Where InspectDay fits better
Inspectors who work from a phone and need opened inspections to stay on the device, with photos and annotations taken on the phone.
What it does well
- Solo is $49.00 a month for one inspector and one admin. Team is $149.00 a month for three inspectors and unlimited admins.
- The free plan is one inspector and one template, with unlimited inspections.
- Inspections are unlimited on every plan, Free included. Publishing and sharing reports is not metered by plan.
- On the phone, photos and video can be captured, and photos annotated on Android and iOS. Voice notes are recorded on the device.
- Opened inspections stay on the phone, and changes to them are queued for sending.
- New customers get a seven-day free trial on Solo and Team. Checkout collects a payment method, and the first charge falls when the trial ends.
- Sign in with a passwordless email code, Google or Apple.
Where it is weaker
- Templates cannot be imported or exported, and they have no versioning.
- Clients are free-text fields on an inspection, and there is no client database.
- Report labels are in English only.
- Reports carry no website.
- On the phone, creating an inspection needs a connection.
- Queued changes send only while the app is open; the phone app will not publish an inspection while its changes are waiting to send or have failed, and failed changes stay on the device until retried or discarded.
- Client agreements, signatures and client payments are not offered.
- There is no Windows app. The phone app runs on Android and iOS, and the web app runs in any browser.
Where Home Inspector Pro fits better
Desktop inspectors who want one plan with report translation, digital contracts and team inspections.
What it does well
- The one plan includes collaborative team inspections, AI-powered report translation, digital contracts, credit card processing, text and email automation, advanced scheduling and business reporting.
- Reports translate automatically into six languages, with integrated AI.
- Home Inspector Pro runs on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android, on any Mac or Windows desktop, laptop or tablet.
- A 30-day free trial, zero hidden fees, cancel any time, and free conversion from other report writers.
- Templates are .tpz files and inspections are .hzf files. On a Mac, copying the Home Inspector Pro folder moves both to another machine.
Where it is weaker
- The product has one plan, at $89 a month, with annual discounts available.
- Clients and agents export from HIP Office as a .csv file, which is emailed to you.
- On Windows, templates and contacts are in the Data folder under Program Files (x86).
