Why teams outgrow Workhub
Four reasons crews choose TruStar Connect
Pricing you can actually read
Our plans are published. No "request a quote", no demo gate. You know the number before you ever talk to us.
The whole platform on every plan
Nothing is gated behind a higher tier. You choose how many workers you cover, not which features you unlock.
AI root cause, built in
Every investigation runs the TruStar Method with an independent bias audit. Not just digital forms, the whole program.
Canadian, COR and SECOR native
Forged on working Canadian job sites and used to run a real field program every day. Hosted in Canada and mapped to the COR and SECOR standards you are audited against.
Side by side
TruStar Connect vs Workhub
Both are Canadian, and both publish their pricing, which already puts Workhub ahead of most of the market. The real difference is scope: compliance basics at a low per-user rate, or the whole safety and operations program at one flat price.
| What matters | TruStar Connect | Workhub |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | Published on our website. Read the plans and start without talking to sales. | Published too, to their credit: a free basic tier and a paid plan listed at about US$3 (roughly CA$4) per user per month. |
| How you are billed | One flat monthly price by worker band. Add crew within your band at no extra cost. | Per user per month with a small minimum. Inexpensive, but the subscription covers compliance basics rather than the whole program. |
| What each plan includes | The entire platform on every plan: investigations with AI root cause, permits, scheduling, daily reports, COR readiness, and more. | All components included in the one price, and that scope is training, policies, certificates, meetings, inspections, and observations. |
| Getting started | Self-serve 14-day free trial of the whole platform. No credit card, no sales call. | Self-serve as well, with a free tier. Genuinely easy to start; the question is how far it takes the program. |
| COR and SECOR readiness | Purpose-built readiness module mapped to the current audit standard, with live readiness scoring. | Certificate tracking, policies, and meetings that support a COR program, but no scored readiness module mapped to the audit standard. |
| Root cause investigation | AI root cause built in, with an independent bias audit and six frameworks, no proprietary lock-in. | Incident reporting and behaviour observations, not a structured investigation and root cause suite. Reviewers also note the lack of a multi-level sign-off chain. |
| Permits, scheduling, daily reports | Permits to work with QR monitoring, crew scheduling with fatigue flags, and daily reports with a branded PDF, all included. | Not part of the component list. These stay in spreadsheets, on paper, or in another tool. |
| Training | Training matrix by role, site, and project, expiry alerts, the digital One Card, and structured mentorship through to graduation sign-off. | A built-in library of awareness-level courses is a real strength, though reviewers note course-player limits and role-based-only assignment. |
| Offline in the field | The whole app works offline: forms, inspections, permits, and reports complete with no signal and sync automatically when coverage returns. | A web-first tool. Full offline capture is not part of its advertised feature set, so dead zones can mean paper or waiting. Confirm current capabilities with the vendor. |
| Data residency | Hosted in Canada (ca-central-1). Built to align with PIPEDA and Alberta PIPA. | A Calgary company. Confirm hosting specifics with the vendor. |
| Who built it | Credentialed Canadian safety professionals (CHSC, GSC, NCSO, peer auditor) who run a real field program on it every day, not a product team guessing at site work. | A Canadian compliance software company serving small and mid-size businesses. |

The pricing difference
Flat price for your crew, not a fee for every name on it.
Workhub deserves credit here: its pricing is published and genuinely inexpensive, with a free basic tier and a paid plan listed at about US$3 (roughly CA$4) per user per month. For the compliance basics, it is one of the cheapest tools on the market.
The comparison is not the per-user rate, it is what the subscription covers. A low price for training, policies, and inspections still leaves investigations, permits, scheduling, daily reports, and COR readiness scoring somewhere else: a second tool, a consultant, or a spreadsheet. TruStar Connect prices the whole program flat, so there is nothing left over to buy or stitch together.
Worked example
A 100-worker operation
TruStar Connect, Pro plan
Covers 51 to 150 workers. Grow from 100 to 140 people and your price does not move.
Workhub, listed rate
At the listed rate of roughly CA$4 per user per month, 100 users is about CA$400 a month, and for compliance basics that is real value. The gap is what is not covered: investigations, permits, scheduling, daily reports, and COR readiness still have to live somewhere, and the second tool or consultant hours usually cost more than the difference.
More than forms
The whole program, in one login
Digital forms are table stakes. TruStar Connect adds the parts that usually live in a second tool, a spreadsheet, or an inbox, and brings them under one roof.
Investigations and AI root cause
Investigations that find the real cause.
Every incident runs the TruStar Method with an independent AI bias audit on the analysis, plus SCAT, ICAM, HFACS, 5 Whys, and Bowtie when you want them. This is the part most form-first tools leave to a separate product.
COR and SECOR readiness
Walk into the audit knowing your score.
A readiness module mapped to the current audit standard, with self-assessment, element-by-element scoring against the pass bar, certificate tracking, and a renewal countdown. Built for the standard you are actually measured against.
Full offline mode
No signal, no problem.
Complete forms, inspections, permits, and reports with no connection. Everything syncs the moment the crew is back in coverage, so remote sites are not a blind spot.
TruStar One Card
Every worker's tickets, one scan away.
A digital training card for each worker with a QR code anyone can scan to verify certifications at the gate. Print a wallet card or add it to a phone. Included on every plan.
Pricing, in the open

Every plan includes the entire platform. You are only choosing how many workers you cover.

Straight answers
Questions buyers ask us
Is TruStar Connect a real alternative to Workhub?
Yes. Workhub is a compliance and training tool; TruStar Connect is a complete safety and operations platform. It runs investigations with AI root cause, inspections and forms, permits, hazards, equipment, training, scheduling, daily reports, documents, and corrective actions in one place, with full offline support, and it is built around COR and SECOR from the ground up.
Is Workhub cheaper per user?
Per user, yes, and its pricing is published, which we respect. The difference is scope. The Workhub price covers training, policies, certificates, meetings, inspections, and observations. It does not run structured incident investigations, permits to work, crew scheduling, daily reports, or scored COR readiness. Once you price the second tool or the consultant hours those still need, one flat platform is usually the cheaper program.
Do I have to sit through a sales call to see your pricing?
No. Our pricing is published on this page and on our website. You can read the plans, pick the worker band that fits, and start a 14-day free trial yourself with no credit card and no sales call.
How is your pricing different from per-user safety software?
Per-user software charges for every worker you put on a licence, so the monthly bill climbs with your headcount. TruStar Connect uses one flat monthly price for a band of workers. You only move plans when you cross into the next band, which makes your cost predictable as crews grow and shrink.
What is included on each plan?
The entire platform is included on every plan. Nothing is locked behind a higher tier. You are only choosing how many workers you cover, not which features you get.
Can I move my existing forms and records over?
Yes. TruStar Connect includes an import option so you can bring your existing program and records in rather than starting from scratch.
Is my data stored in Canada?
Yes. TruStar Connect is hosted in Canada (ca-central-1) and is built to align with PIPEDA and Alberta PIPA. Your safety records stay on Canadian infrastructure.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The whole app works offline. Crews can complete forms, inspections, and reports without a signal, and everything syncs when they are back in coverage.
