Haspod has been running a 20,000+ user template library for years - it's a serious product for builders who want to browse, download, and hand-edit their own compliance documents. The Site Book takes the opposite bet: instead of a library you customize every time, a plain-English brief becomes a site-specific RAMS, CPP, COSHH assessment, and induction pack in minutes. Both tools work. They just optimise for different mental models - and different cash-flow tolerances, because haspod's annual-upfront commitment is a heavy lift for a sole trader testing the product.
At-a-glance fit per product - pulled from the same data that drives the snapshot table.
Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.
Choose The Site Book if you want complete end-to-end CDM coverage - RAMS, CPP, COSHH, site inductions, toolbox talks, and worker tracking - in one SME-priced subscription billed monthly or yearly. The AI gets it right first time from a plain-English brief, and the flat rate is miles cheaper than stacking haspod's separate Documents + Training + Talks annual subscriptions.
Recommended for: You want end-to-end CDM coverage in one bill
Choose Haspod if you prefer browsing a 790+ template library and hand-customizing RAMS and method statements yourself, are happy to commit to annual upfront billing, and want to add training courses and toolbox talks as separate subscriptions rather than one bundled plan.
Recommended for: You prefer a template library and annual billing

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
Haspod charges annually upfront with no monthly option - the Documents Plan is seven hundred and ninety nine pounds a year, the Pro bundle is nine hundred and ninety seven pounds. The Site Book starts at thirty pounds a month, can be paid monthly or yearly, and the first project is free. For a sole trader testing a compliance tool, the monthly path removes a twelve month commitment and cuts the upfront risk to under fifty pounds.
Yes. Haspod's Documents Plan is a seven hundred and ninety plus template library that covers RAMS, method statements, COSHH, CDM forms, and more. You browse the catalog and customise a template for your site by hand each time. The Site Book works the other way round - you write a short brief about the job, and the AI generates a site specific RAMS in minutes. Both approaches deliver compliant documents; pick based on how much time you have per job.
Haspod splits the CDM suite across three annual plans. Documents covers RAMS and method statements. Training covers inductions and courses. Talks covers toolbox content. You either stack all three (around fourteen hundred pounds a year) or take the Pro bundle for nine hundred and ninety seven. The Site Book ships the whole CDM suite in one subscription from thirty pounds a month, with worker sign off and certificate tracking built in.
Yes. The Site Book has a free tier so you can create your first project and generate real documents before your Haspod renewal comes up. Most teams run both in parallel for a few weeks, then drop Haspod at the annual renewal point rather than losing the pro-rated balance. Existing Haspod templates can be pasted into a Site Book brief as context, and the AI uses them as extra signal when drafting your first site specific RAMS.
Haspod also sells a one off one hundred and ninety five pound Principal Contractor Pack - a seventeen document bundle separate from the membership subscriptions. It is a template pack, not a software subscription, and does not include RAMS, method statements, or worker sign off. It is a different product category and is not part of this comparison; we focus on the membership plans because that is the closest match to The Site Book's subscription model.
