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.

The short version

If you run a large estate that wants managed sensors everywhere and a platform spanning food, facilities and healthcare-grade monitoring, Checkit plays in a league ProCafe doesn't pretend to. But you'll have to book a demo to learn what it costs. For a cafe, deli or bakery, ProCafe publishes the price — £19, rolling — and covers the daily checks, allergens, deliveries and team operations without a sales cycle.

Common questions

How much does Checkit cost?

Checkit doesn't publish pricing — its site offers a demo and a sales conversation, and the quote is scoped to your estate (checked July 2026). ProCafe publishes its Core price: £19 per month per site, every Core feature included, rolling.

Does ProCafe offer sensor hardware like Checkit?

No — and we're straight about that. Checkit's managed sensor networks are its genuine strength. ProCafe offers an open sensor API instead: connect compatible temperature sensors on your own terms, alongside the manual checks most cafes run happily.

Who is Checkit genuinely better for?

Large estates — especially where monitoring spans food, facilities and healthcare-grade requirements — that want hardware, installation and platform under one enterprise agreement.
