What You Keep (Free) vs. What You Lose

• Keep (free): Location sharing, 2 Place Alerts (home/work), crash detection, basic driving reports
• Lose (Gold): Unlimited Place Alerts, 30 days location history, roadside assistance, SOS button
• Lose (Platinum): Everything in Gold plus ID theft protection, stolen phone insurance, live advisor

For most families, the free tier with 2 Place Alerts (home and school/work) covers the primary use case: knowing when your kid arrives at school and gets home safely.

Privacy Considerations

Life360 has faced criticism for selling aggregated location data to data brokers. In 2021, they confirmed selling "anonymized" data to companies like X-Mode and Cuebiq. If privacy is your concern, consider switching to Apple's built-in Find My (iPhone) or Google's Family Link (Android) — both are free, built into the OS, and don't sell data to third parties.

Free Alternatives

• Apple Find My (free): Built-in location sharing for iPhone families, no subscription needed
• Google Family Link (free): Location sharing + parental controls for Android
• WhatsApp/iMessage location sharing: Share live location temporarily when needed
• Life360 free tier: Basic location sharing works fine without paying
