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.
swiftRMS and RamsDocs are the two UK products that genuinely generate a RAMS with AI rather than handing you a template. We ran the same boiler-installation spec through both on 3 June 2026 — and we'll start with where swiftRMS won, because it did win something.
What swiftRMS does well
In our test, swiftRMS produced the strongest hazard contextualisation of any product — it split gas-escape risk correctly across system disconnection and commissioning as separate hazards, and named job-real risks like combustible material near the new flue. Its 15-page output carried a full consultant anatomy: ALARP justification, inspection and monitoring, incident reporting, a toolbox talk, and an assessor declaration with client acceptance. Generation takes under two minutes from a plain-English task description, and exports are branded PDF plus editable Word.
Pricing is published and simple: Pro £49/mo (£490/yr) with unlimited documents, Business £149/mo adds permits and approval workflows, Enterprise £249/mo. 14-day trial, no card.
What RamsDocs does differently
Both tools draft with AI; the difference is what the AI stands on. RamsDocs generates from a curated, trade-specific safety library with grounded citations — each hazard and control traces to HSE guidance or legislation, with per-hazard evidence and stop-work fields. Edits are deterministic (change a detail and the document updates instantly — no LLM re-run, no re-roll of content you'd already approved). The output is a concise client-facing document, and the submission export includes the assessor declaration and client-acceptance block.
And the commercial difference: RamsDocs is free during early access, with free revision if a principal contractor sends the document back. swiftRMS is £588/yr on monthly Pro — its own site argues that pays for itself versus £350+ consultant-written RAMS, which is true if you produce documents steadily.

How to choose
Both will give you a genuinely job-specific document — which is more than the template platforms can say. Pick swiftRMS if you want Word export and a consultant-style document pack today at a published price. Pick RamsDocs if grounded citations, instant deterministic edits and free-during-early-access matter more. Frankly, with one free and the other offering a no-card trial, the cheapest option is to run your next real job through both and compare the outputs yourself.

Which produces a better RAMS, swiftRMS or RamsDocs?
In our like-for-like boiler test, swiftRMS had the strongest hazard contextualisation and shipped a fuller consultant-style anatomy; RamsDocs produced a tighter document with grounded citations, evidence fields and deterministic editing. Both were genuinely job-specific. Run a real job through both — one is free, the other has a no-card trial.
Do both tools require a competent person to review the output?
Yes — with any AI-drafted RAMS, a competent person must review, adjust and approve the document before it's used. That's your legal position regardless of tool, and both products frame it that way.
Does RamsDocs export to Word like swiftRMS?
RamsDocs currently exports a clean branded PDF (with a submission mode including the assessor declaration and client-acceptance block). swiftRMS exports branded PDF and editable Word. If Word output is a hard requirement today, that's a point to swiftRMS.
