RunBuddy vs SafeBeacon

What is RunBuddy? Have you ever been out for a walk, run, or ride and suddenly found yourself in an uncomfortable or potentially dangerous situation? All of us have. That’s why we built RunBuddy – a smartphone application that acts as your “buddy” while you’re out for a walk, run, or ride. RunBuddy is a safety tool for the endurance sport community. The app is designed to advocate for you, to get attention to your situation, when you may not be able to. How Does RunBuddy Work? Using cellular connectivity, RunBuddy: - Allows your “buddies” to see your location on a map in real time. - Sends both automated and manually activated in-app alerts to your buddies if you sense or the app senses that you could be in trouble. RunBuddy is free to download. This way, anyone can be a "buddy". The free "buddy" version must be downloaded and set up in your phone or your buddy's phone in order to receive the in-app alerts. To view your friend's activity, click on the "Buddy Activities" tab in the menu. The fully functional version of RunBuddy requires a subscription - which you can sign up for in the Settings tab in the menu. About RunBuddy Subscription features: - Panic button alerts - Automatic stationary and overspeed alerts - Log and keep track of your activity history - Invite others to watch your activity and receive alerts To invite your friends and family to download RunBuddy so they can be your "buddy" while you are out for your walk, run, or ride, go to the Invite Friends tab in the menu - where you can invite them via text message, Facebook, etc. Billing information: Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase.

You lace up. You head out alone. Your family and loved ones shouldn’t have to wonder if you’re okay. SafeBeacon is the safety app built for runners, hikers, cyclists, walkers and seasoned travelers who train or adventure solo. Start an activity, and your designated guardians can follow your route in real time — no app download required on their end. If something goes wrong, they’ll know exactly where you are. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap Start before your run, ride, or hike 2. Guardians receive a link via SMS or email 3. They follow your live GPS route from any browser 4. Activity ends — they get a completion notification AUTOMATIC SAFETY ALERTS SafeBeacon monitors your movement during every activity. If you stop moving unexpectedly, your guardians are alerted automatically — no button press needed. Combined with one-tap SOS and crash detection, you’re covered whether you roll an ankle on a trail or get into an accident on the road.
