No, Minut and Notion don’t require contracts. You can self-monitor both systems for free for as long as you like. However, there’s a month-to-month contract if you upgrade to Notion’s $15 a month NotionPRO professional monitoring. The same is true if you upgrade to the $7.99 a month Minut Standard self-monitoring plan, which supports multiple users, multiple homes, and unlimited sensor history, but no professional monitoring. With a month-to-month contract, you can still cancel their services without paying penalties, but the subscriptions auto-renew every month unless you cancel.
