Bodyguard vs Security Guard vs Executive Protection — Cost Comparison
Different services solve different problems. Here's how they compare on cost, coverage, and use case.
| Security Guard | Personal Bodyguard | Executive Protection | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly Rate | $20–$40/hr | $60–$120/hr | $85–$300/hr |
| Coverage Model | Fixed location | Close personal protection | Multi-agent program |
| Typical Use | Property, venue, event entry | Personal escort, daily life, travel | Corporate exec, public figure, principal |
| Advance Work | No | Yes — venue sweeps | Yes — full advance program |
| Threat Assessment | No | Standard | Formal risk scoring |
| Team Size | 1+ | 1 (sometimes 2) | 2–6+ agents |
| Best For | Events, sites, property | Individual coverage | Ongoing executive programs |
Quick rule of thumb: If the threat picture involves a person (not a place), you need a bodyguard or executive protection — not a security guard. Bodyguards cover individuals; security guards cover property. Executive protection adds team coordination, advance work, and ongoing program structure for principals with elevated threat profiles or sustained exposure.
