Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Whale is a SOP Software, documentation and employee training platform, whereas Process Street is built for workflow automation and compliance tracking.

We of course will say Whale, because it is built around getting knowledge documented, read and retained with read assignments, quizzes, onboarding flows. Process Street can run an onboarding workflow, but it tracks task completion rather than comprehension.

Process Street doesn’t publish its pricing: Startup, Pro and Enterprise all route to a sales conversation, the old free plan is gone, and the entry tier is restricted to companies under 15 employees and under $2M revenue.

We introduced checklists as a feature because we know as your business grows, checklists help you scale up smoothly. They offer a structured approach that’s easy to replicate across different teams and locations, simplifying expansion.

Whale’s checklist feature includes:

To start off with, Whale comes with a free plan. Yup. That’s FREE access up front so you can see the value before you spend a cent. After that, you only pay for what you use: add functionality when you need it, add team members when it makes sense. That means you pay for the features you want and the seats you actually use, nothing extra. You’ve literally got nothing to lose.

Whale. Process Street runs recurring workflow checklists well, but it tracks task completion rather than comprehension. Whale documents the procedure behind the checklist, assigns it to roles, and verifies understanding with quizzes and read tracking. Whale has checklists too, including AI-assisted creation and completion tracking, so you do not give that up.
