How PaperFlow Compares
Fire safety software, side by side. No spin — just the numbers and the facts.
Which platform are you coming from?
Uptick
Paying over $1,000/month?
A good platform at a high price. See how a 5-person team saves $12,000-15,000 in Year 1.

Trapped in a 36-month contract?
Role-based pricing, annual increases, exit fees. There's a simpler way.

Great for tradies, not for fire compliance
Solid general trades tool. No AS1851, no fire-specific compliance features.
See full comparison →AroFlo
Solid platform, but generic
No fire safety features, 5-person minimum, and owned by the same investors as Simpro.
