What Life360 does
Life360, founded in 2007 and based in San Mateo, California, runs a technology platform for locating people, pets, and things. Its main product is the Life360 mobile app, which uses a freemium model. Families get real-time location sharing, location history, and smart notifications for free. Paid tiers add driving safety features such as crash detection, roadside assistance, and driver reports; digital safety tools such as data breach alerts, identity theft protection, and credit monitoring; and emergency help including SOS dispatch and travel support. The company also owns Tile, which sells Bluetooth tracking devices through online and in-store retailers. The Tile app has a free service plus paid Premium and Premium Protect plans that add warranties and item reimbursement. Together, the two brands cover both people and belongings, with revenue coming from recurring subscriptions and hardware sales in North America and international markets.

What is Life360 worth?
On an owner-earnings DCF, Life360's most-likely value is about $90 versus a recent price near $44 (106% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~$14) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.
Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.
Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →
