Looking to setup monitored alarm system: ADT vs Simplisafe

Looking to setup a professionally monitored alarm system in a new house. We have google next cameras/doorbell/smoke detectors already so the main need is the monitored alarm system with the window sensors, glass break sensors, etc.

Right now the main frontrunners are ADT and Simplisafe, but open to other options if there’s something better. We met with an ADT rep for a quote and it checks off all the boxes for what I’m looking for, but seems to be pricier than alternatives. Simplisafe seems like it’ll have essentially the same alarm type setup with sensors for lower equipment and almost $20 lower a month. The one plus would be our existing google nest cameras would integrate into ADT for the same amount we’d be paying for nest aware ($6/mo). Looking to see if anyone feels that ADT was worth the premium, whether it be from better service/equipment or better integration/mobile app or automation? Or will the cheaper option of Simplisafe get the same results?
