Where InspectDay fits better
Teams of up to three inspectors who want one monthly price, with inspections captured 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.
- Inspections are unlimited on every plan, Free included. Publishing and sharing reports is not metered by plan.
- The free plan is one inspector and one template.
- New customers get a seven-day free trial on Solo and Team, at checkout.
- The phone app runs on Android and iOS, and the web app runs in any browser.
- 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.
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.
- Scheduling is by date only, with no calendar view and no client booking.
- InspectDay does not offer client agreements, signatures or client payments.
- Reports carry no website.
- On the phone, creating an inspection, choosing a template and opening a report need 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.
Where Inspector Toolbelt fits better
Inspectors who want five free reports to start, and a calendar for scheduling themselves or a team.
What it does well
- Five free reports, as fully functional web and PDF reports with no watermark. No credit card is needed to sign up.
- The app is usable with or without an internet connection.
- Android and Apple apps. On desktop, photos can be dragged and dropped into a report.
- Schedule yourself or your whole team with a few clicks, and view inspections on a calendar.
- A one-way ISN integration, in beta.
- In Settings, under Import, an exported Spectora template (.xls) can be uploaded.
- A full Square integration collects payments from clients.
- Clients can schedule inspections from the website.
- The inspection agreement is sent to the client automatically, signatures are captured, and the agreement is sent to you when complete.
Where it is weaker
- $79 a month, plus $35 a month for each additional inspector.
- After the five free reports, card details are added in the app.
- The template import article names Spectora as the only source.
