DIGI CLIP and Mitti (formerly SafetyCulture) both handle mobile plant inspections. DIGI CLIP suits teams that need pre-starts, recurring checks and defect follow-up at a low per-user cost. Mitti suits teams that want asset management, work orders and scheduled maintenance in one larger platform.
DIGI CLIP vs Mitti (Formerly SafetyCulture) for Plant Machinery Checks
Do you need a maintenance management system, or a simple way to run pre-starts and make sure defects get fixed?
That question decides which platform fits. This page compares the two honestly for plant and machinery, including where Mitti is the better choice.
- Mobile pre-starts and plant inspections
- Recurring checks with reminders when a check is due
- Defects followed through to close-out in the Action Log
- From A$3.50 per user per month, including GST
SafetyCulture Is Now Mitti
In August 2026, SafetyCulture rebranded as Mitti. The platform formerly known as SafetyCulture, and before that iAuditor, is now sold as Mitti (by SafetyCulture). This page compares DIGI CLIP with Mitti as it is today.

Where Mitti Is the Better Fit
Mitti is a large, capable platform, and for some plant-heavy operations it will be the right choice. It's likely to suit you if you need:
- An asset register that tracks each machine's location, status and maintenance history
- Work orders for planning and assigning maintenance jobs
- Equipment monitoring with IoT sensors
- Integrations with other business systems
- One platform covering inspections, maintenance, training and more across many sites
Where DIGI CLIP Is the Better Fit
Many plant operators don't need a maintenance management system. They need operators to complete their pre-starts, and they need to know that any defect found gets fixed.
A completed checklist shows a task happened. It doesn't show what happened next.
DIGI CLIP is built around that gap. When an operator answers "No", "Not OK" or "At Risk" on a pre-start, an action is created in the Action Log. It's assigned, fixed and closed out, with a verification form to record the fix.
- Operators complete pre-starts on their phone, online or offline
- Recurring checks, with reminders when a check is due
- Overdue actions trigger alert emails
- Close out actions in one step or two, depending on how your team works
- Export records to PDF, Excel and CSV, including bulk PDF export
- Plans from A$3.50 per user per month, billed monthly with no lock-in contract

Pre-Starts vs Planned Maintenance
It helps to separate the two jobs, because they need different tools.
Pre-Starts and Recurring Inspections
Daily pre-starts, weekly checks and periodic inspections done by operators and supervisors. The record needs to show what was checked, what was found and what was done about it. This is where DIGI CLIP is built to help.
Planned Maintenance
Servicing by hours or kilometres, parts, work orders and a full maintenance history for each machine. If you need to manage this in software, a maintenance management system or a platform like Mitti is a better fit.
DIGI CLIP doesn't have an asset register. You can add a plant ID or registration field to your forms so each record shows which machine it relates to.
Plant Templates in DIGI CLIP
The DIGI CLIP Form Library includes ready-to-use plant templates that you can use as they are or adapt, including:
- Plant & Equipment Pre-Start
- Forklift & Equipment Pre-Start
- Boom Lift Pre-Operational Checklist
