SOPMaker users run into its limits quickly. Free has 20 credits on the lighter Gemini Flash model, so long procedures may not finish. Credits reset each period without rollover, compliance citations are paid-only, and it is web only with no desktop or mobile app.
The alternatives are general tools, not SOP generators. Notion AI adds AI to a workspace, with a free tier and Plus at $12 per member per month. ChatGPT is a general assistant with a free tier and Plus at $20 per month. Claude has free and paid plans, with Pro at $20 per month.
