Cove has no long-term contracts - cancel anytime

Unlike ADT, Brinks, or Vivint which lock you into 2–5 year contracts, Cove is month-to-month. Cancel anytime without early termination fees. This is one of Cove's key differentiators from traditional security companies.

Your equipment stays functional but without monitoring

After canceling the monitoring plan, your Cove sensors, keypads, and siren hardware continue to work as a local alarm system - they will still sound if triggered. You just lose 24/7 professional monitoring, cellular backup, and the mobile app alerts.

What you lose when you cancel Cove monitoring

Cove vs SimpliSafe vs Ring Alarm

Cove ($17.99–$27.99/mo) and SimpliSafe ($19.99–$29.99/mo) are similar DIY no-contract security systems. Ring Alarm ($10/mo with Ring Protect Plus) is cheaper but requires an Amazon ecosystem. Cove is often cited for better customer service. If you're leaving due to price, Ring Alarm offers the lowest monthly monitoring cost.
