K-MINE

  • Licences are online, with offline access limited to 2 days
  • Training is priced by custom quote and is not included in the published module rates

Cority EHS

  • Cority publishes no price: the platform page shows no rate, no per user fee and no minimum, and offers no self service quote tool
  • The platform is divided into separate modules and solution sets for environmental, health, safety, sustainability and quality, so scope determines cost rather than a list price
  • Capabilities such as learning management, document control and mobile EHS are listed as distinct modules rather than included in one product
