RAMS Pro has moved on from the narrow 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. The Site Book still wins when the job needs one project-centred CDM workflow, not a RAMS quota plus a set of tiered modules. The Site Book pricing is Starter £0, Pro £39/mo or £360/yr, and Business £199/mo; the optional £249 setup service is a one-off for one job, not a subscription.

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 is broader than a simple RAMS editor, especially at Pro, but some items are tier-gated. The practical difference is one joined-up CDM job record rather than a RAMS-led account.
For RAMS volume alone, RAMS Pro can be cheaper: Basic is GBP15 per month and Pro is GBP25 per month. The Site Book pricing is Starter £0, Pro £39/mo or £360/yr, and Business £199/mo. Compare the total workflow, not only the RAMS price, because The Site Book includes CPPs, COSHH, inductions, toolbox talks, and worker sign-off.
No. The optional setup service is a £249 one-off service, not a subscription. It covers The Site Book paperwork for one job, so the team sets up the first company, job, and core CDM paperwork for you to review before use. Ongoing software access is separate: Starter £0, Pro £39/mo or £360/yr, and Business £199/mo.
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 workflow moves into a plain-English brief and project record, so RAMS, CPPs, COSHH, inductions, worker sign-off, toolbox talks, and site records are kept together instead of managed across exports.
