TrainedTeam vs Trainual
Trainual documents your business and trains your team well. TrainedTeam does that too — and proves procedures were followed on the floor, with photo evidence.
Where Trainual ends and TrainedTeam begins
Proof of work, not just knowledge
Trainual documents processes and tests that people have read them. TrainedTeam adds guided run execution with photo evidence and notes captured at the moment work happens — so you can prove a procedure was followed, not just acknowledged.
Turn a video into an SOP
Record or paste a walkthrough video and TrainedTeam's AI builds a structured, testable step-by-step instruction. Trainual lets you embed and record video, but does not convert a recording into written steps.
Start free, scale on flat public pricing
TrainedTeam is free forever for up to 5 users, and Pro is flat-rate by team size with no per-seat fees — prices published on our site. Trainual is seat-based, billed annually, has no free plan, and no longer publishes prices: as of July 2026 quotes come via a sales demo, with a stated one-time $1,000 implementation fee.
Regulator-mapped templates for the UK and US
TrainedTeam ships full-text compliance templates mapped to named regulations — HSE, ACAS, RIDDOR, COSHH, and UK GDPR in the UK; OSHA programs and the FDA Food Code in the US. Trainual's 500+ template library is strong for general business processes, but it is not mapped to specific regulators.

Which should you choose?
Choose TrainedTeam if…
- You want templates mapped to your regulators — HSE, ACAS, and UK GDPR in the UK; OSHA and the FDA Food Code in the US.
- You need proof procedures were followed — photo-verified runs, e-signatures, and audit trails — not just read receipts.
- You want to turn recorded walkthrough videos into structured, testable SOPs with AI.
- You want to start free (up to 5 users) and scale on flat-rate, publicly listed pricing with no per-seat fees.
Choose Trainual if…
- You want an operations suite around training — meetings, goals, scorecards, and role charts — in the same product.
- Deep HRIS and payroll integrations are a hard requirement for your onboarding flow.
- You lean heavily on role charts and responsibility mapping as your organising model.
- You are already running established processes in Trainual and the switching cost outweighs the gaps.
Both platforms document processes, generate content with AI, and train teams well. The real split is proof and pricing: Trainual suits larger teams that want an operations suite and deep HRIS integrations, and its sales-led pricing reflects that. TrainedTeam is built for teams that need frontline execution evidence — not just acknowledgment that a page was read — on flat, public pricing you can start on today.
