A VelocityEHS / MSDSonline Alternative Built for Small Employers

Short answer: SDSentry is a small-employer alternative to MSDSonline (now VelocityEHS) — HazCom and SDS software at a flat $24 per location per month with unlimited users. VelocityEHS is an enterprise EHS platform, with a very large SDS library (8M+ documents, per VelocityEHS) and a broad EHS/ESG platform. SDSentry is for the one-to-several-location businesses that just need Hazard Communication handled — SDS management, labels, training records, and OSHA recordkeeping — without enterprise complexity or quote-based pricing.

Free, no signup: the OSHA HazCom self-audit at sdsentry.0xpi.com/hazcom-self-audit.html scores your Hazard Communication program against 29 CFR 1910.1200 in about two minutes and names the specific gaps.

What VelocityEHS (MSDSonline) offers

MSDSonline, now branded VelocityEHS, is an enterprise SDS-management and EHS vendor. Its site cites 8M+ searchable safety data sheets with 20K+ new and updated sheets added each week, offers GHS secondary labeling, and is part of a much broader environmental, health, safety, and ESG platform used by large organizations worldwide. If you run a large or complex EHS program, that depth is the point.

Why small employers look for an alternative

For a small business, two things tend to push the other way. VelocityEHS does not publish pricing — you request a quote — so you cannot see the cost before a sales conversation. And the platform is built for large EHS programs, with capabilities a small facility rarely uses. (For what VelocityEHS sells today and how its pricing works, see our VelocityEHS alternative guide, checked October 10, 2026.)

SDSentry takes the opposite approach: a flat, published $24 per location per month, unlimited users, no per-seat fees, and a 7-day free trial (card required, no charge until it ends). It covers the Hazard Communication essentials a small employer actually needs — multi-source SDS lookup plus your own uploads, a per-location chemical inventory, GHS secondary-container labels, per-product training with e-signatures, the written HazCom program, OSHA 300 recordkeeping, EPCRA Tier II export, and a no-login Shared SDS Binder that works offline.

When VelocityEHS is the better choice

If you are a large or multi-site enterprise, need a full EHS/ESG platform (industrial hygiene, incident analytics, process safety), or require international regulatory coverage such as REACH, VelocityEHS is built for exactly that. SDSentry deliberately does not go there — it keeps the small-employer HazCom essentials simple and affordable.
