SafetyCulture alternative: build your own inspections with AI
SafetyCulture, now sold as Mitti, is an operations platform for inspections and checklists, issue reporting, training and assets, priced per seat with a free plan for small teams. A business that mainly needs audits and follow-up can build that part.
Is there a SafetyCulture alternative for store audits and checklists?
If you need checklists filled in at each site, scored consistently, with every failed item turned into an action, build an inspections app from this blueprint: versioned templates, phone-first inspections with photos, actions with owners and due dates, schedules, repeat failures and site reports. SafetyCulture (now Mitti) is free for up to 10 seats with 5 templates, and Premium is $24 per seat per month billed annually (checked October 2026). Keep it if you need offline apps, AI, training or sensors.

Which should you choose?
Build your own if
- Your checklists are on paper and failed items aren't followed up.
- You need more than 5 templates or more than 10 people inspecting.
- You want the same scoring rules everywhere and every failure tracked to a fix.
- You'd rather not pay per seat for occasional inspectors.
Pay for SafetyCulture if
- Inspections happen where there's no signal and need an offline app.
- You want AI help, training courses or sensor readings in the same product.
- You need multi-language templates, integrations or single sign-on.
- You're 10 people or fewer with up to 5 checklists: the free plan may be enough.
