Just bought a new home and it comes with some free home automation through Alarm.com for 3 years

For free I get the following: -Qolsys IQ Smart Panel -2x Honeywell Zwave thermostats -1x Skybell video doorbell -1x kwikset zwave smart lock -1x zwave lightswitch

What I can't decide is do I want to have my security system set up through this same panel and Alarm.com (to have security and home automation) or go with something cheaper like SimpliSafe?

The issue is, 3 years down the road, after my "free" home automation is up, I loose the main thing I like...remote automation (alexa) of devices through the smart panel of my zwave devices.

So, what are options to remotely (via alexa) control zwave devices like my switch, lock, and thermostats? Are there any smart panels like the Qolsys that I can use as well without having to pay a subscription?
