SmartQHSE vs RestShade

A shop file, not a QHSE platform SmartQHSE lists 150+ HSE modules and an AI agent. RestShade has one job: heat and wildfire-smoke recordkeeping for outdoor work and work in hot indoor areas.
US state packs instead of GCC / ACGIH calculators SmartQHSE’s public heat tools emphasize ACGIH WBGT and UAE/Gulf summer rules. RestShade ships Cal/OSHA T8 3395 and 3396, OR and WA heat and smoke, plus other state packs and the OSHA Heat NEP.
Published shop pricing for 8 to 60 people Platform Essentials is $149/mo on SmartQHSE’s pricing page. RestShade Crew is $79/mo for 8 sites and 60 crew. ARIA Free is a real free copilot. It is not a US heat and smoke packet.
English and Spanish plans without a generator upsell RestShade generates HIIP and smoke plans in English and Spanish from the procedures you already use. SmartQHSE’s branded PDF and document generators sit on higher ARIA and platform plans.

Frequently asked questions

Is RestShade a SmartQHSE replacement? Only for heat and wildfire-smoke records. If you need permits, incidents, ISO 45001, or industrial hygiene sampling, SmartQHSE is a broader product. RestShade will not try to be that suite.
Does SmartQHSE handle heat stress? Yes. Public pages list WBGT-based ACGIH TLV assessments, a UAE/Gulf heat-index calculator, cool-down schedules, and acclimatisation programmes. That is not the same as RestShade’s CA/OR/WA duty lists with citations on a daily site log.
What does SmartQHSE cost? As of August 2026, smartqhse.com/pricing lists ARIA Free at $0, ARIA Plus at $49/mo ($41/mo yearly), ARIA Pro from $166/mo yearly, Platform Essentials at $149/mo, Professional at $499/mo, and Enterprise as custom. Confirm current rates with them.
Does RestShade use AI to write the plan? No. Plans are generated from your company procedures and the selected jurisdiction templates.
Can a small roofing shop use SmartQHSE anyway? If the shop wants a full QHSE platform and an AI copilot, yes. If the shop needs Tuesday’s temperature, shade duties, and a packet for the consultant, RestShade is the smaller tool.
