FollowMee GPS Tracker

Overview

FollowMee GPS Tracker turns phones and tablets into location trackers for families and organizations, with Android as the tracking-device starting point and iOS and Windows devices also supported in a shared account. It suits users who want location monitoring alongside business controls such as device groups and delegated access. Its strongest case is combining live maps, history and business-oriented management; its main constraint is that free access is limited to last known location.

Key features

FollowMee supports live location on a real-time map, geofences, travel history and exact-path viewing. Together, these cover routine questions—where a device is now, whether it has crossed a boundary, and where it has been—without making the service only a family locator.

Accounts can track multiple devices, including iOS and Windows devices, on one map. Tracking defaults to five-minute intervals, but users can adjust that cadence or set a schedule. That flexibility helps balance timely updates against scheduled use, though the default is not continuous location reporting.

When internet access drops, the app continues tracking and stores data on the device for upload after reconnection. Users can share locations by URL or embed maps showing current locations for one or more devices and a device’s history. These options are useful for coordination and publishing a map, but sharing is opt-in rather than automatic.

Business tools include device groups, delegated access for group leaders, MDM deployment, API access, email reports and extended history. Users can download location reports as well. This makes FollowMee more relevant to teams managing company devices than a simple family-only locator, while the combination of group controls and reporting gives administrators ways to separate oversight by team.

The app offers a password-protected lock screen. Its listing says it serves no ads in the app or on its website and does not share user data with outside parties; Google Play says data is encrypted in transit and users can request deletion. Support resources include FAQs, missing-update troubleshooting and forums.

Pricing

FollowMee uses a freemium model with a free plan. Free access lets users view a device’s last known location, a useful starting point for occasional checks but a meaningful limit for anyone who needs ongoing monitoring. Geofences, mileage reports, location sharing and other services are available through the website, so users should assess those needs before treating the free tier as a complete tracking setup.

No paid plan prices or seat quotas are specified here; plans without a published price are custom pricing. That leaves teams needing to budget for geofencing, reporting or expanded business capabilities with less certainty than the feature set itself provides. No trial length or renewal terms are given.

Platforms

FollowMee covers Android, iOS, Windows, web and API. Its setup resources include iOS and Android apps, plus Windows 11 UWP and desktop apps. The Android phone or tablet is the stated tracking-device starting point, while accounts can include iOS and Windows devices and show their locations together. Web and API support broaden its fit for map access and business integration; the available platform facts do not establish parity of every feature across clients.

Who it's for

FollowMee is a fit for families tracking phones, organizations monitoring employee or company devices, and coordinators managing event participants. Its maker also describes use for logging state residency or time records. Device groups and delegated group-manager access are particularly useful when a business wants leaders to oversee only their own devices rather than the entire account.

It is less compelling for someone who only wants a minimal family locator and expects full ongoing tracking at no cost: the free tier centers on last known location, while several services sit beyond it. Teams should also weigh the custom-pricing uncertainty if their decision depends on a specific paid capability.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Live maps, geofences and travel history cover both current monitoring and route review.
• Pros: Device groups and delegated access give business users a way to divide oversight by group.
• Pros: Offline tracking stores location data for upload when connectivity returns.
• Pros: API access, MDM deployment, email reports and extended history support business device management beyond basic family tracking.
• Cons: Free access is limited to last known location, so it does not deliver the broader monitoring features at no cost.
• Cons: The five-minute default interval may be too coarse for users who need more frequent updates unless they adjust it.

Alternatives

For a broader set of family-locator options, see Family Locator Apps.

Choose OwnTracks if open source and open communication protocols matter more than FollowMee’s business-management emphasis; it is free and supports Android, iOS, API and self-hosting. Be Closer is a narrower Android and iOS alternative with a free real-time-location tier and a Premium plan at 3.99 USD per month for unlimited location history and places.

BuddySOS is worth considering for Android and iOS users who want a free tier with one group and one safe zone, or a $1.99/month Pro plan that removes ads and adds more groups and zones. Family Locator offers a free version with complete functionality and a one-time Lifetime plan at 14.99 USD for premium features, making it a different choice for buyers who prefer a one-off purchase.

Findmykids is another Android, iOS and web family-tracking option, with a free Básico tier and a Cuidar plan priced at 3.58 EUR per month.

OtoZen offers a free plan at 0.00 USD per year with two days of drive history and two places. Bluelane is an iOS and web alternative with a free iOS app and a Pro annual subscription at 47.99 USD per year. These options are better suited when their stated platforms or plan terms align more closely with the choice at hand.

Verdict

Choose FollowMee if you need one service for family or company-device tracking and value live maps, history, geofences, device groups and delegated access. Its mix of location tools and business controls is the central reason to pick it. Look elsewhere if a complete free tracking service or predictable published business pricing is essential: free access is limited to last known location, and the paid-cost picture is not clear.
