Demumu sends a single email. Beacon Safe reaches contacts on every channel that matters — because real emergencies need more than an inbox.
If your first contact doesn't respond, Beacon Safe escalates — calls, follow-ups, and re-alerts over 24 hours. Demumu stops after one email.
Add your family, friends, and neighbors. Demumu limits you to a single emergency contact.
Know when your contacts have seen the alert and are checking on you. Demumu has no way for contacts to respond.
