Fast RAMS is the honest cheap option when the job is only RAMS. That matters, because not every contractor needs a full compliance workspace on day one. The Site Book becomes the better value when the paperwork widens beyond one document.

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
For RAMS-only use, yes. Fast RAMS publishes an Unlimited plan at GBP9.99 per month, while The Site Book starts from GBP30 per month. The difference is scope. The Site Book includes RAMS, CPPs, COSHH assessments, site inductions, worker sign-off, permits, site diary, and subcontractor tracking. If you need those documents anyway, compare the whole pack, not just RAMS.
Choose Fast RAMS if your main problem is producing low-cost RAMS documents from a phone and you do not need a wider project compliance system. Its pricing, signatures, PDF export, duplication, and archive are attractive for simple RAMS workflows. The Site Book is stronger when the same job also needs CPPs, COSHH, induction sign-off, and audit-ready records.
Fast RAMS publicly lists CoSHH assessments with hazard pictograms, exposure routes, control measures, PPE, emergency procedures, and first aid. That is useful for substances inside a RAMS workflow. The Site Book also creates COSHH assessments, but connects them to the wider project record, RAMS, site induction, worker sign-off, and audit pack so the same data is reused.
Only if RAMS are the only documents you need. For most CDM projects, principal contractors also need a Construction Phase Plan, site inductions, emergency arrangements, records of worker sign-off, and a place to track subcontractors and certificates. Fast RAMS is focused on RAMS creation; The Site Book is built as the broader CDM compliance workspace.
