Simple, Transparent Pricing: Why TacDesk Publishes What It Charges

If you’ve ever tried to get a straight answer out of a security workforce management platform about what it actually costs, you’ll know the drill. A vague “request a demo” button. A sales call. A quote that arrives three days later with more asterisks than a redacted government document.

That’s not how we think pricing should work. Today, we’re making it official: TacDesk now has fully transparent, fixed pricing — published on the website, locked for the life of your subscription, with no setup fees and no contracts.

You can see the full pricing page here.

What Does Transparent Pricing Actually Mean?

It means you can see exactly what you’ll pay before you ever speak to us. No demos required. No sales calls to unlock the numbers. No “pricing available on request.”

Here’s how it breaks down:

Plan	Price	Guards Included	Best For
TacStarter	£149/month	Up to 20	Growing security companies getting off spreadsheets
TacPro	£399/month	Up to 40	Established operations needing fleet and kit management
TacCommand	£799/month	Up to 100	Full-scale operations with dispatcher, NFC patrols, and Xero integration

Additional guards beyond your plan limit cost £7/guard/month. That’s it. No hidden fees, no per-module charges, no surprise invoices.

Pay upfront and save more: 10% off for 6 months, 15% for 12 months, 25% for 24 months.

Why We’re Cheaper — and Why That’s Not Going to Change

We built TacDesk specifically for UK security companies. Not as a feature add-on to a generic workforce platform, not as an enterprise product retrofitted downwards. That means we don’t carry the overhead of a global sales team, a professional services department, or a six-figure implementation process.

The result is a platform that does more of what you actually need — GPS clock-in, SIA licence tracking, incident reports, patrol verification, dispatcher mode, client portal — at a fraction of what legacy platforms charge.

We’ve also made a commitment: your price is locked for the life of your subscription. If we raise prices for new customers, yours stays the same. No annual “uplift” emails. No renegotiations.

How We Compare to the Competition

We’ve done the research so you don’t have to. Here’s an honest look at how TacDesk pricing stacks up against the major alternatives:

Platform	Typical Pricing	Setup Fees	Contract Required	Transparent Pricing
TacDesk	From £149/month	None	No	Published online
TrackTik	£10–£15/guard/month	£5,000–£20,000	Yes (annual+)	Quote only
Timegate	Quote-based	Unknown	Yes	Quote only
Trackforce	Quote-based	Unknown	Yes	Quote only
GuardTek	Quote-based	Unknown	Yes	Quote only
Deputy	Per-user monthly	None	No	Published online
RotaCloud	Per-user monthly	None	No	Published online

For a company running 50 guards, TrackTik alone could cost £500–£750/month plus up to £20,000 in setup fees before you’ve clocked a single shift. TacDesk TacCommand covers up to 100 guards for £799/month with zero setup cost and no contract.

Head-to-Head Comparisons

We’ve put together detailed comparison pages if you want to dig into the specifics:

• TacDesk vs TrackTik — enterprise pricing vs. what you actually need
• TacDesk vs Timegate — UK-built alternative with published pricing
• TacDesk vs Trackforce — flexibility vs. long-term lock-in
• TacDesk vs Trackforce Valiant
• TacDesk vs GuardTek
• TacDesk vs Guardhouse
• TacDesk vs Deputy
• TacDesk vs RotaCloud
• TacDesk vs Arez.io

No Tricks. No Traps. Just Software That Works.

We know that switching platforms is a big decision. That’s why we want you to be able to make that decision with full information — not after three calls with a sales team whose job is to anchor you high.

If you’re currently paying for a platform that costs more than £799/month for under 100 guards, you’re probably overpaying. And if you’re still running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp, the cost of staying there — in admin hours, compliance risk, and missed contracts — is higher than you think.
