GoAudits is a good, well-priced inspection app with real UK traction. The honest difference is not features or price. It is that GoAudits is still an app with a login, and quickler removes the app entirely.
Free forever: 20 reports a month. No card, no trial clock.
The honest version
We are not going to pretend GoAudits is bad. It is a mature inspection tool with strong templates, clean reporting, UK-based support and a genuinely low price. If your team will use an app, GoAudits is a sensible, proven choice. The one thing it cannot change is that it is an app with a login, so the same on-site adoption drop-off applies. Quickler's only real difference is that it removes the app. The workflow runs in WhatsApp instead.
The alternatives
Mature templates, clean reports, UK support, from around £10 per seat a month. A good choice when the team will open an app. Still needs an install and a login.
FreeFamiliar and free, but illegible, unsearchable, and impossible to produce when a regulator or a client asks.
No appNothing to install, no login. The workflow arrives in the worker's existing WhatsApp chat. £20 per active user a month, dormant users free, only pay for who works.
How to choose
The real question is not which tool has the better template builder. GoAudits has an excellent one. The question is whether your team will actually open an app on site. If adoption of GoAudits or any app has held up, stay with it. If people fill forms later from memory because opening an app is one step too many, a WhatsApp-native workflow is worth testing, because they already use WhatsApp.
Switch from GoAudits
No app install. No per-seat pricing: £20 per active user a month, dormant users free, only pay for who works. Start free, no card, setup under a week.
GoAudits is a good product. It is one of the better-value inspection apps in the UK, with strong templates and real traction. So the honest reason to look for a goaudits alternative uk teams will use is not that GoAudits is weak. It is that it is an app with a login, and for some teams that is the whole problem.
Here is a fair comparison, where GoAudits wins, and where a no-app approach wins.
Credit where due
An honest comparison starts where the product is strong, and GoAudits is strong.
The template library is excellent and the builder is flexible enough to cover most inspection and audit types. The reporting is clean, PDF output is professional and configurable, and the dashboard gives a clear view of who has completed what across the team. Support is UK-based and responsive, which matters when you are mid-rollout.
The price is genuinely competitive, from around £10 per seat per month, which puts it well below the enterprise tools. For a UK firm that wants a capable inspection app without an enterprise bill, GoAudits is a reasonable default. None of that is in doubt.
The one catch
The single structural limit is not a product flaw. It is the category. GoAudits is an app. Every worker downloads it and keeps a login alive. For a desk-based or adoption-tolerant team that is a non-issue.
For a team out on jobs, an app is one more thing to open when hands are full. What happens next is familiar. The inspection gets done. GoAudits gets filled in later, in the van or the car park, from memory. The record says completed. It reflects what someone remembered, not what they saw.
A cheaper app does not fix this, because the friction was never the price. It was the act of opening an app and logging in at the point of work. That is the honest reason some firms keep looking after trying GoAudits.
The alternatives
GoAudits is the app-based option done well: good templates, clean reports, UK support, low price. Pick it when the team will use an app. See our iAuditor alternative for the wider app-market teardown.
Paper and spreadsheets stay common in UK teams. Free, familiar, no training. The records are illegible, unsearchable, and impossible to produce when a client or regulator asks. The cost is not the subscription. It is the liability when the folder cannot be found.
Quickler removes the app. The workflow arrives in the worker's existing WhatsApp chat and they reply to each question as a message. Same behaviour they already do all day, no install, no login. The tradeoff is less template flexibility than a dedicated form builder.
The no-app option
Quickler runs in WhatsApp. Nothing to install, no login. The inspection workflow arrives in the worker's existing WhatsApp chat, and they reply to each question as a message. Voice notes are transcribed automatically. The core output is a shareable web report and a permanent record, with optional PDF and CSV export. Pricing is only for active users: £20 per active user per month with a £20 monthly minimum, plus a free tier of 20 reports a month, extra dormant users always free. An active user is someone who completed at least two workflows that month, so you add your whole team and only pay for who actually works. Everything is unlimited on a paid account, so anyone who reads but never files adds nothing to the cost.
The honest limit: quickler is not a drag-and-drop form builder. It does not have thousands of pre-built templates, and for complex branching audits with sophisticated scoring logic, GoAudits is the more flexible product. Quickler is built for teams of roughly 1 to 30 doing structured compliance and inspection capture. Rooted in UK compliance, it works anywhere WhatsApp does. If your team will happily use an app, GoAudits is a mature choice and there is no reason to switch. If adoption is the problem, the no-app approach is the thing to test.

Pricing is approximate. Check each vendor's current pricing before deciding. The deciding test is simple: will your team open an app on site, or not. If yes, GoAudits is a good, cheaper answer. If not, a WhatsApp-native workflow removes the barrier because they already use WhatsApp for everything else. One thing to check before switching: does the alternative produce a report format your clients and regulators will accept? PDF output from any reputable tool is usually fine, but verify if your sector has specific requirements. See SafetyCulture alternative UK and Lumiform alternative UK.
Yes. GoAudits is a mature, well-priced inspection app with strong templates, clean reporting and UK-based support. If your team will use an app, it is a sensible, proven choice. We would not tell you otherwise.
GoAudits is a dedicated inspection app: install, log in, complete forms inside it. Quickler runs in WhatsApp: the worker receives questions in their existing chat and replies. GoAudits has a larger template library and a more flexible form builder. Quickler has higher on-site completion because there is no app to open and no login to remember.
It depends on your team shape. GoAudits charges per seat, from around £10 a seat a month. Quickler charges £20 per active user a month, where an active user is someone who completed at least two workflows that month, and dormant users are free. A team with many occasional users often pays less on quickler. A small team where everyone is active every month may pay less on GoAudits. Check both against your own numbers.
Only if adoption is your problem. If your team happily opens the GoAudits app on site, stay put. If people fill forms later from memory because opening an app is one step too many, test a WhatsApp-native workflow. Quickler has a free tier of 20 reports a month, up to 10 photos per report, no card and no trial clock, so you can try it without committing. Related: Lumiform alternative UK and all comparisons.
