Detailed Review
firstaudit is a checklist and audit app published by reinstil GmbH & Co. KG, Dekan-Laist-Straße 17, 55129 Mainz, entered in the Mainz commercial register as HRA 40835. The imprint names Arne Reis as managing director.
firstaudit lets teams run audits and inspections from digital checklists on a smartphone, tablet or Windows device, document defects with photos, assign measures to responsible people and receive the inspection report automatically.
What does the firstaudit free plan include?
firstaudit offers a Free plan at EUR 0 for up to one user. It allows basic checklists with limited question types and the use of templates for recurring checklists.
firstaudit states that no credit card is needed for the free plan. Branding, rules, image markers and calculation questions start in the Standard plan.
What do the paid firstaudit plans cost?
firstaudit Standard costs EUR 12 per user per month with a minimum of five users. Premium costs EUR 22 per user per month, also with a minimum of five users.
Premium adds SAML single sign-on, repeating questions, extended analytics, S3 integration and task tracking. The page does not say whether the shown prices assume annual billing.
firstaudit as a European alternative to SafetyCulture
firstaudit is the contracting entity for a German product that states German development and hosting. The Enterprise plan lists a server location in Germany with ISO 9001, 27001, 27701 and 14001.
SafetyCulture publishes more templates and a bigger feature range. firstaudit is narrower but its prices and minimums are visible.
Limitations to Consider
The free plan is limited to one user and basic question types, and both paid plans require at least five users. firstaudit shows the Enterprise server location and certifications only for the Enterprise tier. The site and the pages we read are mostly in German, so English-speaking teams should test the app language first. For a vendor with a larger multi-site feature set compare Lumiform.
Who Should Use firstaudit
Small and mid-size teams in German-speaking markets that want to trial digital checklists for free and see their per-user price up front.
