swiftRMS pricing (external) →Frequently asked questions
Is Complys cheaper than swiftRMS?
Complys Pro is GBP 30/mo, swiftRMS Pro is GBP 49/mo - Complys is GBP 19/mo cheaper for the AI RAMS builder alone. The comparison is not exactly like-for-like - swiftRMS Pro includes standalone SSOW, Manual Handling and HAVs document types where Complys covers those within the RAMS itself. At higher tiers Complys is structurally cheaper with no per-seat fees, and you get asset checks, vehicle checks, CRM and quotes/invoices included.
Which has better AI for RAMS?
Both are good. Complys works by interviewing you about the project before drafting - that questioning step catches edge-case details. swiftRMS supports video/photo upload for hazard ID, which is a real differentiator if your project is easier to show than describe. For routine RAMS both produce solid output. For unusual visible-hazard projects, swiftRMS video upload is useful. For Network Rail/NHS/MOD compliance overlay, Complys questioning is the stronger fit.
Does swiftRMS have vehicle and asset checks?
No - swiftRMS is RAMS-focused. Their feature surface includes RAMS, COSHH, SSOW, Manual Handling, HAVs, Permits to Work, Toolbox Talks. It does not include vehicle daily walkaround checks, asset registers with QR scan inspections, or quotes/invoices/CRM. If you need RAMS plus those operational features, Complys is the broader platform.
Can swiftRMS review subcontractor RAMS like Complys?
No - swiftRMS creates RAMS, not reviews them. Complys has a dedicated subcontractor RAMS adequacy review feature - upload the subbie PDF, get PASS / FAIL / BORDERLINE verdict with feedback. If you receive subbie RAMS and need to check adequacy quickly, that is Complys-specific.
Does swiftRMS have Permits to Work and Complys does not?
Yes - swiftRMS includes Permits to Work in their Business tier (GBP 149/mo). Complys does not have Permits to Work yet - it is on the Q4 2026 roadmap. If you need digital hot works, confined space, working at height permits today, swiftRMS is the better fit until Complys ships it.
Which is better for principal contractors managing subbies?
Complys. It was built around the principal-contractor-managing-subbies workflow: compliance request system, subcontractor RAMS adequacy review, free Compliance Sharer tier for subbies to share back, public directory of compliant tradespeople. swiftRMS is built for the contractor creating their own RAMS - it does not have multi-party features.
Does swiftRMS offer a free tier?
No - swiftRMS has a 14-day free trial on Pro and Business with no credit card, but no permanent free tier. Complys has two genuinely free forever tiers: Compliance Sharer (for any company sharing documents) and Contractor Free (for principal contractors requesting compliance from subbies). AI features on Complys free tiers run on credit top-ups.
I tried swiftRMS interactive RAMS preview and liked it. Does Complys have something similar?
Not exactly. Complys offers a 90-day free trial with full product access instead of a pre-signup demo. swiftRMS lets you preview without an email; Complys gives you 90 days of actual product usage with your real projects. If you want a 5-minute look before committing your email, swiftRMS preview is great. If you want to actually evaluate the tool against your real work, Complys 90-day trial is more substantive.
