They sleep better at night.

"My daughter just started driving. The drive score feature alone is worth every penny. I went from anxious to confident in one week."

"Switched from Life360. CircleUs does everything at half the price — and the privacy bubble means my teens actually use it willingly."

"The elder care mode is something no other app has. I can keep an eye on my mom without her feeling watched. She calls it her safety net."

FAQ

Questions answered.

Yes. The Free plan never expires and requires no credit card. It includes real-time location for up to 5 members, 3 place alerts, one-tap SOS, privacy bubble, and temporary sharing. Gold adds power features like crash detection and drive reports, but the core safety features are free forever.

Yes — CircleUs is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Family members can mix devices freely, so an iPhone parent can share a circle with an Android teenager with no issues.

The privacy bubble lets you share your general neighborhood area instead of your exact address. You can toggle this per-circle — so family sees your precise location, while friends only see the rough area. It's designed for teens and adults who want to stay connected without feeling tracked.

CircleUs uses adaptive GPS — it checks location frequently when someone is moving and slows down when stationary. On average, users see 47% less battery drain compared to Life360. Background location is optimized for iOS and Android to stay within system-recommended limits.

Absolutely. You can be in a Family circle (full location), a Friends circle (area only), and a Care circle (full + emergency access) all at once, each with its own visibility rules. You control what each group sees independently.

One-tap SOS instantly alerts every member of your circle and can contact emergency services with your live GPS coordinates. Crash detection (Gold) automatically detects sudden impacts and sends alerts without you needing to do anything. Both features work even on the lock screen.

CircleUs is privacy-first. Your location data is end-to-end encrypted, never sold to third parties, and never used for advertising. Location history is stored for 30 days on Gold, then deleted. You can export or delete all your data at any time from the app settings.

Yes. Cancel anytime through the App Store or Google Play. If you cancel during a billing period, you keep Gold access until the end of that period. After cancellation you automatically return to the Free plan — your circles and members are never deleted.
