I don't know the usual rates. but I also bought the equipment upfront
and I'm paying $20 a month. From what I understand, that's a little
less than the usual monthly rate in my area. but as always YMMV.

Not for all of them. I went with a local installer, and my monthly
monitoring is $15/month. I bought the equipment upfront, but I believe I
will break-even after a few years with what I hope are lower monitoring
costs. How much is monitoring usually?
