Has anyone actually compared life alert vs other medical alert systems lately?
Life alert has the brand name but whenever someone actually sits down to compare features and pricing against newer companies, the differences are pretty significant
The contract length alone is a major factor, 3 years vs month to month, but there are also differences in response times, GPS capability, fall detection accuracy, waterproof ratings, and whether the company charges activation or equipment fees
It feels like life alert is coasting on decades of brand awareness from those TV commercials while everyone else has innovated around them
For anyone who has actually done a side by side comparison recently, what were the biggest differences that stood out?
