Honest comparison

The Site Book vs RapidRAMS

Pay per document or get unlimited documents for a flat monthly fee. Here is how the maths works out.

RapidRAMS keeps it simple

RapidRAMS takes a no-subscription approach: you pay £15 each time you need a RAMS document. There is no monthly commitment, no account to manage, and no features you do not use. If you only need a RAMS document once in a while, that simplicity has genuine appeal.

The trade-off is that costs add up fast once you are doing regular work. At 3 jobs a month, RapidRAMS costs £45. The Site Book is £39 for unlimited jobs PLUS CPP, COSHH assessments, incident log, permits to work, site diary, worker cert tracking, and project management. If you are doing steady work, a subscription model is almost always cheaper — and you get ten times more for your money.

When to choose RapidRAMS

RapidRAMS works well for very occasional use. Here is when it makes sense:

  • You only need a RAMS document a few times a year — not every month.
  • You do not want a subscription and prefer to pay only when you need something.
  • You only need RAMS — no CPP, no inductions, no COSHH assessments.

When to choose The Site Book

The Site Book makes more sense the moment you are doing regular work:

  • You do two or more jobs per month — at which point The Site Book is already cheaper than RapidRAMS for RAMS alone.
  • You need CPP, site inductions, COSHH assessments, and emergency plans alongside your RAMS — all included at no extra cost.
  • 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 want one place for all your compliance documents rather than paying per document from different providers.

The break-even point

At one RAMS document per month, RapidRAMS costs £15 and The Site Book costs £39. But The Site Book includes CPP, inductions, and COSHH for that £39 — documents you would need to source separately with RapidRAMS.

At two documents per month, RapidRAMS costs £30 for RAMS alone while The Site Book is still £39 for everything. By four documents you are paying £60 versus £39. The more work you do, the bigger the gap.

Frequently asked questions

How much does RapidRAMS cost compared to The Site Book?

RapidRAMS charges £15 per document with no subscription. If you create two RAMS documents per month, that is £30 — already more than The Site Book's £39 per month for unlimited documents. At four documents per month you are paying £60 for RAMS alone, while The Site Book still costs £39 and includes CPP, inductions, COSHH, and more.

Does RapidRAMS include CPP or site inductions?

No. RapidRAMS focuses exclusively on RAMS documents sold individually. 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 flat-rate subscription.

Is RapidRAMS better if I only do one job a month?

If you genuinely only need one RAMS document per month and nothing else, RapidRAMS costs £15 versus The Site Book at £39. However, most jobs require more than just RAMS — you typically need a CPP, site induction, and COSHH assessments too. The Site Book includes all of these, so even at one job per month it often works out as better value for the full compliance pack.

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.

Unlimited documents. One flat price.
