How We Stack Up

We compared ourselves to the competition.

Most personal safety check-in services charge monthly, require a phone app, and skip the GPS. We don't. Here's an honest look at how the options stack up.

Where we win, and why it matters

💸

$20 a year. Not a month.

The next cheapest option — Kitestring — is $36/year with no GPS. Snug Safety's paid tier is $200/year. We're a fraction of the cost, with more features.

📍

GPS captured on every check-in.

When you check in, we record your location. If you ever go missing, your contacts receive an alert email with your last GPS coordinates and a full check-in history. Kitestring and Snug don't do this.

🌐

No app. Just a browser.

Snug and bSafe both require a smartphone app. We work in any browser on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. Nothing to install, update, or accidentally delete.

Try it free. No credit card needed.

15 days free, then $20/year if you decide to continue. No automatic charges. You decide if and when to pay.
