Include the whole team in the cost
GoCanvas publishes user-based prices and a three-user minimum. BasinCheck plans include unlimited users and vary by monthly field-record volume. Estimate active users and monthly submissions before comparing totals.
Price the same scope before comparing totals
GoCanvas lists Essentials at $29, Pro at $39 and Max at $49 per user per month, billed annually with a three-user minimum. For 20 paid Max users, the subscription is $11,760 per year before taxes and additional services. Follow-Up Tasks are listed on Max; confirm your required package and licensing.
Founding Customer monthly prices, subject to availability and eligibility: Starter $149 for 50 field records; Standard $299 for 150; Pro $599 for unlimited field records. All include unlimited users. Check the pricing page for current availability, regular rates and annual options. Tailored onboarding and custom development require an agreed scope and quote. Check current BasinCheck pricing.
A comparable first-year total includes the subscription for the required seats or record volume, implementation, data migration, training, integrations and contracted support. Mark an unquoted item as unknown, rather than assigning a guessed fee. Ask for renewal pricing separately.
Rollout time depends on the agreed scope, data and acceptance tests. Ask both vendors to commit to milestones for your pilot. This page does not establish that either vendor deploys faster.
Which team fits each product?
Keep GoCanvas on the shortlist when
You need configurable forms, dispatch and workflows across several field processes, including work outside safety.
Consider BasinCheck when
Your priority is safety inspections, JSAs, incident records and follow-up, with existing documents mapped to an agreed scope.
Choose a wider platform when your requirements include full occupational health, environmental, quality or sustainability programs. Configurable templates do not establish that BasinCheck covers those disciplines.
Keep the structure your crew already knows
Start with the documents you use today. In tailored onboarding, we map each form to the right record type, agree the wording and section order, and review a completed example with your supervisors. A JSA should keep its job steps, hazards and controls. An inspection should keep the questions and document references your team relies on.
Bring one change you expect to need after rollout, such as a customer-specific report field or approval step. Discuss it directly with BasinCheck's founder and agree the scope, cost and acceptance test. As your crew starts using the forms, bring their feedback to the same person who helps shape the product.
For oilfield work, test an SPCC inspection through evidence capture and corrective-action closeout. SPCC inspection records support your existing plan; BasinCheck does not author or certify that plan. H₂S Release plume mapping snapshots are available through organization-enabled beta access for screening and drills. They do not replace gas monitors, contingency plans or emergency response procedures.

Use a real workflow as the acceptance test
- Map the same form and compare the exported PDF.
- Test offline completion, photos and synchronization.
- Demonstrate assigned follow-up and required OSHA outputs on the quoted plan.
For a customization request, record when the vendor accepted the scope, the quoted cost, the promised delivery date and the actual accepted result. Compare the same change in both products. An easy template edit and a new integration are different jobs.
Before switching
Inventory templates, open actions, incident records, photos, assets and retention obligations. Test one exported record and its evidence before importing a full history. Agree field mapping, permissions, migration cost and rollback. A successful pilot does not prove that every historic record transfers automatically.
Sources and evidence limits
Official product and pricing pages establish published scope, not measured usability or implementation performance. Unconfirmed capabilities are questions for a demo, not missing-feature claims. Prices, package boundaries and availability can change.

When should a team choose GoCanvas?

Is BasinCheck a full enterprise EHS replacement?
No. BasinCheck focuses on inspections, corrective actions, incidents and OSHA 300/300A documentation. Keep a wider suite on your shortlist if you need occupational health, environmental reporting, quality management or complex corporate governance.
Can BasinCheck preserve our existing paper forms?
Bring your inspection checklists, JSA documents and reporting requirements to founder-led onboarding. We map them into suitable BasinCheck workflows and review the wording, sections and outputs with your supervisors. Agree scope, cost and acceptance criteria. This does not promise exact PDF layout reproduction or automatic conversion of every document.
How does BasinCheck save unfinished drafts?
Created online draft audits already autosave checklist statuses and notes. Supported offline audit, JSA and incident editors save drafts on your device. We are finalizing expanded automatic draft saving for additional record forms. Until that rollout is complete, use Save Draft where available and check the save status before leaving a form. Saving a draft does not submit it or complete an approval.
