Billing for Monitoring Service - Daily or Monthly?
Expert Tip
SimpliSafe packages its monitoring service in 30-day bundles, and it's not tied to a calendar month. When you buy 30 days of professional monitoring, you don't have to use them all at once. If you only want monitoring for a week of vacation, you can pause it when you get back and use the rest of your days whenever you need some extra security.

SS is designed for professional (ie, paid for) monitoring and as an income stream from the monitoring plans, which is why the cost of the system is relatively inexpensive. So of course they are going to require the top plan for the most functions. It's still a bargain.
You could call and ask, the odds you would get a correct answer is probably 50% or less, and the odds that the person who handles your "hold" does it correctly are lower yet. Best method may be to just try it. Buy a month, use it for a week, put it on hold for a week, then reactivate it and make sure you go 3 more weeks before they charge you again. At that point, you should still be in your 60 day return window (if you do send it back, make sure you get a tracking number and track it. They have been known to "lose" returned systems)
