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.
  • 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.
  • The only CSV export is the inspection list's columns.
  • 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.
