Every third-party price and feature on this page was read from the vendor’s own website on the date shown beside it, with a link to the source. Where a vendor does not publish something, we say so instead of guessing. SDS HQ’s column comes from the same numbers the app bills from.

We read each vendor’s public website on the dates shown in the sources list, recorded prices and wording as published, and linked every third-party claim to its source. Where a vendor does not publish something, the table says "Not published" instead of guessing. The SDS HQ column is generated from the same plan and price constants the app bills from.
Automatic alerts when a supplier revises a sheet, a vendor-maintained SDS database or sourcing service, a native mobile app with offline access, chemical inventory with quantities, and risk assessments. SDS HQ also authors SDSs for the U.S. OSHA standard only. The feature table marks each of these plainly.
U.S. workplaces that need to keep, share, and — if they make products — author Safety Data Sheets under OSHA HazCom: from a single shop on the Free plan to multi-location companies on Multi-Site ($49 per month). See pricing →
