Key Features
Why switch to Scafflinq?
Inspect7 was a genuine step up from paper tags when it launched; the on-device countdown display is a nice touch. But NFC hardware ties you to specific phone models and a dedicated app just to scan. Scafflinq keeps the same digital record-keeping and drops the hardware dependency.
Compatibility & Access
Works with the phone already in your pocket
QR scans with any smartphone camera — no NFC chip, no compatible-device list to check
- Anyone — client, site visitor, principal contractor — can scan and see status without installing an app or logging in
- No battery to fail, no device to replace if damaged
Cost & Admin
Pay for scaffolds, not seats
Pay-as-you-go pricing tied to active/on-hire tags — stop paying automatically when a scaffold is dismantled
- Unlimited users and projects included at every level, instead of tiered caps that push you toward a £399+/month plan as you grow
- First 5 tags free for life, with handover certificates and branding included from day one rather than gated behind a top-tier plan
