What English means here
The table shows which companies publish an English website and app. Contracts, phone lines and the monitoring centre all run in Spanish. That is the part we take on for you: choosing, signing up, and dealing with the company afterwards.
Got a quote in front of you?
The table tells you how the companies differ. Your quote is where the details live. Six questions are worth asking before you sign anything.
Two things to check for your own home
A table can tell you how the companies differ. These two depend on your address and your quote, so they are worth doing yourself before you sign.
Whether they serve your address
Coverage changes street by street, and rural properties and the smaller islands are the usual gaps. Ask for written confirmation of three things separately: installation, maintenance, and any response service. They are not always the same area.
That the company is registered
Only a company registered with the Ministry of the Interior may install a system connected to a monitoring centre. The register is public and free. Search the full legal name from the table above rather than the brand.

Head of Operations at Settlewell
Linus moved from Sweden to Málaga in 2021 and set his own home up here, so most of this he has already done the hard way once. Before Settlewell he spent years at Workwide, the cross-border recruiter that has helped over 10,000 people into jobs abroad, latterly as its Head of Recruitment and Operations. He speaks Spanish, lives in Málaga with his partner, and spends his days on the phone to Spanish providers.

How we make money
We earn a commission if you set up an alarm through us. It does not change what is on this page. We cannot arrange every company we write about. The comparison is ordered alphabetically, not by what we earn. If a company we cannot arrange suits you better, we will say so. Company names and registrations come from the national register of security companies. Contract terms come from each company's own published material.
