CheckFlow gives IT and HR teams a way to turn documented procedures into checklists that people actually run: enforced step order, recurring schedules, conditional logic, assignments with due dates and a log of every completed run. Pricing is per user and always published openly — from $10 per user per month.
Waybook is a knowledge base. It is good at holding a handbook people can read and confirm they have read. Teams look for an alternative when they need the procedure to be done, not just read: on a schedule, in order, by a named person, with proof it happened.
CheckFlow is built for that job, at $10 per user per month. Here are the top reasons teams make the switch.
In Waybook a team member reads the SOP and confirms they have read it. In CheckFlow they work through it step by step, in enforced order, filling in the fields, attaching the files and getting the approvals the process needs. Every run is logged with who did what and when.
Learn MoreWaybook has no recurring execution. CheckFlow starts a checklist automatically every Monday, every month end or every quarter, assigns it, chases it and records it, so the weekly backup check and the monthly access review happen without anyone remembering to start them.
Learn MoreA leaver who is a contractor skips the equipment return and goes to the contractor termination steps. A new starter on Mac gets different setup tasks from one on Windows. CheckFlow routes each run on the answers captured. Waybook shows everyone the same page.
Learn MoreCheckFlow assigns each step to a person or role, sets due dates, chases with reminders and escalates when something is overdue. Waybook has no task assignment or due dates, because reading a page has no owner in the way completing a step does.
Learn MoreContractors, clients and new hires before their start date can complete tasks in CheckFlow without a paid seat, on every plan. Waybook’s external sharing is limited by plan.
Learn MoreWaybook’s Core plan is $99 a month for 20 members, so a five-person team pays $19.80 a head. On CheckFlow five users pay $45–50. The price grows only as the team does.
See PricingZapier with 2,000+ apps, a REST API v3 with JSON webhooks, data sets and a team-wide analytics dashboard are all in the Business plan, so a process can start from your HRIS or ticketing tool and report back when it finishes. Waybook has no API.
Learn MoreThese are the reasons teams give us when they move from Waybook. Each one is covered in more depth in our CheckFlow vs Waybook comparison.
Waybook can tell you that someone read the offboarding SOP. It cannot tell you that the laptop was returned, the accounts were disabled in the right order, or who approved the final payroll change. Read confirmation is the wrong evidence for an operational process.
Waybook has no scheduling. The weekly server check, the monthly access review and the quarterly audit all depend on someone remembering to open the page. Teams usually find the gap when an audit asks for proof that a recurring control actually ran.
There is no branching, no assignment and no due date in a Waybook document. A process that differs by employee type, location or device has to be written as several documents, and nobody is on the hook for a step being done by a date.
Waybook’s Create plan is $49 a month for 3 members and Core is $99 for 20. A team of 5 or 8 pays for capacity it does not use, and SSO, custom domain and audit logs need the Pro plan at $198.
Waybook charges per plan, billed annually: Create $49 a month for 3 members, Core $99 for 20 and Pro $198 for 20 with SSO and audit logs. CheckFlow’s Business plan is $10 per user per month, or $9 billed annually. The table compares CheckFlow with Waybook’s Core plan.

If Waybook is not the right fit, it is worth knowing what else is on the shortlist. Trainual is the better pick if your real need is training new hires with quizzes and completion tracking. SweetProcess suits a team of 11 to 20 that wants linear procedure documentation on a flat fee. For IT and HR teams that need the procedure run, on a schedule, in order and with proof, CheckFlow is the direct replacement.
Everything you need to know before switching from Waybook.
Waybook is a knowledge base and documentation platform. Your team reads SOPs, policies and guides and confirms they have read them. CheckFlow is a process execution platform. Your team runs SOPs as structured checklists with enforced order, conditional logic, assignments, due dates, approvals and a log of every run.
For small teams, yes. CheckFlow’s Business plan is $10 per user per month, or $9 billed annually. Waybook’s Create plan is $49 a month for 3 members and Core is $99 for 20, billed annually. Three users pay $27–30 on CheckFlow against $49. Five users pay $45–50 against $99.
Between roughly 11 and 20 members Waybook’s flat Core plan is cheaper, and the calculator above says so. Teams that size choose CheckFlow because they need the process run, not just stored.
Yes, but a simpler one. CheckFlow includes knowledge base pages for reference material alongside your templates. Waybook’s knowledge base is deeper, with structured topics, search, handbook chapters and read confirmation. Teams that need both often keep Waybook for the handbook and run the processes in CheckFlow.
Yes. They do different jobs, and some teams use Waybook as the company wiki and CheckFlow to execute the processes documented there. If you only want to pay for one tool and your need is operational, CheckFlow is the one to keep.
Most teams are running their first process on the same day. Each Waybook document that describes a procedure becomes a CheckFlow template, with each instruction as a task and each piece of information the procedure collects as a control. Rebuilding one in the drag-and-drop designer typically takes well under an hour. Start with the two or three procedures that run most often, add the schedule and the assignments, test with a small group, then move the rest. Support by chat and email is included at no extra cost.
