What a guard tour system costs
Updated October 22, 2026
Accountaguard costs $0.25 per apartment unit per month, billed monthly. A 100-unit community pays $25 a month, 200 units pay $50 and 400 units pay $100. Most other guard tour software is priced per guard, per device or by quote, because it is sold to security companies.
What does Accountaguard cost by community size?
| Apartment units | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | $12.50 | $150 |
| 100 | $25 | $300 |
| 200 | $50 | $600 |
| 300 | $75 | $900 |
| 500 | $125 | $1,500 |
| 1,000 | $250 | $3,000 |
What is included?
- 20 QR checkpoint codes, renamed and pinned on a satellite map with a photo of each spot
- Scans from any number of guards and phones, with no guard app or guard login
- The dashboard: every round, missed checkpoints and flagged scans, refreshed every 15 seconds
- A printable map handout and a guard link for new guards
- The full scan history since the codes went up
- One login for the property, shared by your team
Checkout charges the monthly subscription only. The codes print on plain paper and guards use their own phones, so there is no hardware to buy.
How is other guard tour software priced?
Guard tour software sold to security companies is usually priced in one of these ways:
- Per guard or per user, each month. The bill grows with every guard on the roster, including turnover.
- Per device or per site, often in tiers.
- By quote, for enterprise platforms that bundle scheduling, payroll and incident reporting.
- With hardware, such as NFC tags, beacons or patrol wands bought up front.
Those prices pay for running a security company. Accountaguard prices by the size of the property, because the property manager is the customer and the property is what gets patrolled.
Is patrol verification worth it?
Compare it with what you pay for security. Overnight guard service at an apartment community costs thousands of dollars a month. At $50 a month for 200 units, Accountaguard shows whether that service was delivered, every night. With a patrol verification clause in the contract, a single short night reduces the security fee by $100, which pays for two months of Accountaguard at 200 units.
Questions property managers ask
Do I pay for each guard?
No. The price depends only on the number of apartment units. Any number of guards can scan, and new guards need no account.
Are there setup fees or contracts?
Checkout charges the monthly subscription only, and it renews month to month. Cancel from the dashboard at any time.
What happens to the record if I cancel?
Cancelling from the dashboard deletes the property's checkpoints, scans and photos, then takes you to Stripe to end the subscription. Keep any records you need before you cancel.
How do I pay?
By card at Stripe checkout. Enter your apartment complex name, the building address and the number of units, and your login appears right after.
