guardtour.app vs JWM Guard Tour

guardtour.app is a mobile-first guard tour system for checking patrols and managing sites. Guards can verify checkpoints with QR, NFC or GPS geofencing; records can include timestamps, location, controller ID and optional photos. The app can capture scans, incidents, photos and GPS without connectivity, queuing more than 10,000 events per device for later synchronization. A command center provides a live map across sites, incident workflows and AI detection of missed check-ins, incorrect scans, incomplete routes and operational deviations. The site lists more than 100 integrations, plus MCP access and webhooks. Android 8.0+ and iOS 14+ are supported, and no proprietary hardware is required. The Free plan costs nothing and includes five checkpoints and one site, but has no API write access or advanced integrations. Pro costs $29 a month with 10 checkpoints and three sites; Business costs $79 a month with 40 checkpoints and 15 sites. Bluetooth beacon checkpoints remain on the roadmap; Man Down, facial verification and workforce management are Business beta features.
