Free vs Plus

Compare FireRadar Free and Plus

Public wildfire and safety information stays free and ad-free. Free includes one Wildfire Watch dashboard location and three basic email Alerts. Plus expands those independent allowances to five locations and ten enhanced Alerts, with eligible SMS and supported browser notifications.

FireRadar Plus
$39/year

For several important locations

Choose annual billing at $39/year or monthly billing at $7.99/month. Both include up to 5 dashboard locations, 10 enhanced Alerts, Route alerts and eligible SMS.

A good fit when
You want dashboards for a home, cabin and family location.
You also want to monitor a campsite or travel destination.
You want eligible SMS in addition to email.

Choose Free when: one dashboard location, three basic Alerts and email delivery cover what you need.

Choose Plus when: you want several dashboard locations, more or advanced Alerts, Route alerts, supported browser delivery or eligible SMS.

Saved bookmarks are passive and consume neither dashboard-location nor Alert capacity. FireRadar Plus is not an emergency service and does not replace official evacuation alerts, fire authorities, road authorities or local restriction rules.

The practical difference

What does Free include?

One Wildfire Watch dashboard location, three basic Alerts, email delivery and passive Saved bookmarks. If that is all you need, stay on Free.

What does Plus add?

Plus increases the dashboard to five locations and focused Alert capacity to ten, then adds eligible SMS, supported browser notifications, Route alerts and advanced controls. Saved bookmarks consume neither allowance.

Can I choose a place before buying?

Yes. Start a Wildfire Watch first. FireRadar can keep your selected location through sign-in and checkout.

Are alerts immediate?

Not always. Timing depends on when the responsible source publishes an update and when FireRadar checks it. Delayed or unavailable data is not treated as an all-clear.
