The verdict
Which One is Right for You?
Choose swiftRMS if you...

- Need the RAMS, method statement and Safe System of Work for the job from the same tool as the COSHH
- Don't want to count assessments, or pay more when you add products
- Want to pay monthly or yearly and leave when you like, with no onboarding fee
- Want to try it on your own sheets before you talk to anyone
Choose Sypol if you...
- Hold thousands of substances across many sites and want every assessment written for you by a specialist team
- Need a library of 900,000+ pre-built assessments to pull from
- Want safer-substance substitution suggestions
- Need REACH and CLP compliance tracking alongside COSHH
- Already use other EcoOnline modules, such as audits or training

Where we lead
What swiftRMS Does Better
Same day, not next day
A new product turns up on site and the job starts tomorrow. Sypol quotes as little as 24 hours for a new assessment. Describe the task in swiftRMS and the draft is ready to review in minutes.
COSHH and RAMS from one place
On site, COSHH sits inside the RAMS. swiftRMS writes both for the job, along with the method statement, Safe System of Work, HAVs and manual handling, so the substances, controls and PPE match from one document to the next. Sypol does COSHH only.
No count, no lock-in
Sypol prices by the number of assessments and sites, on a 36-month contract with a £1,200 onboarding fee. swiftRMS Business is £399 a month or £3,990 a year, with unlimited assessments, no onboarding fee and no minimum term. Larger multi-site teams get an Enterprise quote.
UK limits, and soon your own sheets
Every assessment uses only UK EH40 limits, with controls in hierarchy order and RPE and PPE for each substance. Coming soon on Business: upload your suppliers' safety data sheets and assessments will take the sheet's own hazard statements, first aid, storage and disposal wording, and cite it by supplier, revision and date.
Where they lead
Where Sypol Wins
An honest comparison has to say where the other tool is the better fit.
Assessments written for you
Sypol's team of scientists and safety professionals writes each assessment. With swiftRMS the AI drafts it and a competent person in your business reviews and approves it.
A huge library
Sypol has more than 900,000 pre-built assessments and adds around 10,000 a month. swiftRMS works from the sheets you upload and doesn't hold a shared library.
Deeper chemical management
Sypol suggests safer substitute substances and tracks REACH and CLP compliance. swiftRMS doesn't do either.
Part of a wider EHS suite
Sypol is part of EcoOnline, which also sells audit, risk and training software. swiftRMS is a safety-document tool for construction, security and facilities management.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is swiftRMS a good Sypol alternative?
For most contractors and facilities teams, yes. If you want COSHH drafted quickly for each job, written alongside the RAMS, swiftRMS does that with unlimited assessments and no long contract. If you manage thousands of substances across many sites and want a specialist team to write every assessment, with substitution advice and REACH tracking, Sypol is built for that. Either way, a competent person should review each assessment before use.
How much does Sypol cost?
Sypol doesn't publish prices on its own site. EcoOnline's G-Cloud 14 pricing document (November 2025) gives examples from £4,694 a year for 100 assessments at 1 site to £47,995 a year for 5,000 assessments at 6 sites, on a 36-month contract, plus a £1,200 onboarding fee. Shorter contracts cost 15% more. swiftRMS Business is £399 a month or £3,990 a year with unlimited assessments and no onboarding fee. Enterprise is quoted per deployment.
Does swiftRMS have a substance database like Sypol?
No. Sypol keeps a library of more than 900,000 assessments. swiftRMS drafts each assessment from the task you describe, using UK EH40 limits. Uploading your own suppliers' safety data sheets is coming soon on Business: each will become a product, and assessments that use it will take their wording from that sheet and cite its revision and date.
Can I move from Sypol to swiftRMS?
Yes. Describe the tasks your products are used for and compare the drafts with your current assessments. Start with the 14-day free trial, no card needed, and try it on a recent job. If you're tied into a Sypol contract, you can run both until it ends.
Does swiftRMS work across several sites?
Business covers a team of up to 10. For several sites, or more people, talk to us about Enterprise, which is quoted per deployment.
