Honest comparison

The Site Book vs RAMS Pro

RAMS Pro's per-seat pricing versus one flat fee for unlimited projects. Here is how the two compare.

RAMS Pro does one thing well

RAMS Pro is a straightforward RAMS tool that lets you build risk assessments and method statements using templates. It charges per seat, so each person on your team who needs access pays £15 per month. For a sole trader, that is a reasonable price for RAMS.

The difference is what happens when you need more than just RAMS. With RAMS Pro, three seats costs £45 per month for RAMS alone. The Site Book charges a flat £39 per month for unlimited projects and documents — and includes RAMS, CPP, COSHH assessments, site inductions, incident log, permits to work, site diary, worker cert tracking, toolbox talks, and everything else you need for CDM compliance. RAMS Pro does RAMS only. We do the lot for the same price or less.

When to choose RAMS Pro

RAMS Pro makes sense if RAMS documents are all you need and you work alone. Here are some situations where it fits:

  • You are a sole trader and only need RAMS — no CPP, no inductions, no COSHH.
  • You prefer a template-based approach where you fill in sections manually rather than having documents created from a job description.
  • You already have a separate process for CPP and site inductions and just need a dedicated RAMS tool.

When to choose The Site Book

The Site Book is designed for builders who need more than just RAMS and want one flat price for unlimited projects:

  • You need RAMS, CPP, site inductions, and COSHH assessments — not just one document type.
  • You do not want per-seat pricing that scales with each user — you want one flat price.
  • You want site-specific documents created from a plain English job description rather than filling in templates.
  • You want a free tier to try the full workflow before committing to a subscription.
  • You work on your phone or tablet on site and need a fully mobile-friendly platform.
  • You want unlimited projects and documents for one flat monthly price.

RAMS Pro per-seat versus flat pricing

The fundamental difference is the pricing model. RAMS Pro charges per seat, so your bill grows with each user. The Site Book charges one flat fee for unlimited projects and documents. For a sole trader the difference is small, but RAMS Pro only covers RAMS — The Site Book includes the full compliance toolkit.

Beyond pricing, The Site Book covers the full CDM compliance workflow — RAMS, CPP, site inductions, COSHH, emergency plans — while RAMS Pro focuses on RAMS alone. If you need the complete document suite, you would need additional tools alongside RAMS Pro.

Frequently asked questions

How much does RAMS Pro cost for a small team?

RAMS Pro charges £15 per seat per month. For a sole trader that is £15 per month, but for a team of three it is £45 per month — and you only get RAMS. The Site Book charges a flat £39 per month for unlimited projects and documents, and includes RAMS, CPP, site inductions, COSHH assessments, and a full audit pack.

Does RAMS Pro include CPP or site inductions?

No. RAMS Pro focuses exclusively on RAMS documents. If you also need a Construction Phase Plan, site inductions, COSHH assessments, or an emergency plan, you would need to create those separately or use another tool. The Site Book includes all of these in one subscription.

Is RAMS Pro or The Site Book better for sole traders?

For a sole trader, both are similarly priced for RAMS alone — £15 versus £39 per month. However, The Site Book includes CPP, site inductions, COSHH, and more for that £39. If you need more than just RAMS — and most builders do — The Site Book offers significantly better value. It also has a free tier so you can try before you pay.

Can I try The Site Book before paying?

Yes. The Site Book has a free tier that lets you create your first project and all its documents — including RAMS, CPP, and site inductions — without entering a credit card. You can see exactly what the platform produces before deciding whether to upgrade.
