Why Choose Alert1 Over Life Alert?
More than 234,000 families nationwide have relied on Alert1 to stay safe and live better.
5 Reasons Why Alert1 is the Best Life Alert Alternative
1. Value
We have systems to meet every need, lifestyle, and budget (invaluable protection at affordable pricing)
2. Support
Once a member sends an alert, our emergency response team stays on the line with them until help arrives (not all companies do this)
3. Transparency
Alert1 does not charge our members for "false alarms" or multiple emergency button-pushes (some other companies do)
4. Flexibility
We provide monthly service plan options so no one is "locked in," as well as discounted annual plans (some of our competitors only offer multi-year plans)
5. Service
Our emergency Command Centers are staffed by trained agents who are available 24/7/365 (professional responders are always standing by)
Alert1: The Best Life Alert Alternative
Life Alert is often quoted for their well-remembered television slogan, "I've fallen and I can't get up.”™ Unlike Life Alert, Alert1 does not advertise on TV. Without high-priced commercial air time to finance, Alert1 is able to provide affordable solutions that match and even exceed the features of Life Alert’s medical alert systems. Another important difference between the two companies is that Life Alert requires 3 year contracts from its members, while Alert1 offers flexible plan options that range from just one month at a time to 1 year. We have found that some members enjoy our annual plans as they offer the greatest savings, while others prefer paying one month at a time. No matter which plan is selected, members are never “locked in” and may choose to cancel at any time. LifeAlert systems can be more than three times more expensive than those of Alert1. Choosing Alert1 as an alternative to Life Alert could save you more than $140 in the first year alone!¹
