Because their monitoring does not require a contract, renters who think they may be moving or consumers on a budget who think that they will go some time without needing the monitoring service won’t be on the hook for the monthly subscription rate. While that “one-size-fits-all” price-point may be good for some consumers, others who are looking Consumers who are budget-conscious and wish to minimize their home security expenses will find Ackerman’s offerings very competitive.

Without any monitoring contracts, Ackerman’s customers are not tied down to monthly subscriptions and have the freedom to turn the service on or off at any time. While their website does a good job at mentioning all the types of products and services they offer, only the most general descriptions are available. Ackerman does not list specific costs for their hardware or whether their smart home offerings will add to the cost of the subscription to their monitoring.
