Honest comparison
ProCafe vs Checkit
Checkit is a Cambridge-built operations platform whose real strength is automated monitoring at enterprise scale — sensor networks for temperature, humidity, even O₂/CO₂ and water leaks, across hospitals, senior care and big food estates. ProCafe is the transparent, cafe-sized alternative: £19 a month, published on the site, no demo required.
