Choose THERMS if…
Choose THERMS if you want NFC checkpoints or GPS history playback, or if you have few office and client users, so per-user pricing works out cheaper for you.
A THERMS alternative where office and client users are free
THERMS is one of the most transparent tools in the market, with published prices and month-to-month billing. ForceVera sells the same way, but counts guards only, adds client invoicing and puts your branding on what clients see.
What is the difference between THERMS and ForceVera?
Both publish prices, run month to month and cover scheduling, guard tours, reports, dispatch and a client portal. The main differences are pricing and scope: THERMS bills per active user, while ForceVera charges one price per company by guard count with office and client users free, and adds client invoicing and white-label branding.

FAQ
ForceVera vs THERMS: questions, answered
Is ForceVera cheaper than THERMS?
It depends on your team. THERMS charges by the number of active users, so office staff who log in count towards the price; ForceVera charges per company by guard count, with office, dispatcher and client users included. Compare both at your team size using each published price list.
Does ForceVera support NFC checkpoints?
ForceVera uses QR codes, which you print yourself, so there are no tags to buy. NFC and beacon checkpoints are not available today.
Can I invoice clients in ForceVera?
Yes. ForceVera creates invoices from approved guard hours with bill rates, overtime and holiday rates and tax, and you record payments by hand. Invoicing is included in Enterprise and is an add-on on Basic and Pro.
Can I put my own branding on ForceVera?
