GoAudits vs NextTask

GoAudits is an inspections platform with a mobile app and web portal for digitizing audits and operational standards. Teams can create checklists or adapt templates, then capture photos, annotations, signatures, timestamps and geolocation; the mobile app works online and offline on phones and tablets. The platform generates branded reports with evidence attached and can email them to selected team members. Users can schedule and assign inspections, monitor overdue audits, and manage corrective actions, alerts and reminders. Dashboards and reports show scores, location performance, historical trends and recurring issues. API access is listed, with documentation covering authentication, data, audits, actions and exports. Plans are billed annually and priced per user per month: Starter is $10 per user per month, while Enterprise is $30 per user per month. There is no free plan, but a 14-day trial is offered. GoAudits was founded in 2016 and supports Android, iOS, web and API access.

NextTask is an operations platform for retail chains, hospitality groups, and service businesses coordinating work across locations. Teams can assign store tasks, set priorities and deadlines, attach files, and track completion. Visual merchandising workflows include photo instructions, planogram distribution, and photo submissions for head-office review. Recurring unit counts can be scheduled and monitored as stores submit results in real time. Managers can send announcements to all stores or selected groups with read receipts and acknowledgements. Multiple retail chains or brands can be managed separately, keeping their data, tasks, and reporting distinct. Responsive smartphone and tablet access lets staff complete tasks, upload photos, and communicate with head office. Plans include training materials, tutorials, a knowledge base, and a video library. The Base Plan costs 250 ZAR a month, requires at least 10 users, includes 10GB storage, and excludes VAT. A 30-day trial supports up to three users.
