Looking for a free or open-source alternative to Life360? FamPing is the closest direct swap — MIT-licensed source on GitHub, or a $39 one-time packaged install. Since you're already auditing what you pay Life360 every month, here are four more pay-once tools from the same catalog worth a look while you're at it — different jobs, same idea: buy the software once instead of renting it forever.
1. FamPing — replaces Life360
5-minute GPS pings, named-place geofence alerts, and a full day's path per family member — on your own server. $39 once vs Life360's $99.99+/yr (Plus). Free on GitHub, or the packaged installer on Whop.

Why this list is worth bookmarking
Every app above is a one-time purchase with MIT-licensed source, no accounts with us and no telemetry. None of them are trying to be the next Life360 — they're trying to be the last subscription you pay for that specific job.

5-minute GPS pings, named-place geofence alerts, and a full day's path per family member — on your own server.
