Evalu-8 is a comprehensive EHS platform designed for larger organisations - it handles RAMS as part of a much wider suite covering incident reporting, multi-site management, analytics, and enterprise workflows. Its public EHS pricing starts with core per-licence pricing, then moves RAMS, COSHH, audits, incidents, and other modules into a quoted package. That can make sense if you run a fifty or hundred-person firm across multiple sites. For a sole trader fitting a kitchen or a small firm doing extensions, The Site Book is the clearer small-builder option.

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
Evalu-8 is a broad EHS platform with modules for training, audits, incident management, and compliance. Its public EHS pricing lists core software from GBP2.50 per licence per month, but RAMS, COSHH, risk assessments, incidents, and audits are shown as quoted add-ons. The Site Book is focused on the CDM 2015 document suite that UK builders need, with Pro at GBP39 per month or GBP360 per year.
Yes. Site inductions, where workers sign from their phone, and toolbox talks with a ninety-topic library are both included in every paid tier of The Site Book. There is no enterprise upsell to unlock them. By contrast, Evalu-8 is modular, so RAMS, COSHH, training, audits, and incident workflows may sit inside a quoted EHS package.
You can create one real project without entering a credit card, generate real CDM documents, and see whether The Site Book fits your business. The free Starter plan is not time-limited, so you can review the output properly, share it with a client, and decide later whether to upgrade to a paid plan for unlimited projects. There is no automatic charge.
The Site Book is built specifically for the small-to-mid UK construction market - sole traders up to fifty-person firms - and stays focused on the CDM 2015 document pack. Evalu-8 spans a much wider EHS scope and is priced for enterprise teams with dedicated health and safety departments. If your team does not have a full-time H and S manager, The Site Book is faster.
Yes. The Site Book accepts PCPP uploads and reuses the structure, so existing Evalu-8 exports give you a head start. Day-to-day authoring then moves into the natural-language brief, which cuts a typical RAMS from about two hours to under five minutes. Most teams run both in parallel for a couple of weeks during the switch and then drop the Evalu-8 subscription.
