HousingSurvey Pro vs AwaabSafe.
Both products exist because of the same law. We researched AwaabSafe's own public site directly for this page — no guessing, no numbers we couldn't find published — and we'll say plainly where it does something HousingSurvey Pro doesn't, and where the two products aren't really solving the same problem.
What AwaabSafe does well
AwaabSafe is built specifically and narrowly around the Awaab's Law clock. Its own site describes automatic calculation of the statutory deadlines with UK bank holidays excluded, deadline-breach alerts before they happen, and a genuinely simple front door for tenants: one QR code per organisation, with tenants able to report a hazard in around a minute with no account or app download. That's a real, well-scoped piece of the problem, and if all you need is deadline tracking plus an easy tenant-reporting channel, it's a reasonable, purpose-built option worth evaluating directly.
Where the products differ
| HousingSurvey Pro | AwaabSafe | |
|---|---|---|
| Core job | Field evidence capture (photos, readings, GPS) + portal + statutory clocks | Deadline tracking + tenant hazard reporting via QR code |
| Evidence integrity | Hash-chained, append-only, server-timestamped, tamper-evident by design | Publishes an "append-only event log" with timestamp and identity sealing |
| Mobile field app | Yes — offline-first capture app for surveyors | Not published on their site — appears reporting-led rather than survey-led |
| CMS/HMS integration | REST API, signed webhooks, SFTP/EDI, Power Automate connector | Not published on their site |
| Public pricing | Yes — free to start, £29-£99/surveyor/month | Not published on their site as of this review |

Choose AwaabSafe if…
…your organisation's biggest gap is deadline visibility and a low-friction way for tenants to report a hazard, and you already have (or don't need) a system that captures the actual field evidence — photos, readings, inspection detail — that a written summary or an Ombudsman case needs.
Choose HousingSurvey Pro if…
…you need the evidence itself to be defensible, not just the deadline tracked: a surveyor capturing geo-stamped, tamper-evident records in the field, flowing straight into your existing housing management system (HMS) or case-management system without anyone retyping anything.

Frequently asked questions
Is AwaabSafe the same kind of product as HousingSurvey Pro?
Not quite. AwaabSafe is a deadline-tracking and tenant-reporting layer — a QR code for tenants to report a hazard, and automated statutory-deadline calculation and alerts. HousingSurvey Pro is a field evidence-capture app plus management portal: surveyors record geo-stamped, tamper-evident, hash-chained evidence on site, which flows into your case-management system by API, webhook, EDI or SFTP. The two products solve adjacent but different problems.
Does AwaabSafe publish its pricing?
Not on its public site as of this review — pricing isn't listed, so we can't compare it here. HousingSurvey Pro's pricing is public: free to start, then £29-£99 per surveyor per month depending on tier. Check AwaabSafe directly for current pricing.
