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.

Rated5 and Get Lemon both handle fridge and freezer temperatures, cooking logs, deliveries and daily checklists — that part is table stakes. Where Rated5 pulls ahead is everything built specifically on the FSA’s Safer Food Better Business structure around those daily checks: guided corrective actions that walk your team through exactly what to do when a reading goes wrong, versioned safe-methods sign-off that re-prompts staff automatically when anything changes, training records tracked to expiry, and a proper document filing cabinet for certificates and servicing records.

Get Lemon’s own published feature list doesn’t cover corrective-action workflows beyond basic issue flagging, safe methods, tamper-evident record-keeping, or team roles — areas where Rated5 has dedicated, structured functionality built in from day one.

On price, Rated5 is £14.99/month (or £144/year, working out at £12/month) per premises — lower than Get Lemon’s £19/location/month flat rate — while covering considerably more ground.

Why choose Rated5 over Get Lemon

Rated5 gives you everything Get Lemon does, plus the parts of compliance that actually protect your business when it matters — guided corrective actions, versioned safe-methods sign-off, training tracked to expiry, document storage and a read-only inspection view — all built on the FSA's own Safer Food Better Business structure, for £14.99/month rather than £19. There's simply more compliance cover here for less money.
