Who each one is for
GoAudits
- Best for
- Small teams that run scored checklists at up to 25 sites and want the offline app, instant reports and action plans for $10 a user a month. source ↗
- Not for
- Teams that need scheduled audits, roles and permissions, Word or Excel reports or the API: those are Enterprise only, at $30 a user a month on annual billing. source ↗
- What we saw
- We started the 14-day trial without a card, ran an OSHA ladder safety checklist from the template library, and had a scored PDF report in our inbox under 7 minutes after sign-up. (tested Nov 5, 2026)
- Gaps
- No free plan, only a 14-day trial, capped at 5 users, 10 checklists and 100 audits. source ↗
- Starter caps you at 10 checklist templates, 25 locations, 1 company and 2 photos per question. source ↗
- Roles, scheduled audits, Word/Excel reports, advanced analytics and the API are Enterprise only; SSO costs extra even there. source ↗
- Each account can be signed in on 3 devices at once. source ↗
