Feature comparison
| Feature | Water Quality Compliance Reporting | ESdat by EScIS |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | $19/month Professional, $29/month Team — published pricing, no sales call required | Custom pricing. 'Clear and upfront' but requires contacting sales for a quote. No published price list. |
| US state standard coverage | All 50 US states with state-specific drinking water and groundwater cleanup standards, maintained with effective dates and source citations | Pre-loaded standards but Australian origin — US state-specific coverage depth unclear. No published US state standard list. |
| Focus | Purpose-built for the environmental consulting compliance workflow: EDD in, exceedance table out, report exported | Full EDMS with mining, industrial, and geotechnical features. Broader scope means more complexity than a small firm needs for compliance reporting. |
| Time to value | Upload an EDD and export an exceedance table in your first session | No-code but still a full EDMS — project setup, data model configuration, and workflow learning required |
| Free evaluation | Free tier with federal standards, 1 project, 3 monitoring events/month | No free tier. Demo or trial by request. |
| Price | Free during beta | Custom pricing (not published) |
Why switch from ESdat by EScIS?
Browser-based EDMS positioned as the EQuIS alternative, but pricing is not transparent despite claims of 'clear and upfront' pricing — custom quotes required. Australian origin may mean US state-specific standards are less comprehensive than domestically developed alternatives. Broader scope (mining, industrial, government) dilutes focus on the small environmental consulting firm's compliance workflow. Limited US-specific case studies for small firms.
- Transparent pricing at $19-29/month — know the cost before you contact anyone
- Focused on the compliance screening workflow you actually do every day — not a full EDMS you will use 10% of
- US state standards built and maintained domestically with source citations for every value
- Free tier lets you evaluate with real project data before spending anything
- Start producing exceedance tables on day one — no EDMS configuration required
