Where we lead
What swiftRMS Does Better
Built for one job, not thirty
Complys spreads itself across dozens of industries, from care homes to lettings, and across timesheets, vehicle checks, CRM and tendering. swiftRMS only does safety documents for construction, security and facilities management, so that is where every improvement goes: the RAMS, COSHH, SSOW and Construction Phase Plans your principal contractor actually reads.
The document, not the cover sheet
Complys offers Network Rail, NHS and MOD cover sheets to put on the front of a document. swiftRMS writes the document underneath: subcontractors on Network Rail and Tier 1 UK infrastructure projects use it every day to write the RAMS their sites run on.
Written from your words, not a questionnaire
Describe the task and site in plain English, however unusual, and swiftRMS drafts the hazards, risk ratings, controls, sequence of works and legislation references for that job. A trade list and multiple-choice questions work well for routine jobs and less well for the ones that don't fit the options.
Hazards from photos and video
Upload site photos or a walkthrough video and swiftRMS picks out the hazards to cover in the RAMS. Complys' site does not mention anything like it.
Where they lead
Where Complys Wins
An honest comparison has to say where the other tool is the better fit.
Far broader platform
Complys runs GPS timesheets, vehicle checks, an accident book, a CRM and tender finding alongside its compliance tools. swiftRMS does none of that; it is a safety-document tool.
Subcontractor and certificate management
Complys collects contractors' documents through a secure link, checks them with AI, and tracks certificates and expiry dates with a training matrix. swiftRMS doesn't track certificates.
Free plan and a longer trial
Complys has a free plan for storing and sharing compliance documents, and a 30-day trial on paid plans. swiftRMS has a 14-day trial and no free plan.
Beyond construction
Complys has workflows for care homes, lettings, transport, hospitality and childcare, and site inductions in 14+ languages. swiftRMS is built for construction, security and facilities management.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is swiftRMS a good Complys alternative?
It depends what you need the software for. If you want one platform for compliance and running the business (timesheets, vehicle checks, certificates, a CRM and tendering), Complys covers more. If your main need is the safety documents themselves, swiftRMS goes deeper: RAMS written from your own description of the job, COSHH, and Safe System of Work, manual handling, HAVs and Construction Phase Plans from the same tool. Either way, a competent person reviews and approves each document before use.
How much does Complys cost compared with swiftRMS?
Complys lists a free plan, Pro at £30 a month with 5 AI RAMS a day, Growth at £49, Growth Plus at £99 and Diamond at £199 a month with up to 30 RAMS a day, checked 7 October 2026. swiftRMS Pro is £49 a month or £499 a year with unlimited documents, and Business is £399 a month for teams, with permits to work and team sign-off. Complys' £30 plan costs less, but it caps AI RAMS at 5 a day and its site does not list Safe System of Work, HAVs or manual handling. Compare what each plan writes, not just the monthly price.
Does Complys use AI to write RAMS?
Yes. Complys has you pick one of 12 trades and answer 5 to 15 multiple-choice questions, then its AI drafts the RAMS. swiftRMS works from a plain-English description of the task and site, so jobs that don't fit a trade list or a set of options are described in your own words.
Can I try swiftRMS before switching from Complys?
Yes. The 14-day free trial needs no card. Describe a job you've recently written a RAMS for and compare the draft with your existing document before deciding.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some businesses keep a broad platform for timesheets, certificates and contractor records and use swiftRMS to write the RAMS, COSHH and method statements, exported as PDF or Word.
