Resgrid is a logistics, communication and management (LCM) system that can be used by fire departments (volunteer and career), police, emergency medical services (EMS), search and rescue (SAR), hazmat, CERT, emergency management and other first responder or disaster response organizations to coordinate, communicate and manage personnel, resources (units/apparatuses), incident and reporting. Resgrid will show you the status and staffing level of all your personnel and apparatuses. Set automated staffing schedules, attach notes, images and files to dispatches (calls), blast out messages, poll personnel, create and view callbacks and much more. Log calls, take notes, use the Big Board to show all information on a monitor in your station. Resgrid can manage your calls, generated either internally or from an external CAD system. Auto import calls via emails, text messages or API calls. Resgrid can dispatch via Push Notifications, Email, Text Messages and Voice Calls. So even your personnel without smart phones or cell phones at all can use land lines to get dispatched from anywhere in the world. Resgrid is the only complete LCM (Logistics, Communication & Management) system for first responders and disaster response. With a suite of mobile applications (for Personnel, Units, Incident Commands and Data Reporting) and a zero-installation cloud based SaaS backend you can get up and running in minutes. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Resgrid Responder at Free against Radio ID's $0.99. Resgrid Responder also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7). Radio ID's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 38%) and ratings volume (46 vs 7). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Resgrid Responder is free to download; Radio ID costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Resgrid Responder holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio ID has 46 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Resgrid Responder's written reviews are positive against 64% of Radio ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Resgrid Responder ships an update every 5 months, Radio ID every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
