What the number leaves out
- Features differ. InspectForge Starter does not include scheduling or custom report branding, and it includes 5 voice-to-text uses a month. Tick the box above to price InspectForge Pro, which includes them. Compare what each plan includes, not just the price.
- Optional add-ons. Spectora's Advanced tier adds $4 an inspection if you choose it.
- Card processing. Payment processing fees are separate from these prices and vary by tool and provider.
- Extra inspectors. The calculator is for one inspector. Team pricing works differently from tool to tool.
- Very low volume. At 5 or fewer inspections a month, ISN and Tap Inspect's pay-as-you-go plan cost less than InspectForge Starter. The calculator shows that when you move the slider.
Common questions
How much does home inspection software cost a year?
For one inspector at 20 inspections a month, published list prices run from $480 to $1,740 a year when billed monthly: InspectForge Starter $480, Palm-Tech $600, HomeGauge and Home Inspector Pro $1,068, Tap Inspect $1,080, Spectora $1,308 and ISN $1,740.
Is per-inspection pricing cheaper than a flat monthly price?
At low volume, it can be. ISN's $7.25 an inspection stays under Spectora's $109 a month up to 15 inspections, and under $89 a month up to 12. Above that, a flat price is cheaper. ISN's rate drops to $5.50 after 50 inspections in a month.
Is Spectora charged per inspection?
No. Spectora's software is a flat $109 a month or $1,090 a year per inspector. Its optional Advanced tier adds $4 an inspection. The calculator leaves Advanced out because it is optional.
