Any recommendations between SimpliSafe and Ring? Any real world experience from someone that has had both and care to share pros and cons/likes dislikes?
If you want to add more security items to your initial purchase, Ring is better. For instance, Simplisafe Camera doorbell is more expensive compared to Ring.
To start off with something, Simplisafe is at better price.

Doubling up on the OP's deal will get me the second keypad (assuming you can add a second keypad to one base) and the extra sensors I need (would still need to get a couple more). If I can sell the cameras that would be a plus.

No u cannot. Basically useless without the subscription. U MAY be able to get notifications if motion is detected on a cam and the keypad arming/disarming + alarm will work (no notification only audible alarm if a sensor gets tripped).
I would stay away. I regret buying this bc u legit need a subscription

The sensors and siren alone might just be worth the money to me... I have Tapo camera that will give me notification from sound detection. Would motion detector trigger siren also work without subscription?

The other pros and cons depend on what other devices and/or cameras you want and what type of monitoring you're interested in. Like I said, ask away.

To my knowledge you cannot enable motion detection alarm without a subscription (not sure if cams have that ability) but the notification for motion will work. This is what i use mine for. **APP WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL, aside from sending a notification that you previously set up when subscription is active. App will completely block u out without subscription its lame af
But siren for open/close sensor will continue to work if you've set up during subscription? Just not motion detection?
The main differences between a free and paid subscription account is that with a paid account, you can record and access recordings to your cameras (if any) while away from home, receive more detailed notifications through the app (such as when a door was opened or sensor was engaged), and be able to use Alexa and other integrations to arm and disarm the system.

So the app is still functional as you described? Another commenter said it's unusable without a subscription🤔
Sorry if I added confusion. I am less than happy with the way SimpliSafe keeps increasing the price and removing features. If you don't need monitoring and really want to avoid a monthly cost, I would look at abode or maybe arlo if you just need entry sensors.

Yeah I don't want to be subject to increasing subscription fee either so I ditched ring and went with Tapo. I think I'll get this kit to have the sensor/siren fx. Thanks for answering.
