Eight features. Every safety one is free.
SOS, SMS escalation, live location and zone alerts cost nothing on any tier. The paywall only adds more groups and more zones.
One-Tap SOS
Trigger an alert to your buddies with a single tap. Your live location goes with it.
Live Buddy Tracking
See where your group is on a real-time map. Reunite fast when the crowd swallows you.
Private by Default
Your location is shared with the people in your group. Not with advertisers. Not with data brokers.
Battery Saver Mode
Track all weekend without dying at 4pm. Tuned for long days.
Safe Zones
Draw a zone on the map for home, school, or the venue. Your group gets a push alert the moment someone enters or leaves.
SOS Text Escalation
SOS also sends a text with your location to emergency contacts, even the ones without the app installed.
Tracking Window
Set a start and end time for sharing. A reminder pings before it starts, and sharing stops on its own when the window closes.
Group Controls
Run up to 10 groups, pause any one of them, and invite people by phone number or a link.
No location history. Nothing stored, nothing sold.
Some location apps make money by selling where you go. BuddySOS doesn't. Your location is shared with the people in your group. Not with advertisers. Not with data brokers. Core features are free because safety shouldn't come with a subscription.
- Encrypted in transit and at rest
- Your data is never sold
- Free on iOS & Android
