Sites with intermittent or no coverage (basements, parking, rural, critical infrastructure)
Patrol Tech
End-to-end offline beats Silvertrac's partial offline when the device routinely loses signal during a tour.
US mid-market operator that wants phone support and a familiar workflow
Silvertrac
Decade of US-centric refinement plus phone support across plans matches that buyer profile better.
EU/UK operator with GDPR or ENS/NIS 2 documentation requirements
Patrol Tech
EU hosting and GDPR-native posture; Silvertrac's docs are US-centric and lack EU compliance signals.
Reseller or MSP that wants to rebrand the app under their own identity
Patrol Tech
White-label tier without per-site fees; Silvertrac does not publish a comparable reseller program.
Small SMB security firm that needs to start free and scale by controller
Patrol Tech
Free plan up to 10 controllers with no time limit and public Pro/Complete pricing — Silvertrac requires a sales call before any number is visible.
Operator that needs Man Down or facial verification in the field app
Neither
Neither vendor ships these natively. QR-Patrol covers Man Down; verify with vendor before signing.
