No, a subscription is not required to use your Plegium device. You can use the free Plegium app to add up to 5 emergency contacts who will receive free location text messages and phone calls if you ever trigger your pepper spray or alarm button.
However, we do offer an optional paid subscription called Plegium Premium, which includes additional safety features such as professional monitoring, live GPS tracking, an in-app panic button, and more. The cost for Plegium Premium is $4.99 per month, with a free trial available for one month.
