, Co-founder and CEO Comparison Summary
SOPX and DeepHow both turn video of real work into step-by-step content in 50+ languages. Upload a phone recording or an existing PDF procedure to SOPX and AI returns a structured SOP with steps, descriptions, and an auto-trimmed clip on every step, published in under 10 minutes and fully editable: reword a step, reorder it, or swap a single clip without regenerating. Approval flow, document IDs, procedure history, and Run mode checklists cover the audit side. DeepHow is the enterprise platform: skills matrix, LMS and QMS connectors, live SOP verification, sold through a demo and a three-month rollout. For a 20 to 300 person manufacturer that needs accurate SOPs this quarter, SOPX gets there sooner.
Feature Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of SOPX and competitor capabilities.
| Feature | SOPX | DeepHow |
|---|---|---|
| Core | ||
| What the product is | A self-serve SOP platform. Video or PDF in, structured and editable step-by-step procedure out, with a short clip on every step. | A Physical AI platform for operational excellence: knowledge capture, skills management, and AI verification of work as it happens, built for enterprise operations. |
| AI video to structured SOP | YES. Upload a process video and AI builds the whole SOP: title, steps, step descriptions, and a trimmed clip per step. AI also fills the SOP header (purpose, scope, responsibilities, safety) from the same recording. | YES. AI segments, transcribes, and translates video into step-by-step Smart Videos, with text-based editing and 1-click AI dubbing. |
| Time from video to published SOP | Under 10 minutes for a typical process video, on the day you sign up. | Fast per video once the platform is live. DeepHow's own site frames the enterprise rollout as three months. |
| Editing after AI generation | Nothing is locked. Rewrite wording, reorder or delete steps, and insert custom steps. Edit any step on its own: trim or replace its clip without regenerating the SOP, add images or an image carousel, annotate frames with arrows and callouts, and place tables inside step descriptions (added July 2026). Tables carry through translation and PDF or Word export. | Text-based video editing, flexible Smart Instruction templates, and an AI chat interface for building an instruction. Version control keeps workers on the current version. |
| Several sources into one procedure | Multi-file AI generation reviews up to 5 videos and 5 PDFs together and produces one coherent SOP, with each PDF marked as Procedure or Additional info. Enterprise preview, unlocked per customer on request. | 1-click conversion turns a static PDF or a Smart Video into a Smart Instruction. Merging several sources into one generated procedure is not documented publicly. |
| Reusing steps across procedures | Import steps from another procedure at an exact position, with video clips, annotations, and form fields intact, or duplicate a whole procedure and choose which version to copy. Both added July 2026. | Smart Compare uses AI to find differences and overlaps across the content library. It is aimed at keeping a large library consistent rather than assembling a new procedure from existing steps. |
| Approval and document control | Approval flow on Pro and Enterprise: draft, submit for review, approve and publish or request changes, with an optional four-eyes rule blocking self-approval. Every procedure carries your own document ID such as SOP-PROD-014 and a read-only history of who did what and when. | Controlled workflows with approvals and structured handoffs, plus version-specific training records showing who is qualified on which version. Presented as part of the enterprise and PharmaCloud offering. |
| Comments and frontline feedback | Comment on a whole procedure, a single step, or the SOP details block, with threaded replies and resolve. Comment-only access lets an operator flag a problem without edit rights. | Feedback runs through the training and skills program. Step-level comment threads are not described in their public materials. |
| Execution proof on the floor | Run mode attaches forms and checklists to specific steps, 10 field types including yes/no/na, date, image, and signature, plus a closing note and signature per run. Run results are stored and reviewable. | Quizzes and certifications validate knowledge, and the Performance Dashboard tracks completions, scores, and deadlines. Confirming the physical action is handled by Live SOP Verification rather than an operator checklist. |
| Live, AI-guided step verification | NO. SOPX has no camera-based verification of the physical action as it happens. | YES, and this is a real DeepHow advantage. Live SOP Verification, announced June 2026 with NVIDIA Cosmos and Metropolis VSS and deployed at Foxconn, reasons over live video and compares the work against the approved procedure to catch procedural drift. |
| Skills matrix and competency management | NO. SOPX does not track competencies, certifications, or training assignments. | YES. Smart Skills Management shows who is trained, who is overdue, and where the gaps are, with training assigned by role, shift, or site and dated records for audits. |
| Operator experience on the floor | Full screen mode presents one step at a time, presentation-style, for operators following along at the machine. Search covers every procedure in the organization. | Interactive step-by-step video player with in-video search, delivered through the DeepHow Navigator app. |
| Analytics and reporting | Who viewed and ran each procedure and when, most popular procedures, most active team members, and run results with completed checklists. | Broader on the training side. Enterprise reporting covers training progress, skills development, and content performance across sites, with prebuilt and custom reports and exports into a data warehouse. |
| Multi-language support | AI translation into 50+ languages in seconds across the whole SOP, step forms included, with a side-by-side review editor so a supervisor can correct floor terminology. Tables and the SOP header translate with it. | 50+ languages, plus 1-click dubbing using AI voices or your own. |
| PDF and document import | YES. Upload a PDF procedure and AI extracts steps, descriptions, and images. Standard limit is 100 pages, up to 500 pages and 200 MB for customers on the Enterprise preview. Every source file stays downloadable. | YES. 1-click conversion turns a static PDF into a Smart Instruction. |
| Mobile apps and capture | Web only. On a phone or tablet, Add image and Add video open the rear camera directly, in the step editor and in Run mode image fields, so capture needs no app. There is no native app and no offline mode. | Native iOS and Android apps: DeepHow Capture for recording and DeepHow Navigator for viewing, both actively maintained. |
| Enterprise integrations | API access as an Enterprise add-on, alongside SSO/SCIM and an organization audit log. No prebuilt LMS, QMS, or MES connectors. | Far broader. DeepHow's integration directory lists LMS, QMS, MES, HR, and identity providers including SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Cornerstone, Docebo, Moodle, Veeva Vault, ETQ Reliance, Tulip, Rockwell Automation, Okta, and Microsoft Entra ID. |
| Regulated and GMP environments | Document IDs, approval flow, and procedure history support ISO 9001 clause 7.5 document control. SOPX has no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification to advertise and no validated GMP environment. | PharmaCloud delivers the full platform in a dedicated GMP-compliant cloud for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, with version-specific training records. |

DeepHow
As of July 2026, deephow.com publishes no pricing page and no self-serve trial: the site's calls to action are Request a Demo and Product Login. Older 14-day trial pages remain indexed but are no longer live. SOPX lists Pro at $9 per user per month billed annually, with a free trial and Stripe checkout.
SOPX is best for:
- Operations and production managers at 20 to 300 person manufacturers who need dozens of processes documented this quarter: record the work on a phone, upload it, and publish a structured SOP with a trimmed clip on every step in under 10 minutes, with no writing
- Teams that need SOPs an auditor accepts: document IDs like SOP-PROD-014, approval before publish, and an automatic history of who changed what and when
- Food production, logistics, field service, and lab teams that want proof the procedure was followed, through Run mode checklists and signatures rather than a training platform
- Companies sitting on process videos and PDF procedures: a PDF is parsed automatically into steps, descriptions, and extracted images, then translated into 50+ languages, with no implementation project
- Operations where processes change often, so rewording a step, swapping one clip without regenerating, and reissuing in minutes matters more than program depth
DeepHow might be better if:
- Enterprises that want AI watching the line in real time. DeepHow's Live SOP Verification, built with NVIDIA Cosmos and Metropolis VSS and deployed at Foxconn, compares live activity against the approved procedure as the work happens
- Organizations that need a genuine skills matrix: who is trained, who is overdue, where the gaps are, with quizzes, certifications, and dated training records assigned by role, shift, or site
- Companies that require training and procedures to flow through existing enterprise systems, with prebuilt connectors to LMS, QMS, MES, HR, and identity platforms
- Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers that need a dedicated GMP-compliant cloud, which DeepHow offers as PharmaCloud

Migrating to SOPX
Two self-serve paths. Both run in your browser, no IT involvement needed.
Bring your existing PDFs
Export work instructions as PDF from your current tool, then drop them into SOPX. The AI extracts text, pulls images, translates if needed, and rebuilds them as structured SOPs in minutes.
Bring your existing process videos
Re-use any video you have already recorded. SOPX generates step-by-step SOPs from raw footage automatically. No re-recording, no manual editing.
Need API-based migration or a managed switch (for example, bulk export from a competitor's API)? We handle custom enterprise migrations on request.
Talk to us about migrationWhere SOPX fits next to DeepHow
Teams comparing the two usually pick SOPX for document import , multilingual sops , or work instructions . These are workflows where DeepHow's strengths sit in a different lane.
The pattern shows up most in manufacturing and food production , where the work happens off the screen and consistency across shifts and sites matters more than the documentation tool itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions for this comparison.
What is the difference between SOPX and DeepHow?
SOPX is a self-serve SOP platform: upload a video or PDF and AI builds a structured, editable procedure with a clip on every step, published the same day and executed on the floor with Run mode checklists. DeepHow is an enterprise Physical AI platform: it captures expert know-how on video, manages skills and certifications, integrates with LMS, QMS, and MES systems, and verifies work in real time against the approved procedure. SOPX maintains the procedures; DeepHow runs a workforce capability program around them.
Can I edit what SOPX generates, or is the AI output locked?
It is a normal, editable procedure. Rewrite any wording, reorder or delete steps, and insert custom steps. On a single step you can trim or replace the video clip without regenerating the SOP, add images or an image carousel, annotate frames with arrows and callouts, place a table inside the description, and attach Run mode form fields. Steps can also be imported from another procedure at an exact position, with clips, annotations, and form fields intact. Every change lands in procedure history, and earlier versions can be restored.
Can SOPX use our existing PDF procedures?
Yes. Upload a PDF and AI parses it into steps, step descriptions, and extracted images and carousels, with no page by page rebuilding. The standard limit is 100 pages, and up to 500 pages and 200 MB on the Enterprise preview. That preview also covers multi-file generation: up to 5 videos and 5 PDFs read together into one coherent SOP, with each PDF marked as Procedure or Additional info. Source files stay downloadable, and the finished SOP translates into 50+ languages.
How fast can SOPX publish an SOP?
Under 10 minutes for a typical process video. You upload the recording, AI generates the title, steps, step descriptions, and a trimmed clip per step, plus the SOP header covering purpose, scope, responsibilities, and safety. You review, adjust anything that is off, and publish. There is no demo, no scoping call, and no implementation phase: signup is self-serve and checkout runs through Stripe.
Can SOPX procedures hold up in an ISO 9001 audit?
SOPX covers the document control side. Every procedure carries a document ID in your own numbering convention, such as SOP-PROD-014, that stays the same across versions and languages, which maps to ISO 9001 clause 7.5. Approval flow requires review before publish and can block self-approval with a four-eyes rule. Procedure history keeps a read-only timeline of creation, submission, approval, changes, and restores with names and timestamps, and Run mode records who executed a procedure and what they signed.
Does DeepHow publish pricing or offer a free trial?
As of July 2026, deephow.com publishes no pricing page and the site's calls to action are Request a Demo and Product Login. A 14-day free trial was previously advertised and those pages are still indexed by search engines, but the live page no longer offers a self-serve trial. SOPX publishes its pricing: a free trial with 5 AI SOPs and 3 AI translations, Pro at $9 per user per month billed annually or $12 monthly, and a custom Enterprise plan priced by operation size.
When is DeepHow the better choice than SOPX?
Choose DeepHow when the goal is a workforce capability program rather than a set of procedures your own team maintains. It is built for multi-site enterprises that have a training function, an implementation budget, and requirements SOPX does not meet, particularly camera-based verification on the line, competency management, and validated environments for pharma and medical devices, and it frames rollout as a three-month project. Choose SOPX when the job is accurate, editable, multilingual SOPs live now: a 20 to 300 person manufacturer or food producer, or a field service, logistics, lab, healthcare, or hospitality team that wants to record a process today and publish it today.
