The short version

  • Each has a real cost: SafeCity the vendor's own homepage as captured by the Internet Archive in December 2021/January 2022 confirms Safecity is run by Red Dot Foundation, presenting itself as a community safety initiative with blog content and no commercial pricing page, product tier, or subscription anywhere on the site, consistent with a not-for-profit rather than a commercially sold product; Transmit Security pricing is not published, so it cannot be compared early against competitors that post per monthly active user rates, and the eventual quote often mixes per-user and per-transaction units.
  • They diverge on capability: SafeCity covers Video Surveillance, Transmit Security covers Passwordless authentication.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Transmit Security

  • Pricing is not published, so it cannot be compared early against competitors that post per monthly active user rates, and the eventual quote often mixes per-user and per-transaction units.
  • Migrating a live consumer identity base is a high risk project, and credential migration constraints mean some users must re-register, which shows up as measurable churn.
  • The vendor is smaller than the identity incumbents, so the partner and systems integrator pool is thinner and staffing a large programme is harder.
  • Workforce identity is not the focus, so an organisation wanting one vendor for employees and customers will still run two platforms.
  • The fraud detection value depends on traffic volume feeding the models, so a smaller deployment gets less benefit from exactly the capability that justified choosing it over a plain identity provider.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

SafeCity: Is Safecity free to use?

Safecity is operated by the Red Dot Foundation, a non-profit organization (Sec 8, Not for Profit in India). The platform itself is presented as a free service that allows users to safely report incidents of abuse anonymously.

Source
Transmit Security: Do we have to replace our existing identity provider?

No. The services are composable, so detection and response or verification can be adopted alongside an existing provider such as Okta or Entra ID.

SafeCity: How is Safecity funded?

Safecity's parent organization, the Red Dot Foundation, relies on donations to support its operations. The website includes a donation option for those who wish to contribute to the organization's mission.

Source
Transmit Security: Is fraud detection an extra licence?

It is a separate service, but it is designed to run inside the authentication flow rather than as a bolted-on second vendor. Confirm which services are in your quote.

SafeCity: Is there a paid tier or premium features?

The available content does not disclose any paid tiers, premium features, or subscription models. Safecity appears to operate as a free service with no tiered pricing.

Source
Transmit Security: Is there a way to try it?

Yes, a free developer tier exists for evaluation, though production use is an enterprise agreement.
