◐ = partial or limited. ServiceTrade and QuoteIQ produce NFPA 96 documentation through custom forms and photo capture, but not an auto-generated, standards-grounded certificate engine. Smart Service offers NFPA-frequency scheduling, but not NFPA 96 cleaning frequency derived from cooking type. QuoteIQ includes unlimited users only on its top ($699/mo) tier. Several tools target kitchen exhaust, but only HoodOps ships the full NFPA 96 engine and sealed proof.
