Sitemate vs Raken

CategoryField forms, daily reports & voice-to-record AIDaily reporting & field management
AI role (our label)AI features added to established productNot AI-first
What it doesField data platform for construction, infrastructure and other built-world teams: Dashpivot (forms, templates and workflows for safety, quality, field reporting, time & materials), the login-free Sitemate App for front-line workers, Flowsite (no-code integrations), Gearbelt (fleet, tools & equipment), an Open API and a Sitemate MCP server with read access to Dashpivot data. Storm is the AI layer built into Dashpivot: the vendor says it drafts daily reports, permits, JSAs, ITPs and timesheets from voice notes, photos, typed notes, weather and location, builds templates from a description or converts uploaded PDF/Word/Excel/photo-of-paper forms, works in multiple languages and offline (queued until reconnect), flags low-confidence fields, and never commits a record on its own: every output is a draft for human review, signature and sign-off fields always need manual action, and admins choose which workspaces, templates and fields Storm can write to. The Storm page also lists LLM selection per workflow. The homepage calls Sitemate the "#1 Front Line AI Company for the Built World" and cites customer-story figures (e.g. 1+ hour saved per crew per day); the Storm FAQ says users cut 20-30 minutes of paperwork per day for one form. These are vendor claims. We tag it AI features added because Storm sits inside the established Dashpivot product.Field-first web and mobile app for daily progress reports (notes, photos, and videos that sync in real time and generate a shareable PDF daily report), time and production tracking, material and equipment tracking, safety and quality checklists, observations, toolbox talks, incidents with OSHA submit, RFIs, digital forms, and document storage. The homepage and pricing pages we re-checked Oct 16, 2026 still do not describe AI features, so we keep the Not AI-first tag.
Who it's forInfrastructure, civil and building contractors, trades, and supervisors/foremen, engineers, safety and quality teams who want field records drafted from voice and photos.Contractors' field crews, superintendents, and safety managers.
