Where InspectDay fits better
Inspectors who work from a phone and need opened inspections to stay on the device, on one monthly price.
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.
- Client agreements, signatures and client payments are not offered.
- On the phone, creating an inspection 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.
- Reports carry no website.
- There is no Windows app. The phone app runs on Android and iOS, and the web app runs in any browser.
Where Palm-Tech fits better
Inspectors who want every feature on a per-user plan, with a schedule, a calendar, agreements and payments in the app.
What it does well
- All pricing models include 100% of Palm-Tech's features, and updates are never paid for.
- A free trial gives five free published inspections.
- The app schedules inspections, manages a calendar, gets agreements signed, collects payments and writes reports.
- Templates import from Spectora and HomeGauge, keeping layout and language.
- The Android app works offline. An internet connection is needed only to upload or send reports.
- Every inspection can be exported as an XLSX file.
Where it is weaker
- Pricing is per user: $50 a user a month, or $500 a user a year.
- Import from other home inspection software is coming soon.
- Access runs to the end of the period after cancelling. Export your data before you cancel.
