If you're a small-to-medium manufacturer evaluating software to track employee training records and certifications, SafetyCulture, now rebranded as Mitti, is probably on your shortlist. It's a well-known, broad operations platform used by many enterprise-level companies.
But "broad" is the operative word. SafetyCulture/Mitti is built as an all-purpose inspections, audits, and frontline-operations platform, with training as one module among many. MakerComply's Training Tracker is built around one job: getting every employee's training records and certifications tracked, current, and audit-ready for OSHA, FDA, ISO, and SQF, without paying for a platform's worth of features you won't touch.
This article compares the two head-to-head on training and certificate tracking specifically, and breaks down what a 100-person SME manufacturer would realistically pay for each.
MakerComply's training tracker exists to solve one specific, painful problem: workers not updating their own certifications, and safety managers manually chasing paperwork and re-keying it into a spreadsheet. Every training or certificate a worker uploads from their phone automatically refreshes the underlying training status report and skill matrix, with no separate reporting step and no re-entry.
SafetyCulture/Mitti's training and performance-tracking tools sit inside a much larger platform whose primary use case is digitized inspections, checklists, and audits, with training, asset management,lone-worker safety, and IoT sensor monitoring layered on as additional modules. That breadth is valuable if you need all of it. But it also means the free tier is designed to showcase the whole platform, not to fully solve certificate tracking on its own, and pricing scales by seat across the entire platform, not just the training piece.
This is the detail that matters most for a growing SME: SafetyCulture/Mitti's Free plan is capped at up to 10 seats, with basic training and five active inspection templates included. The moment your training-tracking needs cover more than 10 employees, which is most manufacturing floors, you're required to move to a paid Premium plan.
MakerComply's free Training Tracker, by contrast, covers 10 trainings and 5 certificates for up to 100 users at $0/month. For a plant with 20, 50, or even 100 employees, that's the entire training and certification workload handled at no cost, not a trial, not a capped pilot.
SafetyCulture/Mitti's Premium plan, the tier required once you're past 10 seats, is priced per seat, per month:
That's the per-seat rate. It applies to every tracked user, not just a training-specific license. Here's what that works out to at typical SME manufacturer headcounts:
For a 100-person manufacturer, that's a difference ofroughly $28,800 to $34,800 a year, before factoring in that most of what you're paying for on the Mitti side is a broader inspections/operations platform, not additional training-tracking depth.
If your plant eventually needs more than 10 active training courses or 5 certificates tracked, MakerComply's Training Tracker Pro is priced to stay well below enterprise per-seat platform pricing. It adds capacity to the same self-serve worker portal rather than upgrading you into a full inspections-and-operations suite you may not need.
Choose SafetyCulture/Mitti if: you need one platform to run frontline inspections, audits, asset management, lone-worker safety, and IoT monitoring across a multi-site operation, and training tracking is just one piece of a much larger operational picture you're willing to pay per-seat for.
Choose MakerComply if: your immediate, concrete problem is getting employee training records and certifications out of spreadsheets and paper files and into a system your workers will actually keep updated, without paying enterprise per-seat pricing for modules you don't need.
SafetyCulture/Mitti is a capable, well-established platform, and its breadth is a real advantage for organizations that need inspections, audits, and operations management under one roof. But for a small-to-medium manufacturer whose most urgent compliance gap is training and certificate tracking, that breadth comes at a cost, literally. At 100 employees, the difference between the two is tens of thousands of dollars a year for capability most SME manufacturers won't fully use.
