| Best for | Small-to-mid UK builders (1–50 users) who need a full CDM pack -RAMS, CPP, COSHH, site inductions, toolbox talks -without paying enterprise per-seat prices. | UK contractors who want AI RAMS on a low monthly tier, with COSHH, inductions, inspections, toolbox talks, and other modules from Pro upward. |
| Not ideal for | New product (launched 2025) -smaller customer base and shorter track record than established tools like HandsHQ. | Document and back-office user limits apply on the lower tiers, so growing teams need to watch usage and plan fit. |

RAMS Pro has moved on from the narrow per-seat template-library picture: the public product bundle now shows a freemium ladder, AI RAMS positioning, and a Pro tier with COSHH, toolbox talks, inspections, inductions, accident records, training matrix, asset register, site snagging, and environmental assessments. That makes it a much more serious competitor. The Site Book still wins when the job needs one project-centred CDM workflow, not a RAMS quota plus a set of tiered modules.

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
RAMS Pro's public app bundle lists four monthly tiers: Free with two RAMS, Basic at GBP15 for twenty RAMS, Pro at GBP25 for seventy-five RAMS, and Enterprise at GBP45 for unlimited RAMS. That is cheaper at face value than many compliance platforms. The comparison turns on workflow breadth, usage limits, and which modules you need on the tier you actually buy.
Yes, on the Pro and Enterprise tiers according to the current public feature list. RAMS Pro lists nine add-on modules there, including COSHH assessments, site inductions, site inspections, toolbox talks, accident records, training matrix, asset register, site snagging, and environmental risk assessments. Basic is narrower, so check the tier carefully before assuming those site modules are included.
The Site Book is organised around the whole project pack: RAMS, CPPs, COSHH, emergency plans, site inductions, worker phone sign-off, certificate tracking, permits, site diary, and toolbox talks together. RAMS Pro has become broader than a simple RAMS editor, especially at Pro, but some items are tier-gated or less clearly published. The Site Book is built to keep one audit trail across the job.
For RAMS volume alone, RAMS Pro can be cheaper: Basic is GBP15 per month and Pro is GBP25 per month. The Site Book starts from GBP30 per month, but includes the full CDM workflow and worker sign-off from the project record. If you only need capped RAMS output, RAMS Pro deserves a look; if you need the whole compliance pack, compare the workflow, not just the headline price.
Yes. Keep completed RAMS Pro documents in your job file, then start the next project in The Site Book and upload any existing PCPP or project information you want reused. The ongoing workflow moves into a plain-English brief and project record, so RAMS, CPPs, COSHH, inductions, worker sign-off, and site records are kept together instead of managed across exports and separate folders.
