CrisisGo vs PushPulse

CrisisGo is a safety platform for emergency preparedness, response, communication, and community coordination. Its coverage spans prevention, preparedness, response, accountability, recovery, and continuous improvement. Safety iResponse provides multi-channel alerts, panic button and ECHO Badge activation, live maps, and accountability. Safety Intervention Manager and Tipline support reporting, case management, and assigned follow-up workflows. Safety iPass handles visitor screening, secure check-in, event access, hall passes, and student movement. During emergencies, Emergency Mustering Manager tracks employees, contractors, and visitors, showing reported, unreported, and manually accounted people on one dashboard. Its Open API can connect to HR systems, access control, student information systems, dispatch software, IoT devices, and other applications supporting modern web services. CrisisGo says access to personal data is limited to people with a business need to know and that it has procedures for suspected data breaches. Downloads are listed for iOS, Android, Chrome, Windows PCs, Macs, and Chromebooks. Community members can create a free account and subscribe to message groups. The independent-schools Safety iResponse plan costs $2,520 a year per school and covers up to 500 students; each additional student is billed at $5 per year.

PushPulse is a safety and security operations platform for organizations coordinating responses to keep people safe. Its tools include mass notifications, panic buttons, incident management, push-to-talk and chat, forms and reporting, a document library, and live site views. Teams can send alerts by push notification, SMS, email, or voice, use safe/not-safe polls, and track responses in real time. The service runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Essentials costs $540 a year for up to 100 contacts; Plus is $780 a year and adds SMS, custom documents and forms, multilingual notifications, acknowledgements, poll questions, and guided onboarding. Unified costs $1,080 a year and adds multiple locations, audio channels, voice notifications, third-party integrations, API access, and webhooks. PushPulse offers a 14-day trial, but no free plan. Pricing depends on the number of users sending and receiving alerts; text messages and voice calls are billed through usage-based credit packs. The company says data is encrypted at rest and in transit, customer environments are logically isolated, and access is role-based.
