Soon rows (Solo-Travel taster and active-safety features) roll out with our release-23 active-safety update — they appear here so you can see where each plan is headed. Prices shown are annual unless noted; Protect Me and Protect Me On The Move also offer monthly billing ($3.99/mo and $5.99/mo, no free trial).
The price shown on this page is everything you pay. There are no activation fees, no cancellation fees, no equipment to buy or return, and no per-alert charges — SMS and escalation alerts on Protect Me and Protect Me On The Move are included in the subscription, so an emergency never shows up on a bill.
Billing is handled by Apple and Google through your app store account — we never store your card details — and you can cancel anytime in the store with no fee; your plan simply runs to the end of the period you've already paid for. Existing $19.99 Protect Me subscribers are grandfathered: your renewal stays $19.99/yr for as long as the subscription remains active, and the May 2026 update to $29.99 applies to new subscribers only.
Looking at alternatives?
Snug Dispatch is $199.99/yr (price verified October 2025). Protect Me On The Move is $39.99/yr and only captures location during an active alert — auto-purged after 72 hours.

“I've got a lot of peace of mind very easily from this app. It's really simple to set up and even simpler to use — daily reminders and a friendly green button! It doesn't even require an account or a password. The paid version (which I feel is actually really good value) sets up an escalation process including SMS to multiple contacts. I had a bug I needed fixing, and support responded in hours, having solved my problem. Which is probably the best feature of all!”

“Great app with very intuitive UI for my mom and dad. Single tap to know they are fine.”

Yes. Try It includes unlimited daily check-ins, push + email reminders, 1 emergency contact, and one miss-alert a month if you go quiet — free forever, no signup required. We create an anonymous account on first launch so your check-ins and contact persist across days; you can convert it to a real sign-in later if you want.
Yes — once a month. Try It alerts your one contact if you go silent, capped at one alert per month, so the contact is never fatigued. Want alerts every time, plus escalation and SMS? That's Protect Me ($29.99/yr). The daily 'all good' confirmation stays off on Try It.
Protect Me On The Move ($39.99/yr) includes a 7-day free trial — try it for a week. Cancel anytime in your app store account before day 7 and you pay nothing. Protect Me ($29.99/yr) is billed from day one and does not include a free trial, but you can cancel anytime. Switching during the trial may end the trial early per store behaviour.
Snug Dispatch is $199.99/yr (price verified October 2025). I'm Alive Protect Me On The Move is $39.99/yr — about 5× cheaper than Snug — and it only captures location during an active alert, auto-deleting location data after 72 hours.
The worry-window is the gap between when a missed check-in starts to feel concerning and when a human voice confirms the person is okay. Protect Me On The Move targets a 90-minute median worry-window using daily check-in nudges, enriched alerts to contacts, and — coming soon — an AI voice safety check that reaches out to the missed user.
Protect Me On The Move is the on-the-move tier (still 1 protected person): everything in Protect Me plus the active-safety rollout arriving through 2026: voice alerts, live location, Follow Me tracking, arrival/geofence monitoring, an AI voice safety check, and enhanced solo-travel. It's built for solo travelers, hikers, and women traveling alone — not a family plan.
Stay Connected & Travel Safely (Lifetime) is a one-time feature upgrade: custom check-in times, check-in notes, manual alert test, a basic passive monitoring view, an optional daily 'all good' opt-in, up to 5 miss-alerts a month, plus a limited Solo-Travel taster arriving July 2026 (2 trips/mo, ≤24h). It still includes 1 emergency contact. If you need multiple contacts, escalation, or SMS, you need Protect Me or Protect Me On The Move.
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from the app. Stay Connected & Travel Safely is a one-time purchase you keep even if you later subscribe to Protect Me or Protect Me On The Move.
Cancel anytime in your app store account — the Apple App Store or Google Play, wherever you subscribed. Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google directly; we never store your card details, so there is no billing account with us to close and no one to phone before you can leave. There are no cancellation fees. After you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of the period you've already paid for, then simply doesn't renew.
No. There are no activation fees, no cancellation fees, no equipment to buy or return, and no per-alert charges — the price shown is everything you pay. Try It is $0 forever. Stay Connected & Travel Safely is a single $4.99 one-time purchase. Protect Me ($29.99/yr) and Protect Me On The Move ($39.99/yr) include their SMS and escalation alerts in the subscription price, so an emergency never shows up on a bill.
No. If you subscribed to Protect Me at $19.99, you're grandfathered — your renewal stays at $19.99/year for as long as the subscription remains active. The May 2026 price update to $29.99/year applies to new subscribers only; it reflects the per-SMS cost of escalation alerts to up to 10 emergency contacts. If you cancel and later resubscribe, the then-current price applies, so keeping the subscription active is what preserves your original rate.
No ads in any plan. A safety app should be clean and focused, not cluttered with advertising.
No. We collect minimal data and never sell or share it with third parties. Protect Me On The Move location data is purged after 72 hours; the rest is end-of-life on your account.
Demumu charges weekly for basic check-ins on iOS only. I'm Alive offers a $4.99 Stay Connected & Travel Safely one-time upgrade, Protect Me at $29.99/yr, and Protect Me On The Move at $39.99/yr with a 7-day free trial. Works on both iOS and Android. See our full comparison.
