Where we lead
What swiftRMS Does Better
Written for the job, not picked from a shelf
Describe the task and site in plain English and swiftRMS drafts the hazards, risk ratings, controls, sequence of works and legislation references for that job. A library RAMS starts from someone else's job and leaves you to find what doesn't fit.
AI on every plan
RAMs App lists its AI content generator on the Multi User plan, for when the library has nothing suitable. In swiftRMS the AI drafts every document, including on the £49 single-user plan.
The rest of the pack from the same description
One task description gives you the RAMS, a linked COSHH assessment, a Safe System of Work, manual handling and HAVs assessments and a toolbox talk, all ready for review.
Hazards from site photos and video
Upload photos or a walkthrough video and swiftRMS flags hazards it can see that weren't in the written scope, so the assessment reflects the actual site.
Where they lead
Where RAMs App Wins
An honest comparison has to say where the other tool is the better fit.
Consultant-written content
RAMs App's library is written and reviewed by the Be Accredited consultancy. If you'd rather start from a document a consultancy has already written, that's a real advantage.
Ready-made COSHH library
Thousands of pre-written COSHH assessments with a substance register. swiftRMS drafts COSHH from the task, but doesn't offer a standalone substance search on Pro.
Bundled extras on the annual plan
The single-user annual plan includes asbestos awareness training, branded H&S policies and consultancy support. swiftRMS doesn't include training or consultancy.
Training matrix and reviews
RAMs App tracks training records in a matrix with PDF and Excel export, and has a 5.0 rating from 8 reviews on Capterra.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is swiftRMS a good RAMs App alternative?
It depends how you work. RAMs App gives you a large library of pre-written RAMS and COSHH assessments to pick from and edit. swiftRMS drafts each RAMS from your own task description, so it suits contractors whose jobs vary or don't match a stock document. Both need a competent person to review and approve before use.
How much does RAMs App cost compared with swiftRMS?
RAMs App's single-user Annual Unlimited plan is £449 plus VAT a year, checked 7 October 2026. Its monthly and multi-user prices are not listed publicly. swiftRMS Pro is £49 a month or £499 a year for unlimited documents, and Business is £399 a month for teams of up to 10.
Does RAMs App use AI?
RAMs App has an AI content generator for writing new risk assessments, sequences of works and toolbox talks when the library has nothing suitable. It is listed on the Multi User plan. Its main way of producing a RAMS is the pre-written library.
Can I try swiftRMS before switching from RAMs App?
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.
Are AI-drafted RAMS acceptable to principal contractors?
A principal contractor looks at whether the RAMS is specific to the task and site, and whether the controls are suitable. swiftRMS drafts a task-specific document with the relevant legislation referenced, and your competent person reviews, edits and approves it before it's issued.
