Should you leave Notify?
Notify is a good product with clear strengths: every employee can report incidents from its app at no extra cost, and every customer gets onboarding and a dedicated customer success manager. If you want a supplier alongside you through a long rollout, that’s worth paying for. OpSemble seats are per person who uses Health & Safety, so count who would actually need one before you compare prices.
The reason most people search for a Notify alternative is the contract, not the software. Notify says on its own pricing page that most customers initially join on a three-to-five-year contract. That’s a long commitment for a small business, and a long time to live with a decision made from a demo.
OpSemble runs the other way round. The price is on the website, billing is monthly, and the trial is the product itself for 14 days. Health & Safety is £9 per user per month on top of the £29 platform fee, so a 25-person team is £254 a month before VAT, with incidents and RIDDOR deadlines, RAMS, COSHH, permits, contractors, toolbox talks and an ISO 45001 register.
The records also link to the rest of the business. An incident links the risk assessments and toolbox talks in force at the time, training completions update the HR record, and contractors get one portal invite that covers their insurances, RAMS and inductions.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum contract?
No. Subscriptions run monthly and can be cancelled at any time, taking effect at the end of the current billing period. Early customers lock in their rate.
Is there an implementation fee?
No. We open your account with your chosen modules and one free admin login, so you can import your data and build your workflows first. Your monthly price starts when you add your second user.
Does OpSemble track RIDDOR deadlines?
Yes. Reportable incidents go onto a pending list with their statutory RIDDOR deadlines, and an incident can’t be closed until its investigation is reviewed and signed off.
Can I import my risk assessments?
Yes. Existing risk assessment PDFs import into the register.
What does it cost for a 25-person team?
£29/month platform fee plus £9 per user for Health & Safety: £254 a month before VAT. Seats are per module, so only the people who use it are charged.
