ArcLab is built to get training in front of a frontline team this week, on the phone they already carry, without an app install.
Quick verdict
Pick ArcLab if
you need training live in minutes, delivered over WhatsApp or SMS, and nobody on your team should have to download anything to start a module.
Pick Mitti (SafetyCulture) if
you already run inspections, audits, or corrective actions in SafetyCulture/Mitti and want training folded into that same operational record.
Evaluate both if
you are building a full compliance and training system from scratch and need deep audit trails, credential expiry tracking, and a course library alongside training delivery.

The real difference
SafetyCulture built Mitti's training tool as one piece of a bigger operations platform. If your team already logs inspections, audits, and corrective actions there, training slots into the same record, and that's a genuine strength for anyone standardised on SafetyCulture already.
ArcLab starts from a different question: how fast can a single worker, on any phone, in their own language, get through one training objective without installing anything first? That's the job it's built for, and it's a narrower one on purpose.

Where ArcLab is strong
No app, no account: a worker gets a link, taps it, and starts. Nothing to install, nothing to remember a password for.
Built from what you already have: SmartTransform turns an existing PowerPoint, PDF, Word doc, or Excel sheet into a module in minutes, instead of asking someone to write a course from scratch.
WhatsApp by default, SMS as the fallback: training reaches the channel a frontline worker already checks, not a new inbox or app icon.
Multilingual on demand: SmartTranslate instantly translates modules, and Woh Hup has trained migrant workers in their native language on ArcLab since 2021.
A training record that doesn't depend on SingPass: each worker's record is tied to their own link, with no app, account or SingPass login to set up first.
Transparent, flexible pricing: published per-learner rates start free, scale with a no-commitment monthly option, and don't force every buyer into a "contact sales" conversation.
Where Mitti (SafetyCulture) may be the better fit
You already run inspections, audits, or corrective actions in SafetyCulture/Mitti and want training sitting in that same record.
You would rather start from a large pre-built course library than convert your own documents.
You need credential and licence expiry tracking, or a unified digital-plus-classroom training record, out of the box.
Use-case fit
Where teams use ArcLab today: construction (Woh Hup, a major Singapore firm behind Jewel Changi Airport and Gardens by the Bay, has used ArcLab since 2021 for Workplace Safety and Health training for migrant workers in their native language, extending to QAQC training in 2023), and F&B/retail (4Fingers, a multi-outlet chain, replaced binder-based SOPs with ArcLab; Polar Puffs & Cakes uses it for training, assessment, and outlet-audit modules). Education is covered too, via Singapore University of Technology and Design. (arclab.io/showcase)
Implementation and adoption
Most training rollouts don't fail on features. They fail on adoption: an app nobody downloads, a login nobody remembers. ArcLab's rollout is a phone number list and a link, with geofencing available where you need access locked to a work site. Mitti's offline sync is a genuine advantage on sites with no signal, but it comes with an app install per device first.
Proof
Woh Hup, a major Singapore construction and civil engineering firm (Jewel Changi Airport, Gardens by the Bay, Funan, The Interlace), has used ArcLab since 2021 for Workplace Safety and Health training delivered directly to migrant workers' phones in their native language, extending to QAQC training in 2023 and staff development in 2024. 4Fingers, a multi-outlet F&B chain, digitised its operations manuals and SOPs with ArcLab after binder-based training became too costly to update across outlets. (arclab.io/showcase) ArcLab states its customers save more than 50% of training time per staff per month, a vendor-stated figure, not independently audited. (arclab.io)
Pricing
ArcLab's published pricing (arclab.io/pricing, checked 8 Sep 2026): Basic is free for up to 25 learners (ad-supported, limited modules, email invites only).

Mitti's published pricing (checked 8 Sep 2026, mitti.com/pricing): Free up to 10 users, Premium at $24/seat/month billed annually ($29 month-to-month) with SSO and custom integrations, and a custom-quoted Enterprise tier.
Frequently asked questions
Does ArcLab need an app?
No. Training opens from a secure web-link sent over WhatsApp or SMS, straight in the phone's browser.
Wait, is this still called SafetyCulture?
SafetyCulture rebranded to Mitti in August 2026. Its training product, formerly EdApp and then SC Training, now runs as "Training" inside Mitti.
Which is better for multilingual teams?
Both have a real story. ArcLab's SmartTranslate instantly translates modules on demand, though ArcLab doesn't publish a fixed language count. Mitti's 100+ languages figure applies to AI-translated course content, not its admin interface.
Can we use our existing PDFs, slide decks, or SOPs?
Yes, that's the starting point. ArcLab's SmartTransform converts PowerPoint, PDF, Word, and Excel files into short modules in minutes.
Does training work without signal?
No offline mode is published on ArcLab's site; the module opens as a web-link, so a data connection is needed to load it. Mitti's native app supports offline access with sync-on-reconnect, a genuine edge for sites with no signal.
Do we have to drop SafetyCulture/Mitti to use ArcLab?
No. Teams typically keep Mitti for inspections and audits and use ArcLab to get training out faster alongside it.
