Just to clarify, because I think people might misunderstand - the "interactive" feature is not free - it requires the premium plan, which comes free *for three months*. But you *can* also use the system for free (without a plan at all): that will only give you push notifications on the app, and a siren from the homebase when break-ins are detected, and a 7 day timeline review. No text messages, no cloud storage, etc, and no to lots of other features.
If you want to go the no subscription route ( I did with Abode security system, which is similar to this). I recommend using a separate system for security cameras - there's little reason to have the security system and camera system linked. And there are great no-subscription camera option,s such as Reolink cameras and NVRs.
I do self monitoring through alerts. I had ring monitoring but had a false alarm from cat and police showed up. They start billing you in my area for false alarms (rightfully so). If anything is gonna spook a theif, it's the alarm, not police showing up 15 mins later.

This is an amazing deal. The included *3 months * of interactive monitoring is worth $99 by itself. I just need some new sensors, might just grab this. The camera and keypad are worth $99 alone also. Killer deal!
I've got the same package in the previous generation. Except for the camera which I'm not sure I'd even set up, any big improvements Gen 2 to Gen 3 that would justify an upgrade?
How much are their monthly plans? Can you use this without any plan?
Here's a good breakdown of all the monthly plans. We've been using the basic $18/month one and have been very satisfied. I'm excited to test the interactive version since it comes free with this one.

They vary in price for what you want. Yo can use the system without it but it's limited and not monitored.

What does interactive mean?
Read through the link I posted, it explains it more. Basically they check your cameras and confirm whether it's a "real" break in or not.
