Comparison methodology: Prices were checked October 6, 2026 from the providers’ public websites. Cost-over-time figures use the published upfront/equipment amount plus the published monthly rate multiplied by 12, 36 or 60 months. Medical Guardian is shown in the monthly-rate comparison but excluded from cumulative totals because its current device pricing and promotions vary. Taxes, shipping, fall-detection upgrades, accessories, annual-prepayment differences and future price changes are not included. This is an illustrative comparison, not a guarantee of future provider pricing.
