Bosch alarm for home use?

I’m thinking about switching our home alarm from Ring Alarm to using a more professional Bosch B9512G. I have a training kit with all the goodies, and work is letting me keep it, yay:

  • B942 keypad
  • B921 keypad

  • B208 input module
  • B308 output module
  • B901 door controller module
  • B444-V cellular communicator

I have several concerns:

-I can subscribe to Bosch Remote Security Control app though work, (as well as register the panel for cloud connect and register the cell card). If I leave my employer, is there any way I can continue my subscription as an individual, or would I need to buy the services through another alarm company?

-What monitoring services do you like for Bosch? I can subscribe through work, but wanted to see if anyone had suggestions. Also, the option to add fire for monitored smoke alarms would be nice.
