See why Rated5 comes out ahead
Choosing food-safety software is worth getting right. Here's exactly how Rated5 stacks up against the other UK digital SFBB and food-safety apps on the market (price, structure, and what's actually included) so you can see for yourself why so much is built in as standard. Every fact is dated and sourced; if you spot something that's changed, tell us and we'll fix it.
Rated5 vs Get Lemon
Get Lemon covers the daily basics: temperatures, cooking logs, deliveries and checklists. Rated5 covers all of that too, then goes much further: the full FSA Safer Food Better Business structure, guided corrective actions, versioned safe methods sign-off and training records, all included as standard, for less than Get Lemon's flat fee.
Checked 17/07/2026Rated5 vs SFBB+
SFBB+ scans your existing paper SFBB pack into an app. Rated5 is a complete digital diary built on the same SFBB structure from the ground up (entered directly, not scanned in) with corrective actions, safe methods sign-off and training records that SFBB+ simply doesn't offer.
Checked 17/07/2026Rated5 vs Trail
Trail, part of The Access Group, is a broad hospitality operations platform where food safety is one module among many. Rated5 is dedicated food-safety software, built specifically on the FSA's Safer Food Better Business structure, at a fraction of Trail's price, with no contract.
Checked 17/07/2026Rated5 vs Hubl
Hubl gates its features behind tiered, partly quote-based pricing. Rated5 has one price, £14.99/month per premises, with the full FSA Safer Food Better Business structure, corrective actions, safe methods sign-off and training records included as standard, not locked behind a higher tier.
Checked 17/07/2026Rated5 vs food-safety.app
food-safety.app keeps every record on a single device, with no account and no cloud. Rated5 is a proper team diary: every entry attributed to a named person, accessible from any device, backed up off the phone it was entered on.
