GuardsPro vs GuardTrac

GuardsPro is a cloud-based management platform that connects security companies, guards, and clients. Its tools combine a guard mobile app with scheduling, reporting, dispatch, and live tracking, and it runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Guards can use the app for check-in and check-out, schedules, post orders, and reports. Managers can collect daily activity, incident, site-tour, task, dispatch-call, and passdown reports for approval before sharing them with clients. Live Tracker shows guard movement and tracking history, and provides geofencing around authorized client sites. Professional-plan integrations export payroll reports to QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP Workforce, and Paychex. GuardsPro says the service runs on Microsoft Azure, exchanges data over HTTPS with SSL, and uses incremental encrypted database backups. The pricing note lists plans from $4.25 per user per month and a 30-day trial; there is no free plan. Subscriptions are monthly with no long-term contract, and billing is based on active guards.

GuardTrac is a security guard management platform for tracking guards, scheduling shifts, billing, and reporting. Its GPS tracking and geofencing monitor guard locations and patrol routes in real time. Managers can automate shift assignments and resolve scheduling conflicts, while QR code checkpoints let teams confirm patrol completion. The iOS and Android app supports clocking in and out, checkpoint scans, incident reports, and communication with dispatch. TracBot answers plain-English questions using a customer's guard, site, shift, and report information. The web interface uses Mapbox for maps and geospatial views. GuardTrac offers a free plan for up to 5 users and 1 client location, and its site advertises a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. Pro is priced on request and adds unlimited client locations, TracBot, messaging, and an HR and Payroll module. Its privacy policy says precise location may be collected while a guard is clocked into an active shift, with collection pausing when the shift ends.
