Guide
Do you really need a monthly subscription?
Silvie Team·5 min read
Why does Silvie have a monthly subscription? Many people look for devices they pay for once. They are tired of adding another monthly bill.
Why hardware alone isn't the product
The sensor alone does not do the job. The monthly plan pays for the parts you don't see. There is software that tells a fall from someone bending down. There are alerts to the people you invite. There is the app your family checks. And there is help from a real person when something is wrong. It is a service that has to work every night.
What to watch out for
Some devices promise lifetime safety monitoring for one upfront price. Ask who will keep that service running in year three. With Silvie, your family uses the app on normal days too, not only after a fall. See the current pricing on the shop page.
