The 8 best best fire risk assessment software tools, in detail
Mitti
Best for: General inspections, checklists and corrective actions
Mitti, formerly SafetyCulture and long known for its iAuditor app, is a general workplace operations platform used for fire risk assessments, routine inspections, hazard reports and corrective actions. Its free plan covers up to 10 seats and 5 active inspection templates. Premium adds unlimited active templates, advanced analytics, advanced training, permissions, integrations and single sign on.
- The main trade off is scope.
- Mitti does not ship a dedicated PAS 79 fire risk assessment workflow, so a UK assessor must build or adapt a template to match PAS 79-1 or BS 9792.
- For a US team working to NFPA checklists, or a facilities team that also runs general safety, quality and maintenance inspections in one place, that b
- For a specialist fire consultancy that lives inside PAS 79 every day, a purpose built tool in this list may need less setup.
Pros
- Free plan for up to 10 seats
- large template library
- offline mobile app with scheduling, actions and analytics
Cons
- Per seat pricing rises fast as headcount grows, and fire risk work needs a custom template because the product is not fire specific
FireCheckr
Best for: Drafting reports from voice notes on site
FireCheckr lets the assessor talk, type quick notes and take photos while walking the building, then drafts the report in the assessor’s own template, built on PAS 79-1 and BS 9792. Each sentence cites the note or photo it came from, and nothing is issued until the assessor approves it, with peer review and an audit trail built in. The iOS and Android apps work offline.
- Pricing is per report, not per seat, at £19.50 per report at the standard rate, with volume discounts for larger consultancies.
- That model suits a firm with many occasional users, or a solo assessor whose report volume varies month to month, because adding a colleague does not
- A 7 day free trial is offered.
- Buyers should confirm what the CRM and client portal cost before budgeting, since those are priced separately from the per report charge.
Pros
- Per report pricing with unlimited users
- AI voice capture drafts reports in your own template
- offline capture with peer review and audit trail
Cons
- CRM and client portal are priced separately, and volume discounts depend on your report count
Certshor
Best for: AI assisted assessment, risk ratings and cited regulation
Certshor is built for UK assessors who want the write up to move faster without handing judgement to the software. The assessor works through a standard template designed around PAS 79-1 and BS 9792, captures findings on site offline, and Certshor returns a compliance status, a risk rating and actions, each citing the specific regulation, with a priority and a timeframe. Every rating is a first pass to confirm, change or reject, with edits flagged and the original kept.
- Export is to Word or CSV.
- The entry point is unusual and useful for occasional work.
- A single assessment costs £15 plus VAT, one off, with no subscription, and includes the full assessment workflow, AI assessment with cited legislation
- Essentials costs £99 plus VAT per user per month for unlimited assessments on the standard templates, and Pro costs £125 plus VAT per user per month a
Pros
- Standard templates around PAS 79-1 and BS 9792

- offline capture with photos, annotations and signatures
Cons
- No free plan, and the full form builder is only on the Pro plan at £125 per user per month

- There are no per user fees on the published starter price.
- The workflow follows PAS 79-1:2020 for non domestic premises across 10 fixed sections, or BS 9792:2025 for housing across 9 sections.
- The assessor records findings and photos on site, generates a branded PDF with risk ratings, action plan and photos, then tracks findings as actions w
- The clear limit is offline working.
Pros
- Free plan with 2 assessments a month
- flat rate with no per user fees
- PAS 79-1 and BS 9792 report structure with branded PDFs
Cons

GoPAD
Best for: Fire safety firms that want a client portal
GoPAD is a fire risk assessment platform for fire safety businesses, with a Consult plan at £95 per month per assessor and an Enterprise plan priced on application for large portfolios. Consult includes portal access so clients can view assessments and manage tasks, at a fixed monthly cost per assessor. Enterprise adds total control of data, with in house or third party assessors and unlimited users.
- All fees are subject to VAT.
- The fixed per assessor model is easy to budget when each assessor completes a steady volume of reports.
- A free trial is offered from the pricing page.
- Before choosing GoPAD, ask which features sit in Consult and which need Enterprise, and how the client portal handles evidence uploads and sign off.
Pros
- Fixed monthly cost per assessor
- client portal for assessments and tasks
- Enterprise plan with unlimited users
Cons
- No free plan, and bespoke requirements including custom forms need a direct enquiry
Firehub
Best for: Mobile PAS 79 assessments with a client portal
Firehub comes from Synergy Fire Technologies, a fire risk assessment business that built the app for its own assessors, and it is designed to work straight out of the box with no lengthy setup. Its PAS 79 and BS 9792 templates are maintained with input from fire safety industry leaders, and Firehub is an IFSM Affiliate Member.

- Unlimited findings and unlimited photos are included.
- One free assessment is offered on download.
Pros
- PAS 79 and BS 9792 templates ready to use
- offline tablet working
- unlimited client logins and unlimited findings and photos
Cons
- No published price on the homepage, so budgeting needs a direct quote
PocketSurvey
Best for: Fire risk work alongside housing and compliance surveying
PocketSurvey is mobile building surveying software, and fire is a family of apps within it, covering fire risk, fire door, fire spaces and fire damper work. Its customers are housing associations, property managers, landlords and surveying practices, so it is built for portfolio volume. The fire risk app follows the guidelines set out by PAS 79, and the assessor can brand the output and customise menus with the in built app designer.
- The feature that stands out is costed remedial actions.
- The app applies a schedule of rates automatically, so the action plan already comes with a price attached.
- The ongoing monthly subscription cost for the fire risk app is £75 plus VAT per month, per user, after a first discounted month, with support and trai
- Higher tiers add fire spaces, fire damper and remedial works, so buyers who need several apps should add up the per app cost first.
Pros
- Fire risk, fire door, fire spaces and fire damper apps in one family
- costed remedial actions in the report
- support and training included
Cons
- Per app pricing multiplies when an assessor needs more than one app, and there is no free plan

PlanRadar is a field management platform for construction and fire safety teams, covering fire risk assessments, fire door inspections, extinguisher, alarm and sprinkler checks, passive fire protection and compartmentation surveys, and recurring maintenance inspections.

- The vendor page also lists a 30 day free trial, unlimited subcontractor and watcher access on every plan, and offline working on iOS, Android, Windows

Cons
- Basic is limited to 1 user, and the higher Starter and Pro tiers cost far more per user
How we chose
We opened each vendor homepage or pricing page on 12 November 2026 and took the starting price from that page, and listed quote only where no price was published on the page we opened. We favoured tools with a clear fire risk assessment workflow, a real official homepage, and a published price or a clear trial. We did not claim hands on testing, and we did not use third party review scores to rank the tools. Readers should shortlist by their own method, volume and client needs.
What to check before you buy
Check which method the templates follow, PAS 79-1 for non domestic premises, BS 9792 for housing, or NFPA forms for US work, and whether the questions map to the clauses or only use the standard name. Ask how reports export, whether clients can see findings and upload evidence, and whether the audit trail records every change. Confirm the full cost, including VAT, per user or per report charges, portal add ons, and any setup or custom template fees. Test offline working in a basement or plant room, and confirm who owns the data and how it exports if you cancel.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best fire risk assessment software for a solo assessor?
AssessKit is a strong starting point for a solo assessor, with a free plan for 2 assessments a month and a Starter plan at £39 per month for 15 assessments, unlimited sites and report branding. FireCheckr also suits variable volume at £19.50 per report, and Certshor suits occasional work at £15 plus VAT for a single assessment. Choose by monthly report count, not by feature list alone.
Does fire risk assessment software replace a competent assessor?
No. The software records findings, structures the report, tracks actions and keeps an audit trail, but the competent assessor still decides the risk ratings, the significance of each finding and whether the assessment is suitable and sufficient. Every tool in this list leaves sign off with the person who signs the report, and that person remains responsible for the judgement in it.
Which tools follow PAS 79 and BS 9792?
Certshor, AssessKit, FireCheckr, Firehub, GoPAD and PocketSurvey all describe templates or workflows built around PAS 79-1 and BS 9792. Mitti and PlanRadar are broader inspection platforms, so the assessor must build or adapt a template to match the method. Always open the template list on the vendor site and check the section structure before you buy.
How much does fire risk assessment software cost per month?
Starting prices in this list run from $0 on a free plan to £39 per month for AssessKit, £75 plus VAT per user per month for PocketSurvey, £95 per assessor per month for GoPAD, $24 per seat per month billed annually for Mitti Premium, and $35 per user per month for PlanRadar Basic. Per report options are £19.50 per report for FireCheckr and £15 plus VAT for a single Certshor assessment.
Can I use fire risk assessment software offline on site?
FireCheckr, Certshor, Firehub and PlanRadar all describe offline capture, so notes and photos sync when coverage returns. AssessKit states that it needs an internet connection while you work, with no offline mode. Check offline support on the vendor page for your shortlist, and test it in a basement or plant room before you commit.
Is there a free fire risk assessment software option?
Yes. Mitti offers a free plan for up to 10 seats with 5 active inspection templates, and AssessKit offers a free plan with 2 assessments a month for 1 site. FireCheckr, GoPAD, Firehub and PlanRadar offer a free trial instead of a free plan, with trial lengths from 1 free assessment to 30 days. Certshor and PocketSurvey list no free plan.
