Compared to other full-service security systems, however, SimpliSafe is about on par with competitors. The comparison stops there, as Nest doesn’t offer any additional sensors or accessories. So even with more components, SimpliSafe is less expensive. A SimpliSafe system with station and keypad (required), single camera, smoke and CO detectors, and smart lock comes to $434.
A Nest Cam, smoke alarm, and lock would cost $547. That said, all SimpliSafe systems start with the home station and keypad, which cost $184 together. Likewise, SimpliSafe smart locks start at $99 each, whereas the third-party Yale Lock for Nest costs $249. The Nest smoke alarm ($119), which detects both smoke and carbon monoxide (CO), is more expensive than the SimpliSafe smoke ($29.99) and carbon monoxide ($49.99) detectors combined.
