Honest comparison of Riskora and HandsHQ for UK RAMS, risk assessment and method statement generation. Pricing, speed, training and best-fit teams.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Riskora a HandsHQ alternative?
- Yes, for the RAMS-builder portion of HandsHQ. Riskora does not replace the training-records, competence-tracking or site-induction sign-on functionality. If you only need RAMS, Riskora is a far cheaper, faster alternative. If you need the full platform, HandsHQ is the right tool.
- Can I migrate my HandsHQ documents to Riskora?
- There is no automated migration — but you can recreate any HandsHQ RAMS in Riskora in under 10 minutes per document because the builder is prompt-based rather than blank-template-based. Most users on the trial recreate one or two of their typical RAMS to compare.
- How much does HandsHQ cost compared to Riskora?
- HandsHQ pricing is on application but typically starts around £100/mo and scales with seats. Riskora is £29/mo on the Starter plan (20 documents) and £69/mo on Pro (200 documents), with Team, Business and Enterprise tiers above that.
- Does Riskora handle CDM 2015 and rail RAMS?
- Yes for general CDM 2015 work. Rail RAMS often have additional sponsor/principal contractor requirements (e.g. Network Rail templates) — Riskora generates the underlying RAMS structure but you may need to manually map the output into a Network Rail-required format if working trackside.
