What you are buying
Intakez: The intake on site, the report totalled from it, and the record of every inspection against its property
An established report-writing suite: A report writer with scheduling, agreements and payments folded into one suite
The home inspector who sells the pre-purchase inspection and writes its report: working alone or in a firm of a handful of inspectors, a few inspections a week to a few a day, with nobody whose job is the paperwork.Not the home buyer who ordered the inspection, not a person becoming an inspector, not a property manager writing a condition report, and not a mold, termite, sewer or wind-mitigation specialist. Those are different people with different documents.
Field inspection app for the home inspector: the checklist walked, the findings taken in on site and the branded report written before you leave the driveway (a home inspector app for the one-truck firm)
Intakez is for the home inspector in the United States who sells the pre-purchase inspection and writes its report: the licensed inspector working alone, or the owner of a firm with a handful of inspectors. The free worksheets cost the kit and the software for your firm and set out the checklist and the report template the inspection is written from. Pro keeps every property, client, inspection and saved report, brands the report and sends it out.
Intakez Pro is $99 per month for the whole firm, billed monthly.

Walk, take in, write, keep
An inspection is one record, and in most one-truck firms it lives in a phone's camera roll, a paper checklist and a report written up at the kitchen table that night
- The intake
- Every finding taken in on site, against the system it belongs to, with its photo and its severity Most report mistakes are made at the desk, hours after the house: a photo with no location, a defect nobody wrote down, a safety item that ended up in the wrong section. Taking the findings in as you walk, system by system, means the report is nearly written when you close the truck door.
- The report
- The report totals its own summary and goes out branded with your name and licence number The client reads the summary first and the agent reads nothing else. Items inspected, deficiencies, safety items and the systems not inspected with the reason are counted from the findings rather than typed, so the summary agrees with the body and the standard's report contents are met without anyone remembering them.
- The record
- Every inspection filed against its property and client, findable when a claim comes back A report in a sent email is a report nobody in the firm can find two years later when the buyer's lawyer writes. Keeping the inspection, its photos and the report against the property means the answer to 'what did we say about that furnace' takes seconds.
The worksheet is yours. Intakez Pro keeps the inspection it came from.
Upgrading turns the worksheet into the record. The checklist you walked becomes an inspection with its defects and safety items counted; the report you wrote becomes a document filed against the property and the client with the date it went out; the kit you costed becomes the list of instruments your readings came from. Nothing is retyped: what the worksheet computed is what the record keeps.
- Download the report summary or the checklist as a file to send to the client
- Your reports and checklists without our name on them
- Save a walked checklist and open it again when the re-inspection is booked
- Your firm name, logo and licence number on every printed document
- Send the report to the client and the agent from inside the record

Should you just buy the established report writer?
If you want a mature report writer with a scheduling calendar, online agreements and payment collection folded in, and you are happy to pay per inspector for it, one of the established vendors is the product and their pricing pages are cited on this site. If what you are missing is the intake on site and the record behind the report, at one price for the whole firm, that is what Intakez keeps.
How it starts
Intakez: You open it and add your first client and inspection; the free worksheets need no account at all

How it is priced
Intakez: One plan, one price for the whole firm, no per-inspector fee
An established report-writing suite: A monthly price per inspector or per licence, or a fee per report
Where the findings live

An established report-writing suite: Inside the suite, which is the point of the suite
The vendor prices on this site are the ones printed on each vendor's own pricing page on the day it was read (Spectora $109 a month and $99 a month per further inspector, HomeGauge $89 a month after the trial, Home Inspector Pro $89 a month, ReportHost $6 a report on its Classic plan, Palmtech $50 a user a month), each recorded with its source and retrieval date in the estate's claims ledger. No feature-for-feature table is drawn, deliberately: the suites bundle scheduling and payments the way their buyers want them, and this product does not.
