Fit

Which one is right for you?

Both are built for security companies. The right choice depends on contract complexity, who your clients are, and how you run payroll.

Choose TrackTik if you

Bill many contracts, each with its own rates and price tiers
Have enterprise clients who expect live SLA and performance reporting
Go through procurement reviews that require SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001
Want to keep the payroll system you already run: ADP, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks or Paycor
Need scheduling to block officers who lack a site-required certification

Belfry may be the better choice if you

Run a smaller guard firm and need to go live fast
Want payroll processed inside the same platform, not integrated
Prefer SMS and in-app chat for shift communication
Don’t need a client-facing portal today
