Safety Simple vs Procore
Procore is a great platform — for the wrong customer. It was built for general contractors running $50M+ projects with a full-time safety director. If you're a 5–35 person crew, you're paying for complexity you'll never use and still missing the trade-specific OSHA paperwork you actually need.

Frequently asked questions
Is Safety Simple a replacement for Procore?
Not for project management or financials. For OSHA safety compliance specifically — written programs, incident logging, toolbox talks, audits, and inspector-ready records — Safety Simple covers what a small crew actually needs at a fraction of the cost.
How much does Procore cost?
Procore uses annual contracts based on project volume and typically starts in the thousands per year. Safety Simple is a flat $49/month with no annual commitment.
Why would a small contractor pick Safety Simple over Procore?
If you have 2–35 people, no dedicated safety officer, and you mostly need OSHA paperwork that holds up to inspection — Procore is overbuilt and overpriced. Safety Simple was designed for that exact gap.
