Side by side
| SafetyCulture (Mitti) | PortalBase | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An operations system for sites and shifts: inspections, issues, assets, sensors, training and more. | One system for frontline teams: training, forms, inspections, safety records and corrective actions, in one app and one web app. |
| Offline | Inspections and training both say they work offline and sync later. | Training, forms and inspections work with no signal and sync when the phone is back in range. |
| Sign-in for crews | Company single sign-on, and a username login by link or QR code for workers with no company email. | Company single sign-on, a text code, an employee ID and PIN, or a QR badge on a shared device. |
| AI | Lists an AI assistant, AI issue capture and agents. | An assistant that answers from your company's own documents (needs signal). A Claude connector is listed in Claude's directory, and ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot connectors are submitted for review. Each connection acts only as the person who signed in. |
| Sensors, lone worker, contractors | Lists sensors and IoT, lone worker monitoring and contractor management. | Not part of PortalBase today. |
| Languages | Courses can be translated into 100+ languages. | English and Spanish. |
"The page we read doesn't say" means just that. It doesn't mean they don't. Check with SafetyCulture (Mitti) for anything that matters to you. Read October 28, 2026.
