Security Subscription Exit Planner: Keep or Switch?

SHUK • A decision before you buy

Would leaving your security subscription actually save money?

Compare the money you would pay over the next 36 months: keep your existing equipment, or replace it with another setup. Equipment you already own and bills you have already paid are not new costs.

Your entries stay in this page. This planner does not send, save or track them. Prices are your estimates, not SHUK market quotes or a recommendation to switch.

This planner needs JavaScript to calculate. You can still use the security-camera comparison and add hardware, required hub or storage, installation, mandatory supplies and all subscription bills due over the next 36 months.

Start with a documented setup (optional)

Use one of four single-device shopping records from 6 September 2026 as a starting point. Review its exact model, delivery assumptions and missing costs before transferring any numbers. You can also enter your own quotes below.

The link carries only a public record ID. Your costs and ownership choices stay in this page; they are not put in the URL, saved or sent by this handoff. Historical source dates are not refreshed by opening the planner.

Automatic handoffs need JavaScript and remain disabled. Read the four evidence summaries below, then add only new spending: equipment + required hub/storage + installation + 36-month supplies + every subscription bill. Unknown amounts are not £0; no complete total is supplied here.

For more context, read the source-backed compatibility library. These are separate shopping scenarios, not interchangeable product recommendations.

1. Add your costs

Use pounds, including VAT and unavoidable delivery charges. Every cost needs a number: enter 0 only when you know it costs nothing. If a cost is unknown, get a quote before comparing. Use the same number of cameras and the same must-have features.

Free/core means the replacement needs no paid plan for your required features. It does not mean all features are included. Select paid/comparable to include a paid replacement plan.

Keep your existing setup

Only include new spending needed over the next 36 months. Leave out what you originally paid for your equipment.




For example, required batteries or replacement storage. Do not double-count items already included above.


Enter the bill for all devices in this setup. Enter 0 for no paid plan.

Enter 0 if the next bill is due now. Enter 6 if six whole months are already covered; the next bill is then counted in month 7. Use 36 if the full comparison period is covered. A part-month is not modelled.

Buy a replacement setup

Include everything needed for the same home. Add cancellation, removal and any unavoidable overlap with the old plan to installation and switching charges.




Include the required supplies not already counted in hardware or storage.


Enter 0 for free/core. A replacement plan starts in month 1. Free trials and promotional periods are not included.

For the clearest comparison, use the same billing basis where both brands offer it. An annual price is entered as the whole annual bill. All non-subscription costs are budgeted at the start; actual purchase dates can change the crossover month.

2. Your result and shopping checklist

Add the costs above to see what you would pay. You can view both totals before confirming whether the features match.

Next: check the camera comparison, doorbell comparison or compatibility and cost checker.
