How FRA Flow compares
Looking for a Pyrosure alternative built around BS 9792 and housing-first workflow?
Pyrosure is an established FRA platform with a long history in UK fire safety. FRA Flow is a more recent BS 9792-led product with a sharper housing focus and reviewer-first QA. The right choice depends on portfolio scope and QA priorities.
No card. Two reports a month, free forever.
- Housing-first
- BS 9792-led
- Reviewer-first QA
Where they differ
Methodology, QA emphasis, and product foundation.
01
Methodology
FRA Flow centres BS 9792:2025 from the data model up. Pyrosure has a longer PAS 79 lineage; BS 9792 support varies by configuration.
02
Housing focus
FRA Flow is built specifically for UK housing FRA teams. Pyrosure covers a broader range of building types.
03
QA discipline
FRA Flow makes competent reviewer sign-off the default. Reviewer queue is a first-class workflow surface, not an optional add-on.
04
Evidence linkage
FRA Flow surfaces orphan findings (findings without traceable evidence) as a workflow check before sign-off.
05
AI drafting
FRA Flow offers AI-drafted narrative where every drafted line links back to its source. The audit trail covers the AI handoff.
06
Pricing model
FRA Flow uses transparent per-assessor pricing with free reviewer + admin seats. Pyrosure pricing varies with configuration.
When Pyrosure is the right call
When the established workflow continuity matters.
01
You have years of Pyrosure data and the migration cost outweighs the methodological benefit of moving.02
Your portfolio extends well beyond housing and the cross-building-type consistency of one tool is critical.03
Your team is highly trained on Pyrosure specifically and the transition cost is significant.04
The specific Pyrosure features and integrations you rely on are materially better than what FRA Flow offers today.When FRA Flow is the right call
When a BS 9792-led housing tool fits better.
01
Your work concentrates in UK housing FRAs and you want a tool that reflects that scope.02
You want BS 9792:2025 as the default shape of every assessment, not a configuration option.03
You operate a reviewer-first QA discipline and want the software to enforce sign-off as a default.04
You are setting up a new programme without years of historical data to migrate.05
You see value in evidence-linked AI drafting where the audit trail covers the AI handoff.06
You want transparent per-assessor pricing with free reviewer and admin seats.How to evaluate
A practical evaluation process.
The cleanest evaluation is to carry out a real assessment in both tools end to end on the same building. Compare the on-site capture experience, the draft, the reviewer QA, and the issued report. The differences in workflow and audit grade show up where it matters: at the moment a competent reviewer is reading what the assessor produced.
For teams considering FRA Flow, the demo and free trial structure is sized for this kind of side-by-side evaluation. Bring a real housing portfolio. Run a real assessment. Decide on evidence rather than feature comparisons.
Switching cost
What a Pyrosure to FRA Flow transition actually looks like.
For housing-focused teams considering the switch, the migration question is not "can we move all our historical reports across?" The pragmatic answer is no, and we do not recommend trying. The right transition pattern is operational rather than retrospective: FRA Flow becomes the system for new assessments and annual reviews going forward, while Pyrosure keeps the historical record where it sits today.
The first cycle of annual reviews after switch is the moment new FRA Flow records start to populate. The second cycle is when the team is fully operating in the new workflow. The historical Pyrosure reports remain accessible as PDF outputs in your records system; new BS 9792 work runs in FRA Flow alongside.
Training cost is one to two days for a competent assessor moving from Pyrosure to FRA Flow. The methodology overlap is significant; the workflow patterns differ in specific ways (how observations attach to BS 9792 sections, how the reviewer queue surfaces work, how AI drafting traces back to evidence). For a multi-assessor team, we recommend a one-block or two-block pilot before a full team rollout.
Plans and pricing
Priced like a report production system.
Reviewer and admin seats are free on every paid tier. Report credits are pooled across the team so one busy assessor does not run out while another has spare capacity. Annual billing saves around 17 percent. See full tiers, including the free tier and Enterprise, on the [pricing page](/pricing/).

FAQ
Questions buyers ask before they commit to a new workflow.
FAQ 01
How is FRA Flow different from Pyrosure at the workflow level?
FRA Flow is housing-focused and BS 9792:2025-shaped from the data model up. Reviewer-first sign-off is the default discipline rather than an optional add-on. AI drafting is evidence-linked: every drafted line traces back to its source observation rather than being a free-form generated paragraph. The audit trail covers the AI handoff explicitly.
FAQ 02
Can we use Pyrosure for non-housing and FRA Flow for housing?
Yes. Many consultancies operate dual-tool patterns where a focused housing product runs alongside a generalist tool. The choice depends on whether the operational overhead of two tools is worth the methodological fit on each. For teams with a heavy housing concentration, the dual pattern often pays for itself; for teams with light housing exposure, a single tool is usually simpler.
FAQ 03
Is AI in fire safety reports a liability risk?
AI in FRA Flow accelerates drafting but never signs off. Every AI-generated paragraph is editable, auditable, and traceable to the photo, observation, or risk score that produced it. The competent person signs off the report, not the AI. The audit trail records who approved which version against which evidence, which strengthens defensibility under the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than weakening it.
FAQ 04
Where is our customer data stored?
All customer data, including database, file storage, and AI inference, runs in UK or EU regions only. Nothing leaves the European Economic Area. Full security and data-handling details are on the security page.
FAQ 05
What does pricing actually cost a small consultancy?
A 5-assessor Practice team is £249 base plus 5 × £49 = £494 per month on monthly billing, or roughly £394 per month on annual. That includes 40 pooled report credits per month, free reviewer and admin seats, and per-landlord branding. Overage is £12 per report. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
FAQ 06
How long does the Pyrosure-to-FRA-Flow transition take?
A single competent assessor running their next FRA in FRA Flow needs about a day of orientation. A multi-assessor consultancy typically runs a one-block or two-block pilot over a couple of weeks before a full team rollout. Historical Pyrosure reports are not migrated; FRA Flow becomes the system for new assessments going forward.
