY home security company, and offers a far more traditional look and feel than Arlo’s minimalist design. But SimpliSafe’s premium monitoring plan is a bit higher than Arlo’s, and its devices will stand out more in your home.

Arlo vs. Frontpoint: Arlo and Frontpoint are both DIY systems that you can customize easily. But Arlo sets itself apart by providing free access to self-monitoring features like mobile alerts and live camera feeds. Frontpoint, on the other hand, doesn't offer self-monitoring at all. Users must commit to a monthly professional monitoring service at $49.99 per month, making Frontpoint much more expensive.
