Published prices start at $8.90 per user per month and reach $270 per user per month for a full-access seat, entry-level plans average $22 a month and mid-tier plans $113, and most vendors bill per user._ A quality management system gives teams one place for audits, corrective actions, controlled documents, and training logs, so records stay organized and audit-ready. Pricing models vary across platforms: some charge per seat, others per company, and plans differ in which modules, templates, and support they include. This guide draws on recent verified Capterra reviews and the current pricing pages of five highly rated products from the [Capterra Shortlist for quality management software](https://www.capterra.com/quality-management-software/shortlist/). Read on to see what buyers pay, what a good plan includes, and how to pick the model that fits your budget. ## Compare quality management software pricing at a glance The table below compares pricing across five top-rated quality management platforms based on publicly available vendor data as of October 2026. | Product | Free version | Free trial | Entry-level | Mid-tier | High-end | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/pricing/) | Yes | 15 days | $8.90 | $38.90 | $76.20 | | [Mitti (by SafetyCulture)](https://www.capterra.com/p/141080/iAuditor/pricing/) | Yes | 30 days | $29 | Custom quote | NA | | [EHS Insight](https://www.capterra.com/p/101454/EHS-Management-Software/pricing/)\* | No | Yes | $5,000 | Custom quote | NA | | [Isolocity](https://www.capterra.com/p/148633/Isolocity/pricing/) | No | Not published | $39 | $270 | NA | | [GoAudits](https://www.capterra.com/p/191777/GoAudits/pricing/)\* | No | 14 days | $12 | $30 | NA | _\*Indicates pricing is billed annually._ _"NA" indicates that the vendor does not offer the respective pricing tier._ _"Custom quote" indicates that the tier is available but comes with customized pricing._ * * * ## Quality management software pricing by product [**Odoo**](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/pricing/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty - **Capterra rating** **(last two years)****:** 4.2/5 (510 reviews) - **User review summary:** Reviewers like the free plan for one app and the single price that covers all apps. They find the setup fees high, and say it is not obvious that adding a second app means you have to pay. - **Bottom line:** Best for buyers who want quality management as part of a wider business platform and have a budget set aside for setup. [**Mitti (by SafetyCulture)**](https://www.capterra.com/p/141080/iAuditor/pricing/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty - **Capterra rating** **(last two years)****:** 4.7/5 (236 reviews) - **User review summary:** Reviewers like how well Mitti works on a phone for inspections and rate its value highly. The cost rises as a team grows, because Premium is priced per seat, and a few reviewers say it is hard to justify if you only use some of the features. Some found the free plan too limited. - **Bottom line:** A good choice for buyers who start on the free plan (up to 10 people) or pay only for the staff who run inspections. [**EHS Insight**](https://www.capterra.com/p/101454/EHS-Management-Software/pricing/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty - **Capterra rating** **(last two years)****:** 4.7/5 (77 reviews) - **User review summary:** Reviewers rate EHS Insight's value highly, and several say it costs less than similar platforms for what you get. Others find the yearly starting price high and the first setup complicated. - **Bottom line:** Suits buyers who want environmental, health, and safety tools alongside quality management and are ready for an annual contract. [**Isolocity**](https://www.capterra.com/p/148633/Isolocity/pricing/) - **Capterra rating** **(last two years)****:** 4.6/5 (38 reviews) - **User review summary:** Reviewers rate Isolocity's value very highly, and none scored it low. They like that the per-user price includes every module and that implementation and training are free. Their complaints are a dated design and a few missing modules, not cost. - **Bottom line:** Best for buyers who want every module for one per-seat price, with onboarding included. [**GoAudits**](https://www.capterra.com/p/191777/GoAudits/) #### Trial/Free Version - Free Trial - Free Version #### Device Compatibilty - **Capterra rating** **(last two years)****:** 4.8/5 (28 reviews) - **User review summary:** Reviewers like that GoAudits is easy to use, produces professional reports instantly, and has quick support, and they rate its value highly. Some found creating a new audit template fiddly. - **Bottom line:** Worth a look for buyers who mainly need audits and inspections at a low per-seat price. ## How much does quality management software cost in 2026? Based on the five vendor-published platforms in this guide, quality management software costs from $8.90 to $39 per user, per month at the entry level, from Odoo's Light users to Isolocity's Production users. EHS Insight is the exception, pricing per company from $5,000 a year. The range comes from how vendors structure their plans: by user type at Odoo and Isolocity, by plan tier at GoAudits and Mitti, and by employee count and modules at EHS Insight. Cost scales primarily with the number of paid seats, followed by plan tier and the modules a vendor bundles. Key finding Reviewers rated value for money 4.51 out of 5 on average across the five products in this guide. That score holds across very different pricing models: Isolocity and GoAudits rate highest for value, while Odoo, the most-reviewed product, rates lowest, a reminder that value for money depends on what a plan includes, not only on its price. ## How quality management software pricing works Quality management software is sold in three ways: per seat, per company, or by custom quote. Per-seat billing is the norm here, with four of the five products (GoAudits, Isolocity, Mitti, and Odoo) charging per user each month, while EHS Insight prices per company, and Mitti and EHS Insight sell their top plans by custom quote. Each approach grows differently as a team expands, so compare what a plan costs at your headcount, not only its starting price. | Pricing model | How it scales | Best fit | Watch out for | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Per user, per month | Cost rises with each paid seat; some vendors price seat types differently | Teams with a known, stable headcount | Seat counts that outgrow the original plan; monthly billing costs more than annual billing | | Per company, per year | Cost rises with employees, contractors, and modules selected | Teams that want one annual budget line | Annual commitment; added modules raise the total | | Custom quote (per location or enterprise) | Fixed price per site or a negotiated contract | Multi-site teams that add casual or seasonal users | No published price to compare; quotes vary with scope | ## What affects quality management software pricing? The number of paid seats drives quality management software pricing most, with billing term, plan tier, bundled modules, and implementation support shaping the rest. - **Billing term:** Annual billing lowers the per-seat price. Mitti charges $24 instead of $29, Isolocity charges $220 instead of $270 per Full User seat, and GoAudits charges $10 instead of $12 per Starter seat. - **Seat type:** Isolocity charges $39 for Production seats and nothing for Basic employee seats, against $270 monthly for Full seats. Odoo charges $8.90 for Light users, who get restricted self-service access such as time off or expenses. - **Plan tier:** Odoo's Custom plan costs about twice its Standard plan ($76.20 against $38.90 per user per month) because it adds Studio, multi-company support, and an external API. - **Bundled modules:** EHS Insight prices by the number of modules selected, while Isolocity includes every module in the seat price. - **Implementation support:** Isolocity includes implementation, training, and support at no cost. Odoo reviewers report setup fees as a separate and sizable line. ## Free plan vs. paid plan: what buyers actually get Two of the five products offer a permanent free plan. Free quality management plans cover basic inspections for a capped number of users, while paid plans unlock unlimited templates, advanced analytics, and integrations. Mitti's free plan supports up to 10 seats, five active templates, and basic analytics. Its Premium plan adds unlimited templates, advanced analytics, permissions, integrations, and single sign-on. Odoo's free plan covers unlimited users on one app, and installing a second app moves the account onto a paid plan. Free plans fall short for growing teams on three points: user caps, template limits, and the single-app limit. One Mitti reviewer calls the free version limited, and the jump to a paid plan changes the budget from zero to a per-seat bill. GoAudits and EHS Insight offer free trials in place of a free plan, and Isolocity does not publish a trial. Capterra lists free options separately on its [free quality management software](https://www.capterra.com/quality-management-software/s/free/) page. ## Hidden costs to budget for Implementation fees, hosting charges, extra seats, and add-on modules are the main hidden costs in quality management software pricing. Odoo reviewers report setup fees as a large separate line, Odoo.sh hosting is billed apart from the user license, and Mitti sells extra AI credits and onboarding services as add-ons. Tip “Before you sign, ask each vendor what your price becomes at renewal and when you add seats or modules.” | Cost type | Per-seat plans | Per-company plans | | --- | --- | --- | | Added seats or users | Yes | Sometimes | | Paid add-ons or extra modules | Sometimes | Yes | | Implementation and onboarding | Sometimes | Sometimes | | Hosting for custom code | Sometimes | Not published | | Usage or AI credit packs | Yes | Not published | ## My take on quality management software pricing I treat the five prices above as a floor for your budget, not a ceiling, because seat growth and implementation cost shape the final bill more than the sticker price does. Reviewers rate value highly across these products and still flag setup fees and per-seat bills that climb with headcount. The buyers who handle this best set a budget early: in [Capterra’s 2026 Software Buying Trends Report](https://www.capterra.com/resources/software-buying-trends-2026/), 62% of successful adopters defined their budget and must-have features up front, against 48% of disappointed buyers. **Next step:** Write down your budget, your must-have features, and the number of people who need full access today, then request quotes from two vendors that list implementation and training in writing. ## Frequently asked questions How much does QMS software cost?

All ratings and review counts reflect data as of the time of publication. To determine the category price ranges and averages, I consider the pricing of products that meet the following criteria. - Considered products must qualify as quality management software by meeting our category definition: software that tracks and controls product defects, maintains documentation for audits, and supports adherence to compliance requirements. - Offer core quality management software features, including audit management, document control, and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). - Have pricing information publicly available. The products in this guide qualified for the most recent [Shortlist for quality management software](https://www.capterra.com/quality-management-software/#shortlist), and were highly rated by users. Only products with publicly available pricing information were included in this table; ComplianceQuest, Propel, and Genius ERP all appear on the 2026 Shortlist but were dropped from this guide because none of those vendors publishes pricing on its own site, only Capterra's own estimate. I summarized publicly available pricing sources, including vendor websites, as of October 2026, starting with the lowest monthly pricing for packages that include core functionality for a specific software category. I list pricing for more advanced packages (per user, when available) that include the core software feature(s) and additional benefits. Your company's needs may differ, and final pricing may vary. **Survey:** Survey data cited in this article is from Capterra’s 2026 Software Buying Trends Survey conducted in August 2025 among 3,385 software decision-makers in 11 countries. The goal of the study was to understand the timelines, organizational challenges, research behaviors, and adoption processes of business software buyers. Respondents were screened for involvement in business software purchasing decisions. **Editorial independence:** Products are selected and ranked based on an objective methodology. While some vendors may pay Capterra when they receive web traffic or leads, this does not influence our selection or analysis.
