Auditus vs Fulcrum

Auditus is audit, inspection, and checklist software for businesses that need to carry out checks and follow up on findings. Teams can build mobile-friendly forms with a drag-and-drop template builder or adapt paper checklists and spreadsheets. Inspections can be completed online or offline on iOS, Android, and Windows smartphones and tablets. Forms support annotated photos, notes, digital signatures, guidance notes, and question tags. Users can assign or reallocate actions, attach photographic evidence, and set triggers for automatic notifications. A dashboard gives real-time views of inspection frequency, performance, compliance issues, and action status. Named integrations include Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox; APIs are also available. Auditus says stored information is encrypted and it follows UK data protection legislation. Premium costs £12.99 per month and includes 1,500 audits or inspections per year, 10 templates, PDF export, and support 9am–5pm Monday to Friday. A 30-day trial is offered. Audit templates can only be created online, though audits can be performed in the mobile app.
