What's the advantage of Zood over Find My Friends from Apple[0] and Family Link from Google[1]?

The biggest difference is that Zood uses end-to-end encryption, meaning I (as the service operator) can't see your location. Your location is encrypted before it ever leaves your phone, and the only person that can decrypt it, is the person with which you are sharing. More info on the second half of the page here:
