Frequently Asked Questions
Medical alert systems charge monthly. Why don't you?
They have 24/7 call centers and hardware to maintain. On the Family plan we send alerts directly to family—no call center needed, no hardware to ship—billed yearly with no monthly fee.
Is the free version limited?
The free tier includes the daily check-in and reminders to you, with no monthly fee. Automatic alerts to your family, multiple contacts, the caregiver dashboard, SMS, and the Family Plus AI voice agent are part of the optional Family tiers (billed yearly, never monthly).
What if I want to donate or support?
We appreciate it! Currently we don't accept donations. Best support is spreading the word to families who need it.
How do I cancel if I don't like it?
On the free tier there's nothing to cancel — just delete the app. If you've upgraded to a paid Family plan, you can cancel anytime in your App Store or Google Play account.
Medical alert systems cost $30-50 per month. What am I giving up by choosing a free app?
Medical alert systems offer a 24/7 call center and sometimes fall detection hardware. We offer proactive daily wellness checks; the check-in is free. Automatic family alerts come with the optional Family plan, billed yearly with no monthly fee. If your primary concern is daily safety confirmation rather than emergency fall detection, we cover it without any monthly cost.
