Fulcrum vs SiteDocs
Short answer: Fulcrum suits field teams whose inspections are tied to places on a map, such as utilities, environmental and infrastructure crews that already use Esri ArcGIS. SiteDocs suits contractors and field crews (construction, oil and gas, forestry, manufacturing) that want every worker and subcontractor signing safety forms on a phone, with certifications tracked, on an annual contract.

Who each one is for
Fulcrum
- Best for
- Field teams whose inspections are tied to places on a map, such as utilities, environmental and infrastructure crews that already use Esri ArcGIS. source ↗
- Not for
- Teams under 5 people or anyone who wants to pay month to month: every plan is an annual subscription with a 5-user minimum, and Fulcrum gives no refunds. source ↗
- What we saw
- We started the trial with only an email and password, but the next step required a phone number, so we stopped before getting into the app. (tested Nov 5, 2026)
- Gaps
- Annual subscription and a 5-user minimum on every plan. source ↗
- API access, webhooks, SSO and SCIM need Elite at $55 a user a month, and the free trial leaves them out. source ↗
- No refunds in any case, and the terms let the standard price rise 7% a year at renewal for subscriptions that start from a trial. source ↗
- Your data is removed when you cancel, so export it first. source ↗
- Each user license is for one person on up to two devices; shared logins can be billed as extra users. source ↗

- Contractors and field crews (construction, oil and gas, forestry, manufacturing) that want every worker and subcontractor signing safety forms on a phone, with certifications tracked, on an annual contract. source ↗
- Not for

- Gaps
- No public price, and no free plan or free trial on offer; an initial call is required for a quote. source ↗
- Annual contract that renews for 12 months unless you give written notice 30 days before the end; fees are non-refundable and can rise each year. source ↗
- Existing paper forms can't be imported; they are rebuilt in SiteDocs (its content team helps). source ↗
- Support is in English only. source ↗
