For a RAMS, CPP and toolbox-talks bundle, The Site Book is the cheapest citable option in this comparison: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month, and optional setup is £249 one-off for one job, not a subscription. Haspod Pro is the nearest annual-upfront bundle at £997/year; RAMS-only tools are not full bundles.
This is a bundle-price comparison, not a feature bake-off - ranked by the monthly-equivalent cost of buying RAMS plus CPP plus toolbox talks as a single line item. The Site Book wins outright at £360 a year, equivalent to £30 a month, or £39 on monthly billing. Haspod Pro Plan comes second at about £83 a month equivalent (£997 a year, annual upfront) and genuinely bundles Documents, Training, and Talks. HandsHQ publishes RAMS pricing, but the bundle fit depends on annual plans and team needs. Evalu-8 is modular EHS with a published GBP295/month RAMS module (bundling risk assessments and COSHH) on top of core EHS, only worth it if you need its wider EHS platform beyond the three-item bundle.
HandsHQ pricing and plan-scope wording was refreshed from current first-party pages on 2026-07-21; other bundle prices and maths retain their 2026-05-29 source basis.

Reading this table: a tick means supported, a dash means partly supported, and a cross means we checked and it is not supported. An em dash (—) means we have not verified that capability for that product either way — treat it as unknown, not as a missing feature, and check with the vendor.
Why this matters
Most compare pages rank on features. This one ranks on the bill. If you already know you want RAMS plus CPP plus toolbox talks as a single bundle, the right question is what the monthly-equivalent cost actually looks like - not which tool has the longest feature list. HandsHQ publishes RAMS prices, but its CPP availability and toolbox-talk fit vary by plan, so the bundle cannot be reduced to one comparable headline figure. The remaining entries have clearer three-item bundle maths.

The bottom line
Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.
Choose The Site Book if…
If you want to pay monthly and keep the option to cancel, The Site Book at £39 a month is the clearest full CDM bundle for small builders. That one bill covers RAMS, CPP, COSHH, site inductions, and toolbox talks - no separate line items, no annual lock-in. The annual Pro option is £360 a year, equivalent to £30 a month.
Recommended for: Monthly flexibility - cancel-any-time, no annual commitment
Choose Haspod if…
If you're willing to pay for twelve months upfront, Haspod Pro Plan at £997 a year (roughly £83 a month equivalent) is the second-cheapest genuine bundle. It combines Documents, Training, and Talks - the three-item bundle most RAMS buyers actually want. The catch is the annual cheque up front and a template-browsing workflow rather than AI-generated site-specific documents.
Recommended for: Annual upfront - happy to pay a year in advance for a lower effective rate
Why switch to The Site Book
✓Cheapest genuine bundle on the UK market at Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, and Business £199/month - no separate bills for RAMS, CPP, and talks.
✓Monthly billing with no annual lock-in - pay only while you need the tool instead of pre-paying £997 like Haspod Pro.
✓All three bundle items in one login - no stitching two or three subscriptions together from different vendors.
✓Free first project to test the wider CDM output before buying a plan or paying a year upfront.
✓Predictable flat rate - unlike per-seat enterprise contracts where the bundle price balloons as you add casual labour.

Sweet spot
A builder-run principal contractor on a domestic or commercial project who needs ready-to-sign CDM documents, worker sign-off, a live people-on-site view, practical site files, subcontractor evidence records and lightweight inspections/actions - without a dedicated H&S department to run them.
Strengths
UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages on Business, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off, including optional 4-digit shared-link PIN evidence on Business, plus site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
Generate a site-specific RAMS first draft from a natural-language brief in under five minutes, ready for competent-person review - not a template library you hand-fill.
Controlled document workflow without an enterprise contract: version history and a recorded issue confirmation before a document is shared with a client or downloaded in the app on every plan, re-sign on revision with superseded signatures preserved plus PCPP import, cert tracking and document checking from the £39/month Pro plan - and on Business, optional named-approver routing (a designated approver accepts or rejects each version, with recorded reasons, before it can be issued) plus client approve/reject/request-changes via share links.
Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; project workers count as active portal users while assigned.
Build RAMS for any trade - add your own work types and method statements alongside the built-in library, reusable across projects, including a ready-made Commercial Solar PV group. Save a finished job as a reusable project template, or clone it, so the next job of the same shape starts from your own setup.
COSHH goes deep: a standalone COSHH assessment document, upload-a-Safety-Data-Sheet extraction, a site-specific substance register and an expert-reviewed library - plus per-worker RAMS sign-off and a one-click Audit Pack covering documents, sign-offs, worker evidence, attendance, incidents, COSHH, permits and up to the latest 500 live Site Diary entries.
Weaknesses
New product (launched 2026) -smaller customer base and shorter track record than established tools like HandsHQ.
Procore integration is in final testing rather than publicly launched -until it ships, compliance docs export as PDFs rather than syncing into Procore. A public REST API and signed webhooks are live on the Site Control tier; Autodesk Construction Cloud is not integrated.
Site files are a practical portal for drawings, plans and procedures, not formal drawing revision control.
UK-focused content (CDM 2015, HSE guidance) -international contractors on non-UK projects would need to adapt the output.

Sweet spot
SME builders and sole traders who want a template library they can browse, download, and hand-edit -not an AI document generator -and who are willing to commit to 12-month upfront billing.
Strengths
Mature 20,000+ user membership with an 810+ template library covering RAMS, method statements, CDM templates, COSHH, and forms -the broadest out-of-the-box template catalogue in UK CDM compliance.
Pro Plan bundles Documents + Training + Talks for £997/yr with a ~28% bundle discount -cheaper than buying all three as separate annual subscriptions.
SME-friendly pricing tiers mean a sole trader can start on the Talks Plan (£99/yr) for toolbox content and scale to Documents (£799/yr) as volume grows.
Each membership plan includes 10 users before extra-user pricing applies.
Weaknesses
Annual-only billing with no monthly option and no automatic renewal -every plan requires a £799+VAT upfront commitment for 12 months, which is a heavy lift for sole traders testing the product.
Documents, Training, and Talks are separate subscriptions unless you step up to the £997/yr Pro Plan -costs stack fast if you want the full CDM suite and toolbox content together.
Extra users add annual cost: Documents and Training list £30+VAT/year each, Talks lists £15+VAT/year, and Pro lists £45+VAT/year.
No AI document generation -every template must be hand-customized for each site, which keeps RAMS production slow compared with AI-assisted generators.
No worker certificate tracking, incident log, permit system, or site diary -the library covers documents but not the ongoing site-operations layer.
Individuals who want a template-led RAMS subscription and organisations with a dedicated health and safety function that need formal RAMS governance, approvals and integrations.
Team size
One-person RAMS accounts through to enterprise teams
Sweet spot
A buyer who values a large curated RAMS and COSHH library, with published individual allowances or team workflows organised by user band.
Strengths
Established compliance platform with published customer case studies across UK high-risk work.
Now part of HSI, with HSI's acquisition announcement citing more than 2,000 client organisations.
Curated RAMS library plus a COSHH library advertised at more than 15,000 substances.
Published individual pricing offers direct signup; team tiers publish user bands and prices before a sales conversation.
Digital RAMS signatures, approvals, review history and integrations suit dedicated H&S teams producing documents regularly.
Weaknesses
Pricing starts at £44/mo for Basic with 1 RAMS; Advanced is £99/mo for 3 RAMS, Pro is £190/mo for 6 RAMS, and Small Team starts from £275/mo billed annually plus setup.
HSI ownership may be a positive for enterprise buyers, but small UK builders may prefer a UK-SME-first product roadmap.
The public RAMS and Training Register feature sets do not list a built-in incident log, permits-to-work, site diary, attendance workflow or general site portal.
Individual RAMS plans offer direct signup, while team plans are billed annually plus a setup fee and higher-capability packages remain sales-assisted.
Large contractors and enterprise teams with 50+ people who need a broad EHS platform covering compliance, training, audits, and incident management.
Team size
50+
Sweet spot
An organisation that needs EHS across multiple business units and is willing to build a quoted package around core EHS plus RAMS, COSHH, audits, and other modules.
Strengths
Broad EHS platform covering compliance, training, audits, and incident management in one tool.
Suitable for large contractors and enterprise teams that need multi-module EHS across business units.
Includes site inductions, worker cert tracking, and toolbox talks -bigger functional spread than RAMS-only tools.
Weaknesses
The RAMS module is GBP295/mo on top of core EHS (GBP2.50/licence/mo, 10-user minimum) -heavy for a sole trader who only needs RAMS, and most other add-on modules are still quote-only on the pricing page.
Requires demo, onboarding, and configuration -slow to get running compared to self-serve tools.
Desktop-focused enterprise UI is not optimised for builders working from a phone on site.
Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
How much should I expect to pay for a RAMS + CPP + toolbox-talks bundle in the UK?
Genuine bundles start at £360 a year with The Site Book, equivalent to £30 a month, or £39 if you pay monthly. Haspod's Pro Plan at around £997 a year works out at roughly £83 a month equivalent. Evalu-8 is modular EHS - its RAMS module is a published GBP295 a month on top of core EHS. Anything below that annual-equivalent price is almost certainly a RAMS-only tool rather than a real three-item bundle.
Can I buy CPP software separately from RAMS?
Yes, but it rarely works out cheaper once you add toolbox talks and site inductions on top. Tools like CDM Wizard and Pcpp generators sell CPP in isolation, and template packs offer standalone RAMS. Once you stitch three separate products together, the total bill usually beats a single bundle. Bundle pricing exists because the overlap between RAMS, CPP, and talks is large enough that vendors can sell them together profitably.
What's included in a full CDM bundle?
A full CDM 2015 bundle should ship RAMS and method statements, a construction phase plan, COSHH assessments, site induction records, and toolbox talks - plus the audit trail that proves workers signed them. The Site Book bundles all of those at £39 a month or £360 a year. Haspod Pro bundles Documents, Training, and Talks. Evalu-8 covers the same ground inside a wider EHS platform, with a published GBP295/month RAMS module on top of core EHS.
Is annual or monthly billing cheaper for compliance software?
Annual billing usually looks cheaper on paper but ties your cash up for twelve months. Haspod Pro at £997 a year beats its effective per-month rate only if you use it for the whole year. The Site Book Pro is £39 monthly, or £360 annually, which is £30/month equivalent. If cancel-any-time matters, monthly is cheaper in practice because you pay only while you need the tool.
Is The Site Book setup service part of the bundle price?
No. The setup service is optional and separate from software pricing. It is a £249 one-off, not a subscription, and covers The Site Book paperwork for one job so the first pack is prepared for review. Ongoing access stays on the software plan: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, or Business £199/month.
