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
swiftRMS is one of the more credible AI-first RAMS competitors: it covers more than a basic template library and brings useful extras like CPPs, video hazard analysis, and Word export. The question is not whether it can write safety documents - it can. The question is whether your site compliance lives in those documents alone, or whether you also need F10 checks, inductions, sign-off, certificates, site attendance, file access, portal users, subcontractor evidence records, inspections/actions and an audit pack in the same system.

The bottom line
Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.
Choose The Site Book if…
Choose The Site Book if the job needs RAMS, CPP, COSHH, inductions, worker sign-off, certificate tracking, site attendance, site files, portal users, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions in one place. Starter is GBP0, Pro is GBP39/mo or GBP360/yr, Business is GBP199/mo, and optional setup is GBP249 one-off.
Recommended for: Small builders needing the full CDM pack and worker sign-off
Choose swiftRMS if…
Choose swiftRMS if your priority is a dedicated AI safety-document workflow with RAMS, CPP, COSHH, safe systems of work, toolbox talks, Word export, and video hazard analysis. It is better suited to teams already covering inductions, F10 checks, site diaries, and worker records elsewhere.
Recommended for: Teams focused on AI RAMS, COSHH, SSOW, and toolbox talks

✓Optional GBP249 setup is a one-off service for The Site Book paperwork on one job, not an extra subscription.

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.

Video hazard analysis and AI refinement are useful for teams that capture site conditions visually.
Weaknesses
Higher starting price than The Site Book for small builders who need the full CDM pack.

Permits and incident reporting sit on the higher Business tier, not the entry Pro plan.
Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
What is swiftRMS best at?
swiftRMS is best for teams that create a lot of safety documents and want AI help with RAMS, CPP, COSHH, SSOW, manual handling, HAVS, and toolbox talks. Its public pricing also highlights video hazard analysis, Word and PDF export, and higher-tier workflows for permits and incident reporting. It is more focused on document creation than the whole CDM site pack.
How much does swiftRMS cost compared with The Site Book?
swiftRMS publishes Pro at GBP49 per month, Business at GBP149 per month, and Enterprise at GBP249 per month. The Site Book Starter is GBP0 for the first project, Pro is GBP39 per month or GBP360 per year, and Business is GBP199 per month. The optional GBP249 setup service covers The Site Book paperwork for one job and is not a subscription.
Does swiftRMS replace a full CDM compliance system?
Not by itself, based on the public feature set reviewed. swiftRMS covers several important document types, including RAMS, CPP, COSHH, SSOW, and toolbox talks, and higher tiers add permits and incident reporting. The public pricing page does not list site inductions, worker certificate tracking, an F10 workflow, site attendance, site files, portal users or Business evidence workflows, which are core parts of The Site Book workflow.
When should I choose The Site Book instead?
Choose The Site Book when you want the project pack and site trail, not just a safety-document generator. The Site Book creates RAMS, CPPs, COSHH assessments, emergency plans, and inductions, then lets workers sign from their phone. Business also keeps site attendance, portal users, site files, important updates, subcontractor evidence records, inspections, corrective actions, certificates, permits, and toolbox talks together as the job runs.
Can I switch from swiftRMS to The Site Book?
Yes. The simplest route is to finish any live swiftRMS documents, then create the next project in The Site Book and upload any existing PCPP or project information you want reused. The day-to-day workflow moves into a plain-English project brief, with documents, sign-off, and worker records managed together instead of split across separate exports and site folders.
