Frontpoint has two options for monthly monitoring and five prepackaged equipment plans.

Generally, the more equipment you purchase, the more robust your monitoring plan should be. So if you opt for the top equipment plan, the Safe Home Preferred package, it’s best to pair it with the Ultimate Plan for monitoring.

The good news is you don’t have to pay anything up front to get Frontpoint in your home. With $0 down, you can enroll in an Affirm consumer financing plan that allows you to pay for your Frontpoint equipment monthly over the course of 3, 6, or 12 months, though you have to get a credit check to qualify.

While the payment plans require small contracts, they don’t renew automatically, and you can pay them off early without penalty.

If you decide to take the plunge and pay for all your equipment in one go, you can enjoy the monitoring service contract free.
