It was 100 for the install then 60 bucks a month after that, can't remember the package but googling last night it seemed comparable to all the other major security guys.
Just curious what other people are paying a month.

We signed up with Vivint last month. We pay about what you mentioned per month though the fee changes depending on the equipment you have installed. We got the panel, keypad door lock, doorbell camera, indoor video camera, 7 door/window sensors, a smoke detector, and the CO2 detector.
So far, I've been satisfied with the system. The app is pretty solid and I like getting notifications when things are opened or if someone's at my door and I'm not home. I like the peace of mind you get from being able to check in on things when you're not home. A bit unsettling, though, to see all the people that ring your bell and then take a peak around the back of your house when no one answers. It also plays nice with our Nest so we can control that from the Vivint app too.
From what I read, the monthly fee can be on the high side and the length of the contract is also out there. However, the equipment is pretty solid and the technology not as flaky as some. Like I said, I've been satisfied and I think it's done the trick so far.
