Amazon introduces paid subscription for Alexa Guard security features
Amazon is introducing a paywall for certain features of its Alexa Guard security service, including smoke and CO alarm detection and glass-breaking sound detection. While some features will remain free, users will need to subscribe to the new Emergency Assist service to access these additional security functions. Ring Protect Pro members who linked their Ring and Alexa accounts before September 20 will receive an Alexa Emergency Assist membership at no extra cost until October 31 next year. The introductory price for Alexa Emergency Assist is $6 per month or $59 per year, but this offer is only valid until January 8.
