FREE ONLINE SDS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

What you'll get with SDS Manager's free plan

Our paid plans do far more, but the free version covers the basics well, especially if you're moving off a paper-based system on a tight budget. You get a working electronic SDS binder at no cost, without the risk of committing to software before you've tried it. Here's what's included:

Effortless Setup

With smart tools and a database of more than 17 million+ safety data sheets, building your electronic SDS binder is quick and simple. Most of your chemicals are already in the system, so you spend less time searching and more time getting your binder ready to use.

Max 200 Safety Data Sheets

Our free plan covers up to 200 SDSs, enough for a small site or a single location to manage its full chemical inventory at no cost.

Generate your Electronic SDS Binder

Organize your safety data sheets and build a consolidated binder with a single click. Everything lands in one PDF, complete with an index page so anyone can find the right SDS in seconds.

Employee access

Share the binder file directly with your employees, or drop a link to it on your intranet so everyone can reach it in one place. See an example of an electronic SDS binder file created with the free version of SDS Manager.

Not in the free plan

QR-Code access is not included in the Free Version

Hang up posters with QR codes and give your employees instant access to SDSs for their workplace. You can test this right now by scanning the above QR code

Have questions?

SDS Manager is an online platform that simplifies the management of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) by providing tools to create, organize, and access SDS electronically. It comes in a free plan that covers up to 200 SDSs with a shareable electronic binder, and paid plans that add automatic updates, QR code access, labeling, and compliance tools.

Yes, SDS Manager has a free plan that lets you manage up to 200 safety data sheets and generate an electronic SDS binder as a single PDF with a linked index page. You can build your library by searching a database of more than 17 million+ SDSs, uploading PDFs, or importing a product list, then share the binder with employees directly or through an intranet link. The free plan supports one admin user and requires no credit card. Paid plans add automatic revision updates, QR code and mobile app access, container labeling, and compliance alerts.

No, SDS Manager is not 100% free. It has a free plan, but the full platform is paid. The free plan covers up to 200 safety data sheets, one admin user, and a shareable electronic SDS binder, with no credit card and no time limit. Features beyond that, such as automatic SDS updates, QR code and mobile app access, container labeling, and compliance alerts, require a paid plan, which starts with a 30-day free trial.

With the free version, you can manage up to 200 safety data sheets, generate an electronic SDS binder as a single PDF, and give employees access through a shared link to the binder file. You can build your library by searching a database of more than 17 million+ SDSs, uploading your own PDFs, or importing a product list.

To get started with the free version, sign up on our website and begin building your SDS library. Add sheets by searching our database or importing your existing SDS files. No credit card is required.

Yes, the free version has three main limits: your library holds up to 200 SDSs, one admin user manages it, and employees access sheets through the electronic SDS binder file rather than QR codes. Automatic updates, QR code and mobile app access, and full customer support come with the paid plans.

Yes, you can upgrade to any paid plan at any time. Upgrading unlocks the full feature set and raises your SDS capacity, and everything you've already built in the free version carries over.

Your data stays with you if you switch back to the free version after a paid plan. Everything you added during the paid plan remains accessible in the free version, within the free plan's limits, so a library over 200 SDSs would need trimming to stay fully manageable.

Yes, training is available to every user on every plan. Our online tutorials and documentation walk you through setup and day-to-day use, whether you're on the free version or a paid subscription.

Support depends on your plan: free users get our online help resources and community forums, while paid subscribers also get direct email and phone assistance.
