What does Life360 cost?

If what you need is your people on one map with arrival alerts, across iPhone and Android, Warden (top pick) covers a whole circle of up to 10 people with one subscription; how its pricing works is further down.

Life360 prices on the US App Store

As of 6 November 2026, per Life360's US App Store listing (USD):

The App Store lists the amount of each in-app purchase but not whether it's billed monthly or yearly. Life360's own pricing page did not load for our checker, so we don't print monthly or annual figures from other sites. The App Store and Google Play show the exact price and period in your currency before you confirm.

Two things Life360's help center does say about billing:

• Memberships renew automatically until canceled (Purchase a Membership). Sales tax may apply in some places.
• Annual is cheaper than monthly: "you can save up to 16% on your membership by switching to annual billing" (Switch Membership Billing Frequency).

What each Life360 plan includes

Combining the App Store listing (6 November 2026) and Life360's help center (7 November 2026):

Sources: Location & Drive History, Notification Center ("Free memberships include notifications for 2 Places. To receive notifications for unlimited Places, upgrade your Membership plan"), Free Crash Detection, Roadside Assistance Coverage, and the App Store listing (Gold: "30 days of Location History", "Crash Detection with emergency dispatch and live agent support"; Platinum: "50 miles of Free towing", "Medical Support"). Where the two Life360 sources disagree (Silver history), we show both. The US pages we read don't say which tier unlocks unlimited Places; Life360's German App Store listing (7 November 2026) says Silver includes up to 5 Places and Gold unlimited Places (App Store DE).

Life360 Silver

The entry paid tier. Per the App Store listing it includes crash detection; per the help center, 7 days of location history. It does not include roadside assistance or emergency dispatch for crashes in the countries where Gold does.

Life360 Gold

The tier most of the "extras" start at. Gold adds 30 days of history, crash detection with emergency dispatch and live agent support, and (in the US and Canada) roadside assistance with towing up to 5 miles and two free service calls per paid Circle per year. In the US and Canada, Gold and Platinum also include Family Safety Assist: roadside help, stolen phone protection, disaster response, medical assistance and travel support, which Life360 describes as "expert advice and service coordination" (Family Safety Assist).

Emergency dispatch after a crash covers Gold and Platinum members in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and Gold members in Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy and Germany.

Life360 Platinum

Everything in Gold, with towing up to 50 miles and "Medical Support" on the listing.

Life360 Premium (outside those five countries)

Life360 says: "For users outside of the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, we offer Life360 Premium with additional features" (Free Membership). Silver, Gold and Platinum are "available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand" (Missing Membership Features). Gold does exist in some European countries for crash dispatch, per the crash detection page above. Check the plans shown in the app for your country.

Is Life360 free?

Yes, the basic service is free to download and use. Life360's listing says the free app gives access to "Advanced Location Sharing, Location History, Crash Detection, and Place Alerts". The limits that usually push people to pay are 2 days of history and alerts for only 2 Places.

Free vs paid: what changes

The 7-day free trial

The listing says you can "enjoy a 7-day free trial". Life360's help center adds the details (Purchase a Membership):

• You're billed when the 7 days end. "To avoid being billed before the 7-day trial ends, cancel the membership a day prior the renewal date."
• "The free trial period cannot be skipped."
• There is a "limited number of free trials per customer".
• Roadside assistance and Family Safety Assist are "not available during the 7-day free trial period".

How Life360 billing works in practice

One membership, one Circle. Paid features attach to a Circle; Life360 marks Circles with an active Silver, Gold or Platinum membership in the Circle Switcher. If you're in two Circles, paying in one doesn't upgrade the other.

Anyone in the Circle can buy it. "Anyone in a Circle can sign up for a Life360 membership (including children if they have access to mobile purchases), and only the subscriber can cancel" (Cancel My Membership). If you can't find a charge in your own account, another Circle member may be the subscriber.

Switching monthly and annual. On iPhone (iOS 26 and iOS 27): Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Life360 > See All Plans, then pick a plan. On Android (Google Play) or Life360.com you cancel and subscribe again once the current period ends. The same applies to downgrading (Downgrade My Membership).

Pausing on Android. Monthly memberships bought on Google Play can be paused for one, two or three months, up to three times in 12 months; the Circle drops to the free plan meanwhile. Annual plans can't be paused (Pause My Membership).

Gifting. In the US you can gift 3, 6 or 12 months of Gold from Settings > Gift a Membership (Gift a Life360 Membership).

Canceling. In the app: Settings > Account > Cancel Membership. On iPhone: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Life360 > Cancel Subscription (Apple). On Android: Google Play > profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Life360 > Cancel subscription. Life360 does not refund unused time; you keep the plan until the paid period ends. Leaving a Circle or deleting the app does not cancel it (how to leave Life360).

Which Life360 plan do you need?

• A teen just got their licence and drives alone at night: crash detection with dispatch is the reason to pay; that's Gold or Platinum.
• An older parent drives long distances: Gold's roadside help and dispatch may matter; Platinum if longer towing distances do.
• A family that only wants "got to school" and "home" alerts: the free plan's 2 Places may be enough.
• Adults who want to see each other and know everyone got home: none of the driving extras apply; compare apps built for that (Life360 alternatives).

How Warden's pricing works

The best Life360 alternative for adults who both choose to share is Warden (top pick). It keeps pricing to one decision for the whole circle:

1. One person subscribes: monthly, yearly or once for life. No weekly plans.
2. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
3. That one plan covers a circle of up to 10 people. Everyone you invite joins free.
4. Everything is included: live map with battery level, arrive and leave alerts for unlimited places, 30 days of history, the "hasn't moved" alert, SOS to your circle, messages and check-ins.

iPhone and Android share one circle, data is stored in the EU, and there are no ads. The App Store and Google Play show Warden's price in your currency. Warden has no free version and doesn't include driving reports, roadside or medical services; if you need those, Life360's tiers are built around them.

How we checked

Life360's website pricing page did not load for our checker, so no monthly or annual amounts are given.
