SafetyCulture charges per user. CargoLens charges per site with unlimited users. For teams over 25 people, the math is simple.
Both platforms handle inspections. The difference is who they were built for and how much you pay as your team grows.
SafetyCulture Premium costs $24 per user per month. CargoLens Pro is $599 per site per month, no matter how many users you add.
At 25 users, CargoLens breaks even. Above that, you save more every month.
| Team Size | SafetyCulture/mo | CargoLens/mo | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 users | $240 | $599 | SafetyCulture is $359/mo less |
| 20 users | $480 | $599 | SafetyCulture is $119/mo less |
| 25 users | $600 | $599 | $1/mo with CargoLens |
| 30 users | $720 | $599 | $121/mo with CargoLens |
| 50 users | $1,200 | $599 | $601/mo with CargoLens |
| 100 users | $2,400 | $599 | $1,801/mo with CargoLens |
That is $601/mo you keep by choosing flat-rate pricing over per-user fees. The gap widens with every new hire.
SafetyCulture is a general-purpose safety and compliance platform. CargoLens is purpose-built for logistics inspections.

Yes. SafetyCulture Premium is $24/user/month billed annually. They have a free tier for very small teams (up to 10 users with limited features), but most real operations need Premium. At 25 users, that is $600/mo, which is about the same as CargoLens with unlimited users.
For very small teams, SafetyCulture may be cheaper on paper. But consider this: CargoLens includes freight-specific workflows, an eDVIR workflow, and direct founder support at $599/mo. With SafetyCulture at $240/mo, you get a general-purpose tool without logistics-specific features. If you plan to grow, CargoLens scales without pricing surprises.
