4 Trainual alternatives for SOPs your assistant follows while they work

If you run remote assistants, the app that matters is the one that shows you what got done. Here are four Trainual alternatives, starting with ours, and when Trainual is still the right call.

Why owners with assistants look past Trainual

Trainual is built for training and documenting a whole company. With one or two remote assistants, you mostly need the SOP to sit next to the work: the routine they run on Monday, the login it needs, and the report that says it's done.
