How we grade them
| 3.0GPASweetProcessVery good | 2.4GPATrainualFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B$82.50 a month covers up to 10 members on yearly billing, or $99 monthly, and each extra person is $4.17. Fill those ten seats and it's fair, with nothing held back for a dearer plan. Teams under 10 get their own price, but the site doesn't say what it is. | CNo plan has a published price: you're quoted on a demo call by team size. What is on record is a one-time implementation fee of $1,000. And the useful extras climb the ladder, with training paths and the org chart on Pro, single sign-on on Premium and the API on Enterprise. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. You get a 14-day trial with no credit card needed, and after that it's the paid plan or nothing. Fine for a look around, and that's it. | FNothing is free. There's no free plan and no self-serve trial. The only way to see Trainual working is to book a demo. |
| Features | AProcedures, processes and policies that link to each other, then run as tasks with each step checked off. Add manager approvals, every version kept, quizzes, process maps, a click recorder and a public or private knowledge base. For SOPs, that's the whole job. | AAn editor with AI drafting, more than 500 templates, built-in screen recording, and training assigned by role, department or location with due dates. AI-generated tests, e-signatures and completion reports show who actually read it. An AI search answers staff questions from your own docs. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record to go by, so a B is as high as we go. It's all in the browser. SweetAI drafts a procedure from just a title, and the browser plugin turns your clicks into steps, so you're not staring at a blank page. | CNo rating on record, and you can't just sign up and poke around: it starts with a demo call and a paid implementation. Once you're in, 500-plus templates and AI drafting mean you're not facing a blank page. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, plus a browser plugin for recording clicks. The site lists no desktop or mobile apps. Zapier is the one integration on record, and there's a public API. | AWeb, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, so staff out in the field can train on their phones. It connects to Slack, Google Drive, Gusto, BambooHR, ADP Run and Zapier. API access is Enterprise only, mind. |

Worth knowing
SweetProcess
- There is no free plan: after the 14-day trial the price is $99 a month for up to 10 members, or $82.50 a month billed yearly.
- The site says teams of fewer than 10 employees get separate pricing after starting a trial, but it does not publish the amount.
- The vendor describes the product as completely web-based; its site lists a browser plugin but no desktop or mobile apps.
- Having SweetProcess staff migrate existing SOPs into an account is an optional service with its own fee.
Trainual
- Trainual lists no prices: plans are quoted on a demo call according to team size and the features needed.
- A one-time implementation fee of $1,000 applies, and there is no self-serve free trial; evaluation starts with a demo.
- Individual training paths, video hosting and the org chart need Pro; custom branding, a custom domain and single sign-on need Premium.
- API access and custom integration support are limited to the Enterprise plan.
Key features
SweetProcess
- Procedures, processes and policies
- Step-by-step procedures can be combined into a larger process, and policies are kept alongside them and linked from inside a procedure or process.
- Tasks and data capture
- A procedure or process can be assigned as a task and tracked as each step is checked off. A form builder adds fields to a step to collect information while the task is done.
- Public or private knowledge base
- Existing procedures and policies can be published as a knowledge base for employees or clients on the company's own domain, with search, feedback forms and tracking.
- Approvals and version history
- Any teammate can suggest an improvement and a manager approves it before it goes live. Every change is tracked and highlighted, and any earlier version can be restored.
- AI drafting and click recording
- SweetAI writes a policy or procedure from a document title, and a browser plugin records clicks in a workflow and turns them into a procedure.
- Quizzes and process maps
- Quizzes check how well staff know a policy, process or procedure, and process maps draw each decision and step of a procedure as a diagram.
Trainual
- Process docs and SOPs
- Processes, policies and SOPs are written in a built-in editor with AI drafting or uploaded from existing documents, and can include flowcharts, video, screen recordings and embeds.

- Tests, e-signatures and tracking
- AI-generated tests and e-signatures confirm that training was understood, and reports show completions and overdue assignments. Pro includes 300 e-signatures a year.
- AI knowledge search
- Employees ask a question and get an answer drawn from the company's own documented content, on the web and in the iOS and Android apps.
- Templates and courses
- More than 500 customizable templates are included. The FAQ describes a library of 400+ expert-built compliance and upskilling courses as a premium add-on.
