Every Run a Checklist
In CheckFlow a procedure is a template, and each time it runs it becomes a checklist, with every task and field saved with who completed it and when.
Learn MoreScribe Alternative for Running SOPs
Scribe writes the guide. CheckFlow runs the process.
Scribe captures how you do something on screen and turns it into a step-by-step guide. When a written procedure has to be carried out again and again, by named people, in order, with a record of each run, CheckFlow is built for that: checklists with assignees, due dates, approvals, conditional logic and recurring schedules, from $10 per user per month.

Why Teams Run Their SOPs in CheckFlow
Scribe is a documentation tool: it records clicks and screenshots and turns them into guides and SOP pages, a fast way to write down how software is used. Its Tasks plan the writing of guides, and its approvals come before a guide is published. Neither runs the procedure itself.
CheckFlow is built for the run, at $10 per user per month. Here is where it differs.
Owners and Due Dates on Every Step
Each task is assigned to people or groups and given a due date by rules, and they are notified when it is theirs and alerted when it is overdue.
Learn MoreRecurring Procedures
Schedule a checklist to start daily, weekly, monthly or on a custom cadence, with its tasks assigned automatically, so the weekly check runs without anyone starting it.
Learn MoreApprovals and Steps in Order
Mark a task as halted and nothing after it can be completed until it, and every task before it, is done. Approval steps can be completed only by the approver, with the decision recorded.
Learn MoreCapture the Answers, Not Just the Steps
Each task can hold any of 19 field types, from dates and drop-downs to file uploads, tables and members, so the procedure records the serial number, the screenshot or the decision as it runs.
Learn MoreKeep Your Guides Where the Work Happens
An Embed control shows a web page inside a task, so a step can display the Scribe guide for it, where the guide can be embedded, and the person completing the step records the result beside it.
Learn MoreAI That Builds the Checklist
Generate with AI turns a description, or a document such as an exported SOP, into a template with tasks and fields. The free AI template generator does it without an account.
Learn MoreWhy Teams Look for a Scribe Alternative
These are the reasons teams give when documented procedures still aren’t followed.
A guide is read, not run
A Scribe guide shows how to do something. It doesn’t assign the work to a person, give it a due date or record that it was done on this run, so a missed step is found when something goes wrong.
Completion means reading
Scribe tracks who viewed a guide and whether they completed it. That shows the guide was read, not that the procedure was carried out.
Recurring work needs a start
A weekly check or a month-end close has to begin on time. Scribe documents how it is done; something else has to make it happen.
Where Scribe is genuinely stronger. Scribe is the better tool for documenting how software is used. It captures steps and screenshots automatically from the browser or desktop, redacts sensitive data, exports to PDF, HTML, Markdown and Word, translates guides and turns them into on-screen walkthroughs, and it meets SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA. CheckFlow has no screen capture. Many teams use both: Scribe to write the guide, CheckFlow to run the procedure.
