Start today, free for 30 days

Sign up yourself, add checkpoints and invite your team. The trial needs no card and nothing is charged automatically.

Every feature on every plan

Patrols, schedules, guard sign-off, Smart Forms, incidents, scheduled reports and lone-worker SOS are included on every plan.

Not just for guarding firms

Hotels, residential blocks and facilities teams use the same app for night rounds, fire-door checks, cleaning inspections and fridge temperature readings.

Live status on the wall

The optional Compliance Beacon shows red/amber/green patrol status on site, so the team on duty sees when a round falls behind.

Proven on real hotel patrols

FJB Hotels has logged 85,000+ checkpoint scans across 3 hotels on CheckTasks since November 2025.

How pricing works

GuardTek doesn’t publish prices; its product pages invite you to book a demo, and Trackforce offers implementation packages from QuickStart to Advanced.

CheckTasks prices are published: Basic £15/month (3 sites, 100 checkpoints, 3 staff logins), Standard £45/month (10 sites, 500 checkpoints, 10 staff logins) and Premium £75/month (unlimited sites, 1,000 checkpoints, 20 staff logins), all + VAT.

We can’t show a like-for-like price because GuardTek’s pricing isn’t published. CheckTasks prices exclude VAT.

Where Trackforce GuardTek may suit you better

We’d rather you pick the right tool. Trackforce GuardTek could be the better fit if:

  • You run a security operations centre and need a live command centre with GPS tracking, heat maps and movement playback.
  • Your officers need advanced lone-worker protection — automatic fall and no-motion detection, live video and push-to-talk. CheckTasks offers an SOS alert by email only.
  • Your clients expect a view-only client portal.
  • You need visitor management, key tracking, parking enforcement or open APIs.
  • Your officers use iPhones — CheckTasks is Android-only for now, with iPhone coming soon.

Frequently asked questions

Is CheckTasks a good Trackforce GuardTek alternative?

For teams that need clear proof of patrols and checks without a command-centre setup — in-house security, hotels, residential blocks and facilities — yes, with published GBP pricing and a free trial. Guarding companies running a GSOC with advanced lone-worker safety will find GuardTek more complete.

Is GuardTek available in the UK?

Trackforce describes GuardTek as an EMEA product, with Trackforce European offices in Wrocław and Paris and GuardTek EMEA support from 9:00 to 17:00 CET (Trackforce website, October 2026).

Does CheckTasks have man-down or fall detection?

No. CheckTasks lone-worker safety is an SOS alert sent by email to your own people. It is self-monitored, with no man-down, no welfare timer and no alarm-receiving centre. If you need those, use a dedicated lone-worker service.

How is CheckTasks priced?

Basic £15, Standard £45 and Premium £75 per month + VAT, sized by sites, checkpoints and staff logins, with every feature on every plan. Enterprise pricing is available for larger operations.
