TapOkie Work vs SoloProtect

SoloProtect offers both a dedicated lone worker device and an app-based option. Their hardware model suits organisations whose workers do not carry smartphones reliably, or who need purpose-built SOS buttons on dedicated equipment. For some industries, particularly lone security staff or remote utility workers, that hardware-first approach makes sense.

For most care agencies, estate agents, and field service teams, workers already carry smartphones. Adding dedicated hardware is another item to charge, manage, and replace when it breaks or goes missing. Most managers in those settings want a system the worker uses on the phone they already have, not a second device they will leave in the van.

TapOkie Work is app-only by design. That makes the worker experience simpler, removes hardware costs, and means you can onboard a new worker in minutes rather than waiting for equipment to ship. The trade-off is that you lose the always-available physical SOS button. For most visit-based work, a phone-based SOS with location capture at the time of press is sufficient.

SoloProtect's pricing is typically quote-based and not published on their website. TapOkie Work publishes its pricing from $5 per worker, so you can compare costs without a sales conversation first.

SoloProtect may suit organisations that want dedicated devices, alarm-receiving centre packages, or an established enterprise sales relationship.
