TrackTik vs Belfry
and where CGuardPro sits next to them

What is TrackTik good at?

Breadth and reach. Trackforce lists guard tours, mobile patrol, incident reporting, dispatch, lone-worker safety, scheduling, payroll and ACA reporting, contract and billing management, business intelligence and an AI report-writing tool called ReportPro AI, and says the platform runs in 55 languages across more than 50 countries. Its pricing page lets you start with tours and reporting and add billing, payroll, BI or visitor management later. For a multi-country operation, or a buyer whose procurement team wants a scoped quote and a negotiated contract, that is a real strength.

The pricing unit is worth noticing. Trackforce says it prices "by sites, not seats", with "never a per-seat penalty for growing". If you run large posts with many officers each, that unit can work in your favor.

What is Belfry good at?

The back office. Belfry's five modules, Scheduling, Timekeeping, Operations, Payroll & HR and Billing, are designed to carry an hour from the schedule all the way to a paycheck and an invoice, inside one US-focused product. Its operations page covers checkpoint tours with NFC tags and geofences, post orders that officers confirm at clock-in, and a client portal with a live "shift drilldown". The company raised a $12 million Series A in January 2025, and it publishes named customer stories you can check.

It bills per active employee, so seasonal or inactive staff do not count against you, according to its plans page.

Why is CGuardPro in the third column?

Because many buyers comparing these two are really choosing between "a big modular suite" and "a back office with payroll", and a third shape is missing from that choice: a platform built around proving the post was covered, with a price you can calculate yourself. CGuardPro is $5 per user per month for every login, all features in one plan, plus a one-time $299.99 implementation fee. You can run it for 7 days on a real site first.

What it does differently is at the post: clock-in needs a live GPS fix and a selfie; each post can have its own geofence, a radius or a drawn polygon, with an alert when the officer leaves it; checkpoints are QR codes or NFC tags, and every scan is checked against server time and position, with an optional photo or note. It also carries an alarm receiver that accepts Contact ID, SIA DC-09 and Surgard signals, and push-to-talk radio in the guard app.

What it does not do is equally clear. CGuardPro does not run payroll and does not invoice your clients. For US companies it sends approved hours to Gusto, free, as time sheets classified as regular, overtime and double overtime under the federal weekly rule and California's daily rules. If you want payroll and client billing inside your guard software, Belfry or TrackTik is the closer fit and you should weigh that honestly.

Which one should you choose?

• Choose TrackTik if you need many modules, many countries or many languages, and you are comfortable with a scoped, site-based quote.
• Choose Belfry if payroll, benefits and invoicing are where your office loses its week, and you operate only in the US.
• Choose CGuardPro if your clients question coverage and patrols, you want the price before the call, and you want to test on a live post for 7 days.
