There's definite levels of smart alarm. The one I got (Yale) was about £200, so not much different to a non-smart one, with no subscription.
Main selling point was it's all wireless. Also nice to be able to get a notification that you've left a door/window open when you go out and also the ability to remotely set and reset it.
We didn't bother with one in a flat but in a house, with a couple of floors, it seems a bit more useful.

This question isn't aimed at anyone in particular but why is everyone splashing all this cash on smart home security setups? Are you all living in super high crime areas or something?
I've never felt the need in Clapton, and now we've sold our flat I can say that it's gentrification has been somewhat overstated. But the odd crack head ringing our doorbell and asking for money and the mardy druggie house just down the road don't worry me enough to order a Simplisafe or whatever...
