Comparison
Honest comparison — including what we don't ship yet.
We're explicit about our gaps because procurement teams check anyway. Here's where guardtour wins, where it ties, and where another vendor is the better pick.

When NOT to choose guardtour
We'd rather lose a deal than oversell. Pick a different vendor if any of these are deal-breakers today.
You depend on Bluetooth beacon checkpoints
BLE beacons are on our roadmap; we prioritised digitally signed NFC tags (NTAG, standard formats, programmed from the app, existing tags reusable). If beacons are a requirement today, QR-Patrol's '3play' offers them.
You need Man Down or facial verification generally available today
Both are in beta on our Business plan only. QR-Patrol ships Man Down and face verification generally available on its Pro and Gold plans.
You need full workforce management generally available today
Shift scheduling, payroll prep and dispatch are in beta on our Business plan only. TrackTik covers the whole workforce stack, billing included, generally available.
Your contract mandates fixed wall-mounted readers
We ship no proprietary hardware by design: any phone works, however old or basic. If a contract specifies dedicated readers, you would source them from a third party.

Transparent USD pricing — free forever with unlimited guards, no credit card to start.
View pricingOur take, by use case
Large enterprise, SOC 2 / ISO 27001 procurement gates today
Either
Both hold active SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. We add ENS, public pricing and on-premise under a special contract; TrackTik adds a longer North American enterprise track record.
Full workforce management (scheduling, payroll, billing) generally available today
TrackTik
TrackTik ships the whole workforce stack. Ours is in beta on the Business plan only, and we do not invoice your clients.
Healthcare with HIPAA + multi-site
guardtour.app
BAA available on Pro+, EU data residency option, native offline for radiology and basement zones. Cleanest fit.
Supervisors run the operation from WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack or Teams
guardtour.app
Our AI agent answers and takes actions from those chat tools: it reviews missed rounds and suspicious scans, creates and edits checkpoints and guards, and reconfigures routes. Included on the free plan, on by default, in each user's language.
You want to run the account from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini
Either
Both guardtour.app and QR-Patrol offer MCP access from Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini and can act on the account.
AI-heavy buyer (RFP requires production AI today)
guardtour.app
AI that chases missed clock-ins and check-ins and flags incorrect scans, incomplete routes and deviations is generally available, with model cards published on our sister site guardtourai.com.
Lone workers who need Man Down generally available today
QR-Patrol
Man Down and face verification are generally available on its Pro and Gold plans. Ours are in beta on the Business plan only.
