# How Paddl compares Canonical: https://paddl-ai.co/compare Last reviewed: 2026-09-11 by the Paddl team Paddl against Trail, Alert65, FoodDocs, SafetyCulture, RotaCloud, Deputy and 19 more: published prices, review scores and feature lists, each with the date it was checked. ## In one sentence Paddl is food safety, compliance and operations software for UK hospitality: digital SFBB, HACCP plans, allergens and Natasha's Law labels, temperature, cleaning and training records, and an EHO-ready audit pack. £69 per location per month with every feature included, a 30-day free trial and no contract. Every comparison here is built the same way: the rival's published price or a sourced quote, its public review score, its published feature list against Paddl's, and the date each was checked.
