Why Teams Choose Riskora
Riskora isn't trying to be an enterprise EHS platform, an inspection app, or a template library. It's a focused, governance-grade RAMS system that delivers what each of those tools is missing for the documentation workflow. Vs HASpod and other template libraries: Riskora replaces 30-60 minutes of Word editing with a 5-minute guided builder, then adds the version control, role-based access, audit trail and document QA engine that templates fundamentally cannot give you. Vs SafetyCulture and inspection platforms: Riskora is purpose-built for the RAMS document SafetyCulture cannot produce, with the same governance you'd expect — RBAC, SSO, audit-ready download packs, compliance calendar — at a flat £29/mo rather than per-user pricing that scales with your team. Vs EcoOnline and enterprise EHS suites: Riskora delivers the same governance features for the RAMS workflow specifically — and is live the day you sign up, not after a months-long implementation. From £29/mo, with no procurement cycle, no annual contract, no per-seat ramp. That focus is deliberate. Every part of Riskora is optimised for the contractor or site manager who actually needs the document on site — fast, governed, and ready for audit.
All documents should be reviewed by a competent person before use on site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Riskora better than HASpod?
They serve different needs. HASpod provides templates and training — you download and edit documents manually. Riskora generates structured documents automatically from your project inputs. If you want speed and consistency, Riskora is faster. If you want a template library with training content, HASpod has that.

Is Riskora cheaper than EcoOnline?
Significantly. EcoOnline is an enterprise platform with custom pricing typically in the hundreds per month. Riskora starts at £29/mo with a free account. For teams focused on RAMS generation, the cost difference is substantial.
