DEFENDR publishes a straightforward wholesale ladder so smaller dealers can see the entry point, estimate monthly monitoring cost, and understand how pricing improves as active account volume grows.
Enter an estimated number of active standard monitored accounts. This is a planning estimate, not a binding quote.
Estimated wholesale monitoring: $119.88/mo
Rates shown are starting wholesale prices for standard monitored alarm accounts. Specialty services, cellular/data plans, video verification, fire monitoring, PERS, or other pass-through services may carry separate pricing.
For new and small alarm dealers building an initial book of recurring monitoring customers.
For independent dealers and integrators with a growing recurring monitoring base.
For security companies that have moved beyond startup volume and want stronger wholesale economics.
For established dealers, multi-site operators, and property portfolios moving larger volumes of monitored accounts.
Grow the active book without graduating into a different platform.

DEFENDR may not be the cheapest wholesale monitoring provider at every volume. The program is designed to lower the barrier to entry: start with a small book, use dealer tools included with the monitoring relationship, avoid building an in-house monitoring center, and move into better unit economics as active account volume grows.
Our promise is not “cheapest.” It is a practical path into professional wholesale monitoring for independent operators.

Move your accounts ↗Standard wholesale pricing is based on active monitored account volume. The applicable per-account rate changes as the dealer moves through DEFENDR’s published volume tiers or receives an approved manual tier assignment.
DEFENDR does not position itself as the lowest-price provider at every volume. The program is designed to lower the barrier to entry with account-one access, included dealer tools, transparent tiers, and room to scale.
Not always. Fire, PERS, video, communications, cellular/data services and other specialty or pass-through services may have separate pricing depending on the account configuration.
