What FoodDocs does well.
- Fast HACCP plan setup
- AI-generated plans are user-friendly and accessible
- Strong customer base across hospitality and healthcare
Where FoodDocs stops.
- No fire safety awareness — hood cleaning, suppression, and Local Fire Authority requirements are invisible
- No county-specific evaluation data — doesn't know how your county evaluates
- Not built for California-specific regulatory compliance
- Doesn't read your insurance policies or your lease
- No hood cleaning schedule awareness — does not address NFPA 96 hood-cleaning schedules
What EvidLY also includes.
- Ongoing operational intelligence — not just a plan, but continuous visibility into how your kitchen is performing
- County-specific evaluation matching for all 58 California counties and four city health departments
- Fire safety alongside food safety — the whole picture, not just one slice
- Insurance documentation portfolio — policy and lease conditions identified
- Fire and food in one place, your vendors' records collected, and your policy's conditions read — none of which FoodDocs does.
A HACCP plan tells you what to do. But does it tell you whether your county's inspector will see it the same way?

Common questions about EvidLY vs FoodDocs.
How is EvidLY different from FoodDocs?
They have different strengths. FoodDocs excels at rapid HACCP plan generation. EvidLY is full operational intelligence — it covers fire safety AND food safety, matches your county's evaluation method, identifies what your insurance policy and lease actually require. If you just need a HACCP plan, FoodDocs is fast. If you need ongoing operational intelligence for your kitchen, EvidLY is more comprehensive.
Does FoodDocs cover fire safety?
No. FoodDocs focuses on food safety documentation and HACCP plans. It does not cover hood cleaning schedules, fire suppression inspections, or Local Fire Authority requirements. EvidLY covers both fire safety and food safety in one place.
Can FoodDocs match my county's evaluation method?
No. FoodDocs generates standardized HACCP plans and food safety documentation, but doesn't have built-in knowledge of how specific counties evaluate commercial kitchens. EvidLY maps all 58 California counties and four city health departments.
How much does FoodDocs cost compared to EvidLY?
FoodDocs starts at $99/month (Lite), $199/month (Standard with HACCP), and $299/month (Professional). EvidLY is $129 a month for the first kitchen and $99 for each additional kitchen — $399 and $199 for institutions — with no per-seat fees. Pilots run on two kitchens, nothing is charged until day 16, and you have thirty days to change your mind. Onboarding, normally $500 to $2,500, is waived this phase.
