OneBlink vs iAuditor:
Inspection tools compared

Both platforms offer generous entry-level plans, with SafetyCulture iAuditor providing strong value for teams conducting inspections within the confines of its templated structure. Unlimited forms and generous storage make it a practical starting point for organisations focused purely on safety and audit workflows.

However, OneBlink goes further, not only offering unlimited forms, submissions, and builder access, but doing so in a way that scales more flexibly across internal teams. With no licensing restrictions on the number of users who can build or use forms, OneBlink allows broader team collaboration and faster rollout of custom inspection processes.

SafetyCulture iAuditor covers the essentials for inspection form creation, with 15 field types and support for conditional logic, signatures, and basic calculations. It offers a good toolkit for linear inspection workflows, particularly in field-based environments where templates remain relatively consistent.

OneBlink, by comparison, gives teams significantly more power, offering 38 field types, rich validation (including regex), and dynamic logic. Its ability to embed forms without branding, import from PDFS, and build public-facing versions makes it a far more flexible form builder beyond just inspections.

iAuditor’s single-step approval feature is helpful for teams that require supervisor sign-off before closing out an inspection. It also supports post-inspection tasks through its built-in Actions module, making it well suited for basic audit loops.

OneBlink builds on this with support for multi-step approvals, submission event triggers, and calendar-based workflows. It allows actions to be automated at any point in the process - draft, submission, or post-approval - and integrates seamlessly into broader operational workflows, which can involve compliance teams, field crews, and management.

iAuditor provides mobile apps built for field-based inspections, with offline support. It's highly effective for teams in regulated industries conducting scheduled checks or audits in remote areas.

OneBlink matches this with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) that work across any device, with or without an app store download, and offers both online and offline capabilities. The added flexibility to control user access, support public users, and customise app branding gives OneBlink a distinct advantage for organisations deploying form-based apps beyond inspections.

While iAuditor offers useful inspection features such as PDF report generation, template archiving, and form versioning, these are often tied to the inspection use case. PDF conversion, for example, is a manual service requiring support team involvement.

OneBlink enables more autonomy, giving users self-serve tools to convert PDFS into smart forms, create reusable templates, manage versions, and even apply advanced input rules using regex. The ability to embed contextual data and configure multi-stage form logic makes OneBlink a more robust platform for inspection and audit scenarios that evolve over time.

iAuditor does not support the hosting of custom APIs or front-end extensions like CDN-hosted solutions. All forms are delivered through iAuditors mobile app.

OneBlink offers a full developer suite, with environment support (dev/test/prod), API hosting, and developer SDKs that allow complete extensibility. From custom triggers and webhooks to the creation of external interfaces, OneBlink gives technical teams more tools to build bespoke inspection and audit workflows.

Both platforms are hosted on AWS and meet global security benchmarks, including ISO 27001 certification and multi-factor authentication support. iAuditor also provides regional data storage options aligned with data sovereignty requirements, ensuring compliance in regulated industries.

Where OneBlink stands out is in its platform flexibility. Security configurations can extend to granular permissioning and access control, all while maintaining compliance with leading security standards.

SafetyCulture iAuditor includes some accessibility support via mobile operating systems, but it does not claim WCAG compliance or provide a detailed VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template). This may limit its suitability in jurisdictions or agencies where digital accessibility is a requirement.

OneBlink is designed to meet accessibility standards by default, ensuring that all form users, including those using assistive technologies, have a consistent experience.
