RamsDocs vs HASpod

Verified pricing and an honest look at the edit-a-template model vs job-specific drafting. Facts checked 6 June 2026 against haspod.com.

Who's writing this: we make RamsDocs, so read this as a vendor comparison — but every number below is either a competitor's published price (linked in Sources) or the output of a like-for-like test we ran on 3 June 2026, where the same boiler-installation job spec went through every builder we could access. Check our work against the sources.

HASpod (by Darley PCM) is a health and safety membership platform claiming 20,000+ businesses: 800+ document templates plus training courses and toolbox talks, edited in a clean online editor and exported as branded PDFs. It's the "everything under one roof" subscription. RamsDocs does one thing instead: turn your trade and job details into a site-specific RAMS.

Pricing, verified

RamsDocs HASpod
Documents Free during early access Documents membership £799 +VAT/yr (10 users included)
Full bundle n/a Pro (documents + training + talks) £997 +VAT/yr
One-off option n/a Construction packs, e.g. 100 documents for £295 +VAT
Training / talks Not included Training £499/yr, Talks £99/yr (separate plans)
Free entry Free, no card Free plan advertised (limits not stated on the pricing page)

HASpod also sells one-off document packs separately from membership — worth knowing, because the dual model (subscription and packs) confuses some buyers into paying for both.

The model difference

HASpod's 800+ templates are pre-written documents you open in the editor, fill with your project details and download. Quality of the final RAMS depends on how thoroughly you edit — the template doesn't know your job, your site or which hazards actually apply. That's the trade-off of breadth: enormous catalogue, generic starting point.

RamsDocs inverts it: a deliberately narrow, deeply built trade library, and the document is drafted for your job — the hazards, method sequence and controls reflect what you told it about the work, with citations to the underlying HSE guidance. You review and approve as the competent person and export the PDF.

Pick HASpod if

  • You want documents, training courses and toolbox talks under one subscription — the £997 Pro bundle replaces several point products
  • You produce many H&S document types beyond RAMS (policies, CDM forms, inspections)
  • You have up to 10 users who all need access — the membership includes them

Pick RamsDocs if

  • The thing you actually need is a RAMS that's specific to this job, not a template to edit
  • You're a sole trader or small sub and £799 +VAT/yr is platform money you don't need to spend — RamsDocs is free during early access
  • Your principal contractors push back on generic documents: job-specific drafting addresses the exact failure mode

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does HASpod cost?

Verified June 2026: Documents membership £799+VAT/year, Training £499, Talks £99, or the Pro bundle of all three at £997+VAT/year — each including 10 users. One-off construction document packs are sold separately (e.g. 100 documents for £295+VAT). A free plan is advertised; its limits aren't stated on the pricing page.

Are HASpod templates site-specific?

They're pre-written templates you edit online — site-specificity depends entirely on your edits. The SSIP criterion and principal contractors both ask for documents specific to the project, so budget real editing time per job. RamsDocs drafts the document from your job details instead.

Does HASpod use AI?

No AI generation is mentioned on haspod.com — it's a pick-template, edit, download model with content maintained by the platform.

Which is cheaper for occasional RAMS?

RamsDocs is free during early access. HASpod's £799+VAT membership prices out occasional users, though its one-off packs (from £20) suit someone who wants a batch of editable construction documents without a subscription.
