Holler vs Noonlight

Noonlight connects a panic button in its app to a 24/7 monitoring center that can send 911 to your location if you do not cancel with your PIN. That monitored response is its core, and the fuller plans are paid. Holler does not offer monitored dispatch. It alerts the people you choose.

What Holler does today

Share a private live-location link. Guardians open it in any web browser, with no app or account.
Send a manual SOS that notifies your Guardians with your location.
Set an optional return time. If you have not checked in five minutes after it, Holler's server sends your Guardians an overdue alert, even if your phone app is closed.
Notify Guardians by email and by app or browser push.
Optional stationary alert: if you stop moving for the time you choose, Holler asks "Are you OK?" and alerts your Guardians if you don't answer.
Crash detection (beta, opt-in): a possible hard fall or crash followed by stillness starts an "Are you OK?" countdown, and your Guardians are alerted if you don't respond. It can miss real crashes and can false-alarm. In a browser it only works while the page is open and the screen is on.
Run in a phone browser today. The iPhone app is in private beta and not on the App Store yet.

Not available yet: SMS or text alerts, monitored 911 dispatch, paid plans. Alerts depend on your phone's signal and battery and on email and push delivery, so they can be delayed or missed. Holler does not contact emergency services. If you are in danger or hurt, call 911.
