✅ Rampcheck
New-hire onboarding you own forever.
Trainual is $99/mo — over $1,188 a year, forever, and more than $3,500 by year three. Rampcheck is the core of it self-hosted: role-based checklists, an SOP library, a private portal for every new hire, quizzes and a manager dashboard. $29, once — still $29 in year three.

Features
Checklist templates per role
Multi-step onboarding across day 1 / week 1 / month 1, each step with a due-day offset, assignable to a hire in one click.
New-hire portal
Every hire gets a private tokenized link with their checklist, progress bar, linked docs and self check-off — no account needed.
Content library
SOPs and policies as rich HTML docs with optional video links, organized by category and linked from checklist steps.
Quiz steps
Multiple-choice checks with a pass threshold; the step only completes on a passing score, and answers never leak to the portal payload.
Manager dashboard
All active onboardings, overdue-step alerts, completion-rate reporting and per-step manager verification.
