WhereU vs Life360
Life360 is family safety. WhereU is going out with your people.
Life360 is built for parents keeping an eye on kids and driving reports. WhereU is built for the group chat that wants to meet somewhere tonight.
Why WhereU is different
Same map surface, very different intent. WhereU has zero driving score, no parental dashboards, no crash detection — just friends, events, and places you can join right now.
