When seconds count and phones are ringing unanswered — does everyone know what to do?
Where to go? How to reach you? How to let you know they're safe?
"A man is following my daughter. Does she know exactly what to do — and does she have a way to tell me where she is without making a scene?"
"A tornado warning just hit. My kids are at school, my spouse is at work, I'm on the highway. How do we all let each other know we're safe?"
"My elderly parent lives alone. If they fall or feel unsafe, how do they reach me instantly — without scrolling through contacts?"
"My teenager is at a party. Something feels wrong. Can they send me their exact location silently — without it looking obvious?"
"We have a family emergency communication plan on paper. But when the moment comes, will everyone actually know what button to press?"
"My family tracking app shows me where everyone is. But if something goes wrong right now — where's the button to send help?"
If your family tracking app can't answer the question "Where are you — and are you OK?" in under three seconds,
it's not a safety app. It's a surveillance app.
These aren't hypotheticals. They happen to real families every day. One tap changes everything.
A tornado warning drops and your family is at school, work, and on the road. No one knows if everyone is safe or where to go.
She can't speak. She can't dial. She needs to get her location to you — right now — without making the situation worse.
One button on their phone. Before you even know what happened, you have their exact GPS location and a "NEED HELP" alert.
Teachers and staff can send coordinated alerts to parents — "WE ARE SAFE — IN LOCKDOWN" — with location, all at once.
Recovery doesn't stop at the clinic door. Active SOS lets clients send check-ins — or relapse alerts — directly to their care team.
You can't call 911 openly. You need to alert your office and send your location — silently, instantly, without escalating.
Family tracking apps know where you were 15 minutes ago. Active SOS tells your people where you are right now — and exactly what's happening.
Life360 has one SOS button — hidden three taps deep. In a real crisis, you don't have time to find it.
Background tracking depends on battery optimization. When your phone pings, your location might be stale by minutes or hours.
Life360 has been reported by multiple news outlets for selling member location data to advertisers and data brokers — while you thought you were just keeping family safe.
Knowing where someone is doesn't tell you if they're safe, scared, hurt, or need help. A dot has no message.
Circle sizes, seat caps, no B2B functionality. If you need safety tools beyond a household, tracking apps hit a wall fast.
Pre-set notifications with no ability to write your own alerts, configure your own groups, or set your own contact priorities.
Active SOS doesn't track you. It arms you.
Your location is only shared the moment you choose to send an alert.
No background tracking. No data profiles. We never sell your data. Ever.
Real app screens. Real alerts. Real location — within 5 feet.
Location only when you tap. Zero background tracking — your location is your business.
GPS within 5 feet. 17 decimal digits of precision captured at the exact moment of the alert.
Unlimited contacts. Everyone who matters gets alerted — simultaneously, no circle caps.
You write the alerts. "I'M SAFE," "SEND HELP," "RUNNING LATE" — fully custom, front and center.
We never sell your data. Not to advertisers. Not to data brokers. Not to anyone.
B2B & group-ready. Schools, businesses, sports teams, care organizations — built for it.
$90/year through affiliate pricing. Full access, half the cost of Life360.
Continuous background tracking. Knows where you are at all times, by design.
~50 feet accuracy. Background pings can be minutes or hours old depending on battery.
Circle-limited contacts. Plan-based limits on how many people can be in your group.
Pre-set notifications only. One buried SOS button. No custom alert messages.
Confirmed data sales. Investigated for selling member location data to advertisers.
Family-only design. Not built for teams, businesses, or organizations.
$99–$299/year. More expensive, with ongoing data monetization built into the model.
The question isn't which app tracks your family better.
The question is: when something actually happens — which app is built to respond?
Active SOS isn't just for families. It's a full group safety communication platform — the tool your family tracking app was never designed to be.
Coordinate lockdowns, drills, and emergencies across staff and parents. Mass alerts with location — in seconds, not minutes.
Field workers, remote staff, and solo workers can send location-stamped check-ins or safety alerts to supervisors instantly.
RPM integration, caregiver coordination, and post-discharge check-ins. Supports CPT billing codes for qualifying practices.
Relapse alerts, location check-ins, and direct coach communication — without privacy-invasive constant tracking.
Group enrollment with org-code onboarding. Wellness check-ins and crisis alerts built for the needs of veterans communities.
Showing homes alone or visiting unfamiliar locations? Silent one-tap alerts to your office with exact GPS — every time.
I'm all in on that — let everybody know you are safe.
Active SOS has been featured in real-world severe weather coverage — the kind of moment where one-tap communication isn't a feature, it's the whole point.
17 decimal digits of precision captured at the moment you tap. Life360 advertises within 50 feet. We deliver within 5.
Your location is private until you choose to share it. No passive collection. No data profiles. Your data is never sold.
Add everyone who should know — family, coworkers, coaches, caregivers. No circle caps, no extra cost per contact.
Write your own buttons. "I'm home safe." "Send help now." "Running late." Ordered the way you need them.
Works on both platforms. Your contacts don't need the same device as you — alerts are delivered regardless.
Alerts go out in seconds — not minutes. In an emergency, the delay between "I need help" and "help is coming" matters.
Half the cost of Life360. Referred by [AFFILIATE_NAME]. Org code pre-loaded.
