Where InspectDay fits better
Teams of up to three inspectors who want one monthly price, with inspections 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.
- Inspections are unlimited on every plan, Free included, and publishing and sharing reports has no plan limit.
- 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 is for Android and iOS, and the web app works in any browser.
- On the phone, you can take photos and video and record voice notes. Photos can be marked up on Android and iOS.
- Opened inspections stay on the phone, and you can work on them with no connection. Changes wait to send.
Where it is weaker
- You cannot import or export templates, and templates keep no version history.
- You type client details into each inspection. There is no client list to choose from.
- Scheduling is by date only, with no calendar view and no client booking.
- You cannot send client agreements, collect signatures or take client payments.
- Your website cannot go on a report.
- On the phone, you need a connection to start an inspection, pick a template or open a report.
- Changes send only while the app is open. You cannot publish until queued changes finish syncing. Failed changes stay on the device until you retry or discard them.
Where ScribeWare fits better
Inspectors who want to pay per report to start, or an unlimited plan with online scheduling, payments and one-on-one support.
What it does well
- A la carte is $12 a report with no monthly fee, and the first three reports are free, with no card needed.
- Software support, introductory one-on-one meetings, and monthly Zoom meetups for continuing education.
- The subscription includes Scheduling+: 24/7 online appointment booking, smart intake forms, instant quotes, integrated card payments and automatic reminder messages.
- Reports are HTML web pages you can interact with, and they can also be published as PDFs.
- ScribeWare runs on Mac, PC, Android and iOS.
- In many cases it can help import your templates and libraries when you move to ScribeWare.
- With poor or no service, you can turn syncing off, and everything merges when you are back in the office.
Where it is weaker
