Patent-pending automated service for those critical situations that require you to alert Family and Friends (Emergency Contacts) through your profile with exact location and real-time video from your mobile phone. Say Help™ was developed by local law enforcement officers and inspired by the kidnapping of two young women in Indiana who bravely used their smartphone to record video of their capturer. Had Say Help™ been available to them then, they would be here today to tell their story. You have heard of situations where a victim needed emergency assistance but was unable to call any assistance (Friends, Family, Police, etc.) because their silence was necessary to prevent drawing attention to themselves (e.g. school shootings, bank robbery, home invasion/burglary, etc.). Or intense, rapidly evolving situations when they did not have the time to dial Family and Friends, provide them with their location, and describe the situation (e.g. domestic violence, medical emergency, robbery, kidnapping, assault, abduction, shooting, etc.). Say Help™ addresses these situations. Say Help™ requests emergency help by sending a text message (including WhatsApp) to your Family and Friends (Emergency Contacts of your Choice). This message can be sent manually using the app, or automatically through stating “Help! Help! Help!” The SMS text message contains a unique link to your Family and Friends to open a web-based portal to view your: * Basic identifying information, including your: - Photo - Name - Gender - Age - Address - Phone number - Vehicle information - Medical conditions - Emergency contacts * GPS information, including: - Current location - Where you have been since your request for help was sent - Current direction and speed of travel - The floor you are on (if in a building with this technology). Family and Friends have the ability to interact with you by: * Viewing live video through your device’s camera * Hearing live audio from your device’s microphone * Tracking your location if you are on the move Say Help™ should never take the place of calling 911 when you are able to do so but provides an alternative when you are unable to do so because your silence is necessary, or time is of the essence because of an intense, rapidly evolving situation. Your Privacy Is Important! Your information is sent to your Friends and Family members and terminates when you want it to terminate. If your attacker attempts to terminate his identity from being streamed, they are unable to do so. Historical information sent to Family and Friends can only be accessed by the developers of Say Help Team. However, upon receipt of a court order, we will provide information to law enforcement to assist their prosecution of your attacker. Our patent-pending service out-performs our competitors in many ways: * Your situation is continuously monitored. Say Help™ continuously monitors your critical incident until you terminate the transmission of information. * Your silence can request help. Unable to speak to prevent drawing attention to yourself? You can summons help manually with the click of a button within the app and provide to Family and Friends with your location and a live stream video/audio of the incident. * Your voice can request help. Does the situation involve a medical emergency, or is so intense and rapidly evolving that you do not have the time to required to reach out to your emergency contacts and provide your location and describe the situation? Say Help™ will do this for you by stating “Help! Help! Help!” Call when you can, say “Help! Help! Help!” if you can’t. Initial Say Help version is for Family Friends Only. Ability to contact 911, Police and/or Dispatcher is coming in future software versions. Visit sayhelp.com for more information.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Say Help at 5.0 against bSafe's 3.4. Say Help also leads on ads (none vs shown). bSafe's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. bSafe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and Say Help sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Say Help holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: bSafe has 208 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
bSafe ships an update every 3 weeks, Say Help monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
