SiteConnect and SiteKey are both New Zealand systems that handle sign in at the gate. SiteConnect is a broad health and safety platform sold by quote. SiteKey covers site access at a published rate. Everything below comes from each company's own website, read on 18 September 2026.
We took the SiteConnect column from SiteConnect's own website and the SiteKey column from our features page.
| Area | SiteConnect | SiteKey |
|---|---|---|
| Site sign in | Geofence from the app, QR from site boards, kiosk mode | QR pass scanned on the person's own phone, kiosk, GPS geofencing |
| Inductions | Inductions and SWMS triggered at sign in | Training compliance gate that blocks sign in when training is not current |
| Contractors | Documents, licences and insurances tracked with expiry alerts | Contractor pre-registration, automated pre-qualification on the WorkSafe WKS-14 form, and training records with expiry shown on the Training screen |

| Assets and plant | Asset management with reminders before key dates | Set up on request |
| Who is on site now | Live attendance and time on site reporting | Live evacuation list and automatic sign out |
| Published price | None. The pricing page is a form and plans are emailed | $30 an office, $50 a worksite and $10 each additional site, monthly and excluding GST |
Set up on request means the work is quoted and built for your tenancy, and is not part of the standard product. Read from siteconnect.io and sitekey.nz on 18 September 2026. Both sites change, so check the current pages before you decide.
The pricing page on siteconnect.io has no rate card. It is a form, and the page says pricing plans will be emailed to you. To compare budgets you need to ask them for a quote.
$30 a month for an office, $50 a month for a worksite, and $10 a month for each site after that, excluding GST. There are no per user charges or per scan costs. Three sites come to $70 a month.
With a published rate you can check the cost against your budget before you book a call. With a quote, the price comes after a conversation about your business.
SiteConnect publishes a forms and inspections builder and a template library that is ready to use on day one. SiteKey handles asset management as a build for your tenancy, quoted on request.
SiteConnect also runs in Australia and the United Kingdom and has a partner programme for safety consultants. SiteKey is New Zealand only.
SiteConnect does not publish a rate card. Its pricing page, read on 18 September 2026, is a form, and the page says plans will be emailed to you. To compare budgets, ask SiteConnect for a quote. SiteKey's published rate is $30 a month for an office, $50 a month for a worksite, and $10 a month for each site after that, excluding GST.
They differ in breadth and pricing. SiteConnect publishes a platform covering attendance, inductions, contractor documents, SWMS and JSA, hazard and risk registers, digital forms and inspections, incidents, and asset management, sold by quote. SiteKey publishes site access and the records that come out of it. That list is QR pass check in, a training compliance gate, visitor management, a live evacuation list, contractor pre-registration, automated contractor pre-qualification on the WorkSafe WKS-14 form, company nominated hazards and risks shown in the site induction and at sign in, automatic sign out, GPS geofencing, incident, accident and near miss reporting, site walk records, toolbox talk records, site specific safety plans and a JSA library, at a published flat rate per site.
Not for every method. SiteConnect's own site lists geofence sign in and sign out from its app, QR code sign in from site boards, and kiosk mode for the site office. SiteKey uses a QR pass scanned on the person's own phone, with no app to download and no login.
It depends on what is being replaced. SiteKey covers who is on site, contractor pre-qualification, and the records that come out of sign in. SiteKey also does site specific safety plans and a JSA library, and asset management is built for your tenancy on request. A business that wants an audit programme and a broad self service forms library needs a wider platform.
No. SiteKey is built and run by Capability Solutions in Hamilton. SiteConnect is a separate company and its name and trade marks belong to it. Everything on this page comes from each company's own published website, read on 18 September 2026.
