Comparison
Q-Hub vs ComplianceQuest
ComplianceQuest is an enterprise quality, risk and compliance suite built exclusively on the Salesforce Platform, with EHS modules alongside the quality ones. Q-Hub is an independent QHSE system for mid-market manufacturers, engineers and testing labs — priced per plan rather than per user, with implementation included.

The short answer
Read this and you may not need the rest of the page.
Choose ComplianceQuest if…
You are already standardised on Salesforce, or you need 21 CFR Part 11, design controls, permit to work or chemical management. Their AppExchange listings name all of those and Q-Hub offers none of them.
Choose Q-Hub if…
You want QHSE without a second platform underneath it, a price you can read before booking a call, and a plan price that does not multiply by every named user.
Choose neither if…
You need manufacturing execution or batch release. Neither of these is an MES, and finding that out in week three is expensive.

Where Q-Hub is the better choice
Five differences that change the day-to-day, not a feature list.
0 extra platform licences
You are not buying someone else’s platform as well
- ComplianceQuest
- Yes — built exclusively on the Salesforce Platform
- Q-Hub
- No — independent
Their AppExchange listing states the app is "Built exclusively on the Salesforce Platform". That decision comes with licensing, admin skills and a release cycle that are not yours to set. Q-Hub is independent — there is nothing underneath it to buy or administer.
£85 a month, allowances included
Priced per plan, not per person
- ComplianceQuest
- Per user
- Q-Hub
- Per plan, with user allowances
Their listing states "Starting at $30/User/Month", so every name you add is another line. Q-Hub plans carry user allowances, so the supervisor who files the occasional near miss does not change the bill.
4 weeks to go live, included
Implementation is included, not a line item
Discovery, configuration, data migration and role-based training come with every subscription, with no separate professional-services charge. Four weeks is standard; larger rollouts run six to eight.
QHSE for operating sites, not enterprise pharma
Built for mid-market sites
- ComplianceQuest
- Enterprise quality, risk and compliance on Salesforce
- Q-Hub
- Quality, health, safety and environment for mid-market sites
Their platform is aimed at enterprise quality, risk and compliance. Q-Hub is built for manufacturers, engineers and testing labs running ISO 9001, 45001 and 14001 across a handful of sites, which is a narrower job with far less overhead.
Unlimited phone, email and live chat
UK-based support on every plan
Support comes from Caldicot in Wales, with no ticket limits, no per-incident charges and no premium tier. Included on every plan rather than reserved for the top one.
The document behind the record
Every record here points at a controlled document — the version, who approved it and when. No platform licence underneath it, and no administrator needed to change an approval route.

Where ComplianceQuest is the better choice
Cases where we would tell you to choose them, because a comparison page that never concedes is not worth reading.
You need a validated system
- ComplianceQuest
- Yes — named
- Q-Hub
- No — we do not claim it
Their listing states the platform supports "21 CFR Part 11/EU Annex 11 (ERES)". Q-Hub does not claim formal computer-system validation, and if your regulator expects it this comparison should end here.
You run design controls
- ComplianceQuest
- Yes — Design Control and RTM
- Q-Hub
- No — not offered
Their listing names "Design Control" and "RTM" among the included modules. For medical device development that is core, and Q-Hub does not offer it.
You run permits or chemical management
- ComplianceQuest
- Yes — Permit to Work
- Q-Hub
- No — not offered
Their EHS listing names "Permit to Work", "Permit Management" and "Chemical Management". Q-Hub has COSHH assessment templates but no permit-to-work system, so for high-hazard control of work they are the better fit.
What you would actually pay
Set your team size and see the Q-Hub price. ComplianceQuest publishes "Starting at $30/User/Month" on their AppExchange listing, so both columns quote a published figure — nothing here is estimated on their behalf. The difference is that theirs multiplies by every named user.
ComplianceQuest
£623/month
From $30 per seat, published — every person counts
At 28 people, their published rate totals about 2.5× the Q-Hub plan price.
Their column multiplies their own published seat rate by the number of people you entered. It takes no account of which modules each plan includes, of annual or volume terms, or of anything negotiated, and their figure is a published starting rate rather than a ceiling. The two are quoted in different currencies, so theirs is restated here and marked ≈. Q-Hub figures are our published prices. ComplianceQuest publishes a figure too, so both columns quote a published price and neither side is estimated, read 2026-09-22.
Feature deep-dive
ComplianceQuest is a broad suite, and it is worth being accurate about that. Their AppExchange listings name Audit, CAPA, Document (EDMS), Training, Supplier and Risk on the quality side, and Safety Incidents, Safety Program Management, Permit to Work, Chemical Management, Waste Management and Sustainability Management on the EHS side. This is not a platform with holes in it.
Two things follow from the Salesforce foundation rather than from any gap in the product. The platform decision is not yours alone — licensing, administrator skills and release cycles come with it. And the price is per user: their listing states "Starting at $30/User/Month", so the figure multiplies by every named person, including the ones who log in twice a month to close an action.
Q-Hub is independent and priced per plan with user allowances, so the occasional user costs nothing extra. It is built for mid-market operating sites rather than enterprise life sciences, and it does not claim 21 CFR Part 11, design controls or permit to work. Those are real differences in both directions.
- No Salesforce licence, admin or release cycle underneath
- Priced per plan with user allowances, not per user
- Implementation included, live in about four weeks
- Built for mid-market QHSE, not enterprise life sciences

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No. Q-Hub is an independent platform — there is no underlying CRM licence to buy, no platform administrator to hire, and no third-party release cycle to plan around. ComplianceQuest’s Salesforce AppExchange listing states their app is "Built exclusively on the Salesforce Platform"; what that means for your own licensing is a question for them.
Yes. Data migration is part of every Q-Hub implementation and is included in the subscription. We bring across controlled documents, registers, training records and open actions, and check them with you before anything goes live. Export formats vary by system, so we agree those with you during discovery.
Q-Hub publishes its plans: £85, £245 and £530 a month, with user allowances included and the module list broken down plan by plan. ComplianceQuest publishes "Starting at $30/User/Month" on their AppExchange listing. Both are public figures; the difference is that theirs scales with every named user while ours is a plan price.
Yes — and so does ComplianceQuest, so this is not the deciding question. Q-Hub runs quality, health, safety and environment in one system, so an audit finding, a near miss and a supplier non-conformance all close through one CAPA register. What Q-Hub does not offer is permit to work or chemical management, which their EHS listing names.
About four weeks for a standard rollout — discovery, configuration, data migration and role-based training, all included in the subscription. Larger or multi-site rollouts typically run six to eight weeks. There is no separate professional-services charge.
Yes. Support is UK-based, from Caldicot in Wales, with unlimited phone, email and live chat on every plan. There are no ticket limits, no per-incident charges and no premium support tier.
Yes — the three standards share a harmonised ten-clause structure, which is why BSI, the UK national standards body, runs them as a single integrated management system: “an integrated management system for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001”. Q-Hub runs all three as one audit programme, so a finding closes once against whichever standard it belongs to instead of being re-entered somewhere else. ComplianceQuest covers EHS as well as quality, so unlike most comparisons on this site the difference here is the platform underneath and how it is priced, not coverage.
