Team of six · year one
*Free tier: up to 10 users, 5 templates, generic inspections. Prices as published, July 2026.
SafetyCulture is what you buy when inspections span industries; its free tier is real and might genuinely be enough for a tiny team. But its per-seat pricing punishes the thing a cafe wants most — the whole team logging checks — and you assemble food workflows yourself. ProCafe is per-site with unlimited people, and the food workflows are already built.
