In brief
OpenDoc and Correct Care both give UK care providers ready-written policies that staff can read on their phones, with records to show inspectors, and both offer a free, fully managed setup. They differ in who you can see writing the policies, how changes in guidance reach you, whether staff can ask questions, and what else comes in the package.
OpenDoc was built from 2025 with AI at its core. It has 500+ policies, each showing its named author and signed off by at least three of more than 100 named experts, and services can upload their existing policies for the AI to answer on. It alerts services when CQC, NICE or Care Act guidance changes, compares every version side by side, and answers staff by text or by voice in 51 languages. It has a free plan, and an Organisation plan at £70 + VAT a month per service with no long-term contract.
Correct Care, from Correct Care Training Ltd, is a family-run platform combining a care-focused HR system, onboarding, more than 150 e-learning and practical courses, and a policy library with in-app signing. Staff use iOS and Android apps, and pricing is based on employee slots rather than named users. Its pages do not publish a price, name its policy authors or describe AI features.
Interest declared. Health Connect Global Ltd publishes this page and makes OpenDoc, so read it as a comparison by one of the providers. Every statement about Correct Care comes from its own public pages, listed at the end. Where a point is not stated there, this page says “None found” and does not guess.

Both providers say experienced people write their policies. The difference is what a care service can see. In OpenDoc, every policy shows the named expert who wrote it, each expert has a public profile, and at least three experts sign off each policy before it is published. Care providers also donate policies they already use, and donated policies go through the same sign-off.
Correct Care says its policies are written and maintained by experienced care professionals and compliance specialists, and reviewed regularly. Its company page describes a family business with more than 40 years of hands-on care sector leadership. On the pages checked, it did not name its policy authors or describe a sign-off process.
When CQC, NICE or Care Act guidance changes, OpenDoc tells the service, experts check the change, and the service can compare versions and accept the update or keep its own. Staff ask questions in plain English, or out loud in any of 51 languages, and get an answer drawn from the expert library and from any policies the service has uploaded itself. Managers can see which policies and sections staff view and what they ask about.
Correct Care says its policies are updated immediately as guidance, regulation and best practice evolve. Staff read and sign policies in its app, managers assign reading lists and track completions, and reading, signing and training are all logged for inspections. Its pages do not describe AI answers, voice or alerts to providers when guidance changes.
OpenDoc publishes its prices. The library is free to use, and the Organisation plan is £70 + VAT a month per service, or £840 + VAT a year, with unlimited users and unlimited AI use. There is no long-term contract, and a service can cancel at any time from inside the app.
Correct Care does not publish prices. It charges by employee slots rather than named users, so when someone leaves, their slot passes to the next starter at no extra cost, and the price includes unlimited training and policies. Its pricing page describes a monthly subscription with no long-term contracts, while the FAQ on the same page says it offers one-year and three-year fixed contract options. Ask Correct Care which applies to you.
No AI features were found on the Correct Care pages checked. OpenDoc answers staff questions from its expert library and a service’s own uploaded policies, by text or by voice in 51 languages.
