CrisisGo vs Text-Em-All (formerly Call-Em-All)

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.

Text-Em-All is a messaging platform for businesses and organizations sending texts and voice broadcasts to opted-in contacts. It supports two-way conversations, automated messages, scheduled broadcasts, personalization tags, keyword automation, real-time analytics, and carrier registration. Voice broadcasts can be sent alongside SMS or instead of it. The iOS and Android apps handle replies, conversation management, and new texts to up to 15 people; mass broadcasts are sent from the web app. Its free Starter plan includes 25 credits for testing voice broadcasts and texting your own number, but mass texting requires an upgrade. Monthly pricing depends on the number of unique people messaged and starts at $19 a month for 1–50 people. Recipients must consent to messages, promotional messages require express written consent, and political solicitation is not allowed. The company says the service is not HIPAA compliant because messages are not encrypted at rest and standard SMS cannot be encrypted in transit. Integration options include staffing and church platforms, Zapier, viaSocket, and a REST API intended for high-volume messaging above 50,000 messages per month.
