SiteDocs is a well-regarded, field-proven construction safety platform — strong digital forms, certification tracking, and one of the better offline mobile apps in the category, with deep roots in Canadian construction. It's also Jobsite's closest analogue on cost, though the units aren't quite the same anymore: SiteDocs bills a flat monthly rate per worker whether or not that worker logs in, while Jobsite publishes its pricing outright and meters only the days a worker actually opens the app for job work. The bigger difference is scope: step up to Jobsite's Full Suite and you get the project-management and financial suite SiteDocs doesn't have. If you want pure safety documentation — especially Canada-first compliance — SiteDocs is a solid pick; if you want safety plus the rest of the project on one platform, Jobsite goes further.
Quick comparison
| Jobsite | SiteDocs | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Construction — safety, training, and the project itself | Construction safety documentation |
| Pricing | $300/month (Safety Suite) or $600/month (Full Suite), plus $1 per billable worker-session-day | Per user/worker; independent sources report about $29–30 per worker per month |
| Published price | Yes — every figure is on the pricing page, and signup is self-serve | No — quote-led, so the number comes from a sales conversation |
| Digital forms and inspections | Inspections plus a custom form builder | Custom form builder, with scheduled and repeating forms |
| Certification and ticket tracking | Renewal tracking, plus bulk import of external certs like OSHA 10/30 | Certification and ticket tracking with expiry and renewal reminders |
| Training course library | Bilingual (English + Spanish) OSHA-aligned video courses, with certificates issued automatically on completion | No built-in course library |
| RFIs, submittals, daily logs, schedule | Full registers plus a critical-path schedule | Not included |
| AIA pay applications | G702/G703, auto-derived from the budget | Not included |
| Mobile and offline | Bilingual (English + Spanish) worker app that works offline | Polished offline mobile app |
Pricing: published suites vs a per-worker quote
Both tools price around the worker, though the mechanics no longer match. SiteDocs doesn't publish a public price — it's quote-led, and independent sources put the effective rate around $29–30 per worker per month, billed whether or not that worker logs in. Independent guides also report meaningful renewal increases (on the order of 28–40%), which makes multi-year budgeting harder. Jobsite publishes its full pricing: $300/month for the Safety Suite or $600/month for the Full Suite, plus $1 per billable worker-session-day, billed only on a day a worker actually opens the app for job work — all on the pricing page. (Competitor pricing as of July 2026; because SiteDocs is quote-led, treat the ~$29 figure as an independent estimate and confirm your own number with their sales team.)
The honest read: SiteDocs charges for headcount whether or not a worker logs in; Jobsite charges for use, metering only the days a worker actually opens the app for job work on top of its suite base. Which one costs less depends on how steadily your crew is on site, not on crew size alone — and the project-management and financial suite comes with Jobsite's Full Suite, not the entry Safety Suite tier.
Safety: close, with different strengths
SiteDocs is genuinely good at what it does. Its custom form builder, PDF document library, certification and ticket tracking, scheduled/repeating forms and toolbox talks, and offline mobile app are well-executed and trusted on real job sites. If your need is purely digitizing safety paperwork and tracking tickets, it does that cleanly.
Jobsite's safety stack covers the same ground — inspections, forms, certification tracking, toolbox talks, offline capture — and adds an inspector-grade AI compliance audit, behavior-based safety observations with a near-miss-to-incident ratio, and OSHA 300/300A/301 incident forms. Ask Jobsite also answers plain-English questions over live job data, turns those questions into dashboards, and drafts project documents from the job's own facts. The two are close on core safety; Jobsite layers more analysis and automation on top.
Where Jobsite goes further
- Training, not just tracking. SiteDocs tracks certifications and tickets but doesn't ship a course library. Jobsite includes a bilingual (English + Spanish) OSHA-aligned course library, issues certificates automatically on completion, and drives required training by trade, role, and jurisdiction rules.
- The whole project, not just the binder. SiteDocs is safety-only. Jobsite adds the project-management suite — RFIs, submittals, daily logs, a critical-path schedule, punch lists — and financials: budgets, contracts, change orders, and AIA G702/G703 pay apps. Same platform, same login.
- A bilingual worker app that does training, certs, time, talks, and capture — built for US crews with Spanish-speaking field workers.
When SiteDocs is the better fit
- Canada-first contractors — SiteDocs has deep roots in Canadian construction safety and COR-style compliance, with English/French bilingual support.
- Pure safety-documentation shops that want a focused tool for forms and ticket tracking and nothing else.
- Teams already in the GoCanvas ecosystem (SiteDocs is a GoCanvas solution).
- Crews that value its specific offline mobile workflow, which is one of the most polished in the category.
When Jobsite is the better fit
- US contractors who want a bilingual English/Spanish worker app and OSHA-anchored compliance.
- Teams that want training built in — a course library and automatic cert issuance, not just expiry tracking.
- Anyone who needs project management and financials alongside safety, on one platform.
- Buyers who want published pricing — a flat suite base plus metered usage, instead of a sales quote — see the pricing page.

Migrating from SiteDocs
Export your forms, completed records, certification data, and document library from SiteDocs, then rebuild your most-used forms as Jobsite templates and import your worker roster and certifications (Jobsite supports bulk cert import, including external certs like OSHA 10/30). Set your training rules by trade and role. Because Jobsite is self-serve, you can run a form and assign a course in parallel before switching. Keep your exported safety records on file for your compliance history.
FAQ
Is Jobsite a SiteDocs alternative?
Yes — and it's the closest comparison of the three: both are construction safety tools that price around the worker, though SiteDocs bills a flat per-worker rate and Jobsite meters actual use. Jobsite matches SiteDocs on core safety documentation and adds a bilingual training/certification engine — and stepping up to the Full Suite adds the project-management and financial suite SiteDocs doesn't offer at all.
How much does SiteDocs cost versus Jobsite?
SiteDocs is quote-led and doesn't publish a public price; independent sources put it around $29–30 per worker per month, and independent guides report renewal increases of roughly 28–40% (as of July 2026). Jobsite publishes its pricing: $300/month for the Safety Suite or $600/month for the Full Suite, plus $1 per billable worker-session-day — billed only on a day a worker actually opens the app for job work, not a flat per-head rate like SiteDocs. See the pricing page.
Does SiteDocs include project management?
No. SiteDocs focuses on safety documentation — forms, inspections, certification tracking, and toolbox talks. It does not include RFIs, submittals, daily logs, a schedule, or AIA pay apps. Jobsite includes all of those.
Does SiteDocs have a training course library?
SiteDocs tracks certifications and tickets but does not ship a built-in course library. Jobsite includes a bilingual OSHA-aligned course library, issues certificates automatically on completion, and tracks renewals so they don't lapse silently.

The Jobsite Editorial Team — Construction safety & OSHA compliance
The Jobsite Editorial Team writes the safety and compliance library behind Jobsite, the construction safety, OSHA compliance, and training platform for contractors. Every article starts from the primary regulatory text — the CFR section itself, not a summary of it — and is fact-checked against that source before it publishes, so what you read here is what the standard actually requires of small and mid-size contractors in the field.
