Guardso alternative
Guardso is now GuardsPro
Guardso is now GuardsPro: as of October 2026, guardso.com redirects to guardspro.com, which sells per-user tiers at $5, $8 and $10 a month ($4.25 to $8.50 on annual billing) with a 30-day trial. If you are looking for an alternative, CGuardPro offers one plan with every feature at $5 per user per month, plus $299.99 once for implementation and a 7-day free trial. GuardsPro is cheaper at its entry tier; CGuardPro includes tours, scheduling and a control room without add-ons.
What happened to Guardso?
It changed its name. The guardso.com address now forwards to guardspro.com, and GuardsPro's own website still links its Android and iOS apps, its LinkedIn page and its Capterra reviews under the Guardso name. Listing sites that carried Guardso now show GuardsPro. Nothing we found suggests a change of product, so treat GuardsPro as Guardso under a new name. If you saw an old Guardso price on a listing site, it no longer matches the vendor's current page.
What does GuardsPro do well?
A low entry price and flexible terms. Essential at $4.25 per user on annual billing is below our $5, the 30-day trial is twice ours, the pricing page lists no setup fee and there is no long-term contract. It also offers an Invoicer add-on for client invoices, which CGuardPro does not have. The full tier and add-on list is on our GuardsPro pricing page.

GuardsPro column: guardspro.com and guardspro.com/pricing, and the guardso.com redirect, all checked in October 2026. Prices change; confirm with the vendor. Guardso and GuardsPro are trademarks of their owner; CGuardPro is not affiliated with or endorsed by it.
When is CGuardPro the better choice?
When you need the higher GuardsPro tiers. Tours sit in Professional and scheduling is an add-on, so a firm that needs both pays $12 per user per month on GuardsPro's monthly billing, or $9.90 on annual billing. CGuardPro includes them, with geofence exit alerts, visitor and vehicle logs, panic button and client SOS, push-to-talk radio and an alarm receiver, at $5.
