## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The honest framing first
> 
> "Audit management software" as a product category (AuditBoard, Workiva, MetricStream, Archer, IBM OpenPages, Diligent One) is enterprise GRC tooling - quote-only pricing, no free tiers, minimums that assume an audit *department*. None of it is sensible for one person. AuditBoard specifically has no free version and no free trial. So the real answer depends on which kind of freelancer you are, and I'd pick differently for each.
> 
> ### If you're a freelance/contract auditor doing audits for clients
> 
> 1. **SafetyCulture** (formerly iAuditor, now also branded Mitti) - my first recommendation for most independent auditors. Free plan for up to 10 users, Premium around A$29/month flat, huge library of customizable checklist templates, mobile-first so you can run fieldwork off a phone or tablet and export a client-ready report on site. If you do ISO 9001, H&S, quality, supplier, or operational audits, start here.
> 2. **Audora** - priced per audit engagement, capped at $500 per engagement regardless of framework, unlimited users inside an engagement. That model fits freelance economics exactly: you pay when you have billable work, not a year-round seat fee you eat b

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
