Why operators look for a Silvertrac alternative
Silvertrac is an established guard management platform, well known for reporting and guard tours. Operators still shop for alternatives, and the reasons are usually the same few:
- Pricing transparency. Like most vendors in this category, Silvertrac's pricing isn't published — you request a quote. Some operators simply want a number they can plan around without a sales call.
- Everything in one tier. Buyers increasingly want every feature — GPS, reporting, checkpoints, the client portal — included from the first guard, rather than split across plans.
- No long contract. Month-to-month flexibility beats a locked annual commitment for a growing company.
- A modern guard app. The experience on the guard's phone matters — a clumsy app means guards work around it, and your records suffer.
None of these means Silvertrac is wrong for you. They're just the questions worth asking before you renew or switch.
How to compare, honestly
The trap in this category is comparing feature lists instead of feature fit. A 40-item list means nothing if the six things you use every day aren't in the plan you'll actually buy. Compare on:
- The features you rely on, at the tier you'll pay for — GPS tracking, checkpoint scanning, automated DARs, incident reporting, client portal, guard app.
- The real price, per user, including any minimum — not the "starting at" figure.
- The contract term — month-to-month or annual lock-in.
- Migration — will they import your properties, guards, clients and routes for you, or is that your weekend?
Where Safetrac fits
Safetrac is a guard management platform built around proof of presence, and it's a common switch target for Silvertrac users for three concrete reasons:
- Public pricing. $200/month covers your first 10 users, then $8 per additional user — no annual contract, 30-day free trial. You can compare it against your Silvertrac quote without talking to anyone.
- Every feature from the first guard. Real-time GPS tracking, QR and geofenced checkpoint scanning, automated Daily Activity Reports, instant incident alerts, the client portal and the mobile app are all included. Nothing core is held back for a higher tier.
- Free migration from Silvertrac. We import your properties, guards, clients, routes and settings, with a specialist assigned — usually live inside 24 hours.
What it doesn't do is claim to be everything. If you need deep enterprise workforce-management modules, evaluate that carefully in a trial. For most small-to-mid guard operations that want tracking, checkpoints, reporting and incidents done well at a transparent price, it's a strong fit.

Final thoughts
The best Silvertrac alternative is whichever platform covers what you actually use, at a price you can see, without a contract you'll regret. Make your shortlist on feature fit and pricing transparency, then trial the finalists on a real site before you switch.
