What Is the Total Cost of Vivint Over 36 and 60 Months?
A starter Vivint system costs $1099.63 over 36 months and $1699.39 over 60 months, while a full smart home with 2 cameras costs $3179.64 over 36 months and $4499.40 over 60 months, equipment included.
| System | Equipment | Monthly | 36-month total | 60-month total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter: hub, 3 sensors, 1 motion | $199.99 | $24.99 | $1099.63 | $1699.39 |
| Mid: starter + doorbell camera | $449.98 | $49.99 | $2249.62 | $3449.38 |
| Full smart home: 2 cameras, lock, thermostat | $1,200 | $54.99 | $3179.64 | $4499.40 |
The $1,200 full-system figure is the custom package Security.org tested in 2026. Your quote replaces these examples with your exact device list.
Monitoring is the larger share of the total in every row: over 60 months, monitoring exceeds equipment for all 3 systems. Fewer cameras cut the monthly plan tier as well as the equipment line.
Which Fees Change the Vivint Price?
4 fees change the Vivint price: a $199 installation fee on no-contract orders (installation is included with a service agreement), $5 per camera per month for cloud video, $149 plus $149 to move a system, and a $99 fee to transfer the agreement to another person.
Early cancellation after the 3-day rescission window requires paying the remaining balance of the agreement. The Vivint contract page explains the cancellation, moving, and transfer rules with the military waiver.
How Does Vivint Financing Change the Monthly Payment?
Vivint Flex Pay financing spreads equipment over 12 to 60 months at 0% APR, so a $449.98 mid system adds $7.50/mo to the monitoring bill over 60 months instead of a one-time payment.
The 4 published 0% APR terms depend on order size:
- 12 months at 0% for orders of $299 or more
- 18 months at 0% for orders of $599 or more
- 24 months at 0% for orders of $999 or more
- 36 months at 0% for orders of $1,499 or more
Financing requires a credit check; paying upfront does not. The Vivint financing page covers Flex Pay approval, the no-contract option, and what happens to financing if you cancel.
How Can You Lower the Vivint Price?
You can lower the Vivint price in 4 ways: buy only the sensors your doors and windows need, choose HomeProtect instead of HomeProtect Pro if you skip cameras, pay equipment upfront to take the no-contract monthly rate without financing, and apply a dealer promotion to the equipment total.
Dealer promotions require a minimum $599.99 equipment purchase with professional installation and a service agreement. The current Vivint deals page lists this month's offers with their exact terms.
How Does Vivint Pricing Compare With ADT and SimpliSafe?
Vivint monitoring ($24.99 to $44.99 per month) sits between SimpliSafe's DIY plans and ADT's professionally installed plans, and Vivint equipment costs more upfront than SimpliSafe because every Vivint camera is professionally installed and tied to the Smart Hub.
