What both publish
| Fact | BuddySOS | Geofin |
|---|---|---|
| Live map | Group members appear as named live pins with distance and compass direction, with links for walking directions or calling. | Its live family map shows family members’ real-time locations down to street level. |
| Safe zones | Users draw or address-place geofenced circles; the minimum radius is 100 metres and entry or exit alerts go to the group. | Custom safe zones can alert when children arrive at school or leave home. |
| SOS | Holding the SOS control for two seconds starts a five-second cancel countdown, then alerts the active group with live location. | The one-tap SOS shares live location, audio, and a panic alert with the family. |
| Support | BuddySOS says it aims to reply to support and partnership messages within one business day. | The site lists [email protected] for support and [email protected] for privacy requests. |
