A UK compliance-native alternative to SafetyCulture
SafetyCulture is a well-established global inspections platform with a large template library and a broad set of integrations. If you need inspections at scale across many countries, it is a strong, mature product and we will not pretend otherwise.
OpsCores takes a narrower aim: UK workforce operations and field compliance. That means RAMS briefing, a weekly Friday Pack, operative onboarding, and registers built for things like CSCS and LOLER, priced transparently at £16 per user with an offline-first app. If your work lives on UK sites and revolves around compliance rather than global inspection templates, that focus is the point of difference.
| OpsCores | SafetyCulture | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | UK workforce operations and field compliance | Global inspections and audits across many industries |
| RAMS briefing and sign-off | Built in, with multi-party signatures | Achievable via custom templates rather than a dedicated feature |
| Weekly evidence pack | One-tap Friday Pack PDF of the week's forms, signatures, photos and checklists | Report exports available; no UK-specific weekly pack concept |
| Operative onboarding | Add worker, ID and induction, route for approval | Not a core focus of the platform |
| Registers with expiry and assignment blocking | Expiry alerts; an expired cert means a worker cannot be rostered | Asset and issue tracking; competency blocking is not its core model |
| Template library | Focused set for UK field compliance | Large public library across many sectors, a genuine strength |
| Integrations and scale | Newer product with a narrower integration set | Broad integrations and proven large-scale deployments, a genuine strength |
| Offline-first | Yes, capture offline and sync when connected | Offline capture supported |
| Pricing | Free tier, then £16 per user (£8 founding rate), Enterprise; web-billed | Per-seat pricing, publicly positioned around roughly $24 per seat |
OpsCores is the newer challenger here, and SafetyCulture is a larger, more established platform; we are earning our place by focusing tightly on UK field compliance.
