- After 3 years: FamPing is still $99 — the subscription is at $300.
- After 5 years: FamPing is still $99 — the subscription is at $500.
What you get for $99 once
- 5-minute location pings. Every family member's phone reports position automatically to your dashboard.
- Named-place geofences. Mark home, school, work — get an alert the moment someone arrives or leaves, no third party ever sees the address.
- Full-day path per member. The same stop-clustering engine as Door Tracker draws each family member's day as a route with numbered, timed stops.
- Multiple family members, no per-seat fee. Add everyone in the household on one license — Life360 gates member count behind paid tiers.
- Android app for family phones. Simple login, background ping with a visible indicator, battery-friendly interval.
- No renewal, ever. The license does not expire and there is no per-seat meter — $99 is the whole price.
Pricing questions
Is the $99 price permanent?
It's an introductory rate for the first 1,000 licenses. After that cap, new licenses are $299 — but your purchase price never changes once you've bought.
Does FamPing sell or share location data?
It can't — there's no company in the middle. Location data goes from the family phone straight to the server you deployed, and nowhere else.
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/famping-mvp. The Whop price buys the packaged installer, Android app build and updates.
How is this different from just sharing location in Find My/Google Maps?
Those show a live dot but not history — FamPing keeps a searchable log of where someone was and for how long, plus alerts the moment they arrive or leave a named place.
FamPing — $99, one time
Or get FamPing plus every other app in the suite: the OneTimeSuite bundle is currently $97, one time.
