Ecobee plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Ecobee pricing tiers

Smart Thermostat Enhanced	$199.99/one-time	8	+$60/one-time, 7 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Smart Home

Too few smart home tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ecobee entry price against other Smart Home tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Ecobee (this page)	$139.99/one-time	-	-
Rachio Pro	$10/month	One-time controller purchase with optional cellular subscription	-	vs Ecobee

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Ecobee badges page.

Before you pay for Ecobee

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $139.99/one-time and $259.99/one-time, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Ecobee against the tools that do have one before committing.

Ecobee runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Ecobee Inc. of Toronto, Canada. The full record is on the Ecobee review, and the rest of the category is under best smart home tools.
