Honest comparison
This is a bundle-price comparison, not a feature bake-off - ranked by the monthly-equivalent cost of buying RAMS plus CPP plus toolbox talks as a single line item. The Site Book wins outright at £360 a year, equivalent to £30 a month, or £39 on monthly billing. Haspod Pro Plan comes second at about £83 a month equivalent (£997 a year, annual upfront) and genuinely bundles Documents, Training, and Talks. HandsHQ publishes RAMS pricing, but the bundle fit depends on annual plans and team needs. Evalu-8 is modular EHS with RAMS and COSHH add-ons quoted publicly, only worth it if you need its wider EHS platform beyond the three-item bundle.

| Best for | Small-to-mid UK builders (1–50 users) who need a full CDM pack -RAMS, CPP, COSHH, site inductions, toolbox talks -without paying enterprise per-seat prices. | Small-to-mid UK businesses (sole trader up to ~50 users) that prefer browsing a 790+ template library and customizing by hand, and are comfortable with annual-only upfront commitments. Documents / Training / Talks are sold as separate annual subscriptions or bundled in the Pro Plan. | Mid-to-large contractors (10+ people) with a dedicated health and safety manager who need enterprise-grade team collaboration, approval workflows, and a curated template library. | Large contractors and enterprise teams with 50+ people who need a broad EHS platform covering compliance, training, audits, and incident management. |
| Not ideal for | New product (launched 2025) -smaller customer base and shorter track record than established tools like HandsHQ. | Annual-only billing with no monthly option and no automatic renewal -every plan requires a £799+VAT upfront commitment for 12 months, which is a heavy lift for sole traders testing the product. | Pricing starts at £44/mo for Basic with 1 RAMS; Advanced is £99/mo for 3 RAMS, Pro is £190/mo for 6 RAMS, and Teams starts from £275/mo. | RAMS and COSHH add-on pricing is quote-only publicly, so small builders cannot compare the real monthly cost without a sales conversation. |

Most compare pages rank on features. This one ranks on the bill. If you already know you want RAMS plus CPP plus toolbox talks as a single bundle, the right question is what the monthly-equivalent cost actually looks like - not which tool has the longest feature list. That framing rules out vendors who sell the three products separately (most RAMS-only tools) and vendors who refuse to publish any figures at all (HandsHQ). What's left is a short list with real numbers attached.
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.
If you want to pay monthly and keep the option to cancel, The Site Book at £39 a month is the clearest full CDM bundle for small builders. That one bill covers RAMS, CPP, COSHH, site inductions, and toolbox talks - no separate line items, no annual lock-in. The annual Pro option is £360 a year, equivalent to £30 a month.
Recommended for: Monthly flexibility - cancel-any-time, no annual commitment
If you're willing to pay for twelve months upfront, Haspod Pro Plan at £997 a year (roughly £83 a month equivalent) is the second-cheapest genuine bundle. It combines Documents, Training, and Talks - the three-item bundle most RAMS buyers actually want. The catch is the annual cheque up front and a template-browsing workflow rather than AI-generated site-specific documents.
Recommended for: Annual upfront - happy to pay a year in advance for a lower effective rate

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
Genuine bundles start at £360 a year with The Site Book, equivalent to £30 a month, or £39 if you pay monthly. Haspod's Pro Plan at around £997 a year works out at roughly £83 a month equivalent. Evalu-8 is modular EHS with RAMS and COSHH add-ons quoted publicly. Anything below that annual-equivalent price is almost certainly a RAMS-only tool rather than a real three-item bundle.
Yes, but it rarely works out cheaper once you add toolbox talks and site inductions on top. Tools like CDM Wizard and Pcpp generators sell CPP in isolation, and template packs offer standalone RAMS. Once you stitch three separate products together, the total bill usually beats a single bundle. Bundle pricing exists because the overlap between RAMS, CPP, and talks is large enough that vendors can sell them together profitably.
A full CDM 2015 bundle should ship RAMS and method statements, a construction phase plan, COSHH assessments, site induction records, and toolbox talks - plus the audit trail that proves workers signed them. The Site Book bundles all of those at £39 a month or £360 a year. Haspod Pro bundles Documents, Training, and Talks. Evalu-8 covers the same ground inside a wider EHS platform, with RAMS and COSHH add-ons quoted publicly.
Annual billing usually looks cheaper on paper but ties your cash up for twelve months. Haspod Pro at £997 a year beats its effective per-month rate only if you use it for the whole year. The Site Book is £39 monthly, or £360 annually if you want the £39/month or £360/year equivalent. If cancel-any-time matters to you, monthly is cheaper in practice because you pay only while you need the tool.
