Choose GuardsPro if…
Choose GuardsPro if you have very few users, want the lowest possible entry price, or need its vehicle patrol, visitor or parking modules or its payroll integrations.
A GuardsPro alternative with everything included in the plan
GuardsPro (formerly Guardso) has a low per-user entry price, with scheduling, dispatch and invoicing sold as add-on modules. ForceVera includes the core in every plan and never charges for office or client users.
Is there a GuardsPro alternative without per-user add-ons?
Yes. ForceVera charges one flat monthly price per security company based on the number of guards, and every plan includes scheduling, a geofenced time clock, QR guard tours, incident and daily reports and the guard mobile app. Admins, dispatchers, supervisors and client users are never counted, so adding staff or giving clients access does not raise the bill.
