Safe Trip vs Crisis24
Crisis24 (a Garda subsidiary) is the largest premium travel-risk-intelligence platform on the market. It serves Fortune 500 enterprises, governments, and large NGOs, typically through annual contracts in the multi-thousand-dollar-a-month range, with 24/7 analyst desks and bundled crisis-response services.
Safe Trip serves a different customer: the COO managing a 50 to 500-person team that travels internationally but doesn’t run a security operations centre. Same primary data sources, modern self-serve UX, ~1/10th the price.
What both products do well
- Aggregate the same authoritative sources: ACLED, WHO, USGS, NOAA, GDACS, and the major government travel advisories
- Cover all six risk categories: disease, conflict, natural disaster, crime, civil unrest, and infrastructure
- Surface country and regional risk dashboards for duty-of-care reporting
- Provide alerting when a country’s risk picture changes

For mid-market organisations (50 to 5,000 employees) that travel internationally but don't run a security operations centre, yes. Safe Trip uses the same primary data sources (ACLED, WHO, USGS, NOAA, GDACS, the major government advisories) at roughly 1/10th the price, with a self-serve dashboard. For Fortune 500 customers needing 24/7 analyst chat and bespoke crisis response, Crisis24 is still the right answer.
How is the pricing different from Crisis24?
Safe Trip for Teams starts at €99/month (Starter, up to 25 employees), with Pro at €299/month and Enterprise from €500/month. Crisis24 typically negotiates annual contracts in the €1,500,€10,000+/month range depending on seat count and services. Safe Trip Starter is self-serve checkout; no procurement cycle.
Does Safe Trip cover the same risk categories as Crisis24?
Yes, disease, conflict, natural disaster, crime, civil unrest, and infrastructure. Crisis24 adds bespoke human-analyst commentary on top; Safe Trip leans on transparent, versioned algorithms with editorial overrides instead. Every Safe Trip Score links back to the events that produced it.
Can I get crisis-response services through Safe Trip?
Not today. Safe Trip is intelligence + duty-of-care reporting. Crisis24 (and International SOS) bundle ground-side response, security drivers, medical evacuation, kidnap response. If you need that, you need them. We integrate cleanly alongside.
What about transparency?
Safe Trip publishes its full methodology, the algorithm version manifest, every data source with refresh cadence, and corrections within 2 hours of identification. Crisis24's commercial intelligence isn't published the same way. Whether that matters depends on whether your legal or compliance team needs to defend the score.
