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.
