Guardlantern
Founding pilot · NYC, North Jersey, Westchester, Long Island
Run your guard company at our cost. For good.
We're inviting a few security guard companies to be Guardlantern's founding pilots. You get the full Pro plan, AI report writing included, and pay only what it costs us to run: about 10 cents per officer a month. No subscription, no contract, no profit for us.

Your officers
Clock in with GPS, walk checkpoint rounds and write reports from their phones, in English or Spanish.
Your clients
See their daily reports, incidents, rounds and visitors in their own portal.

Questions
Is the pilot price really for good?
Yes. Once your company is a founding pilot, it is set on your account permanently. Nothing in the app can switch it off, even if prices change for everyone else later.
How much will we actually pay?
Only our costs: about $0.10 per active officer a month for hosting and storage, plus the AI provider's price for the reports Guardlantern drafts (about half a cent per incident report). A 15-officer company usually comes to $2 to $4 a month. Until billing is set up, nothing is charged at all.
Why would you do this at no profit?
Founding companies shape the product for every guard company that comes after, and a real company's word carries more weight than any ad. We make sure we never lose money: you cover our real costs, nothing more.
Do our officers need a special phone?
No. The officer app runs in the browser on any recent iPhone or Android phone and can be added to the home screen. Officers clock in, scan checkpoints and write reports from it, in English or Spanish.
Who owns our records?
You do. Your incident reports, timesheets and client reports belong to your company. We back them up every night, and if you leave we give you a copy and delete them on request.
Can we leave?
Anytime. There is no contract.
