Home Inspection Software Cost, Vendor by Vendor

Home inspection software cost is a single figure on every vendor's pricing page and a different figure on every firm's card statement, because the models differ: Spectora lists a monthly price and a further monthly price for each additional inspector; HomeGauge and Home Inspector Pro list one monthly price; ReportHost lists a price per report with no monthly fee and bundles above it; Palmtech lists a price per user; Intakez Pro is one price for the whole firm. This page sets the listed figures side by side as read on the date in the sources, says what each model does as the firm grows, and hands the arithmetic to the worksheet it supports, which multiplies each out for your inspectors and volume.

The listed figures, as read

Spectora: $109 a month, or $1,090 a year, with each additional team member at $99 a month or $999 a year. HomeGauge: $89 a month after a 30-day trial, with no annual price printed. Home Inspector Pro: $89 a month, with annual discounts available. ReportHost: $6 a report on the Classic plan with no monthly fee, and monthly bundles from $50 for ten reports. Palmtech: $50 a user a month, or $500 a user a year. Intakez Pro: $99 a month for the whole firm. Each competitor figure is recorded with its pricing page and retrieval date in the estate's claims ledger; a page that changes changes this one when it is next read.

What each model does as the firm grows

A per-inspector price steps up with every hire and stays up in a quiet month. A per-report price is close to nothing at four reports and painful at forty. A per-licence price is cheap until two people need to write at once. A per-user price is a per-inspector price by another name. A per-firm price is flat in January and June and flat when the third inspector joins. None of these is a trick, but the firm pays a multiple of the figure on the page, and the multiple is the firm's own shape.

Costing it for your firm

Three figures decide the annual cost: how many inspectors write reports, how many inspections the firm does a month, and how many months to cost. The worksheet this page supports takes those three and returns each vendor over the period and Intakez Pro per report at your volume, so a firm doing twelve reports a month with one inspector and a firm doing sixty with three see their own answers rather than a table drawn for somebody else.

What the cost does not include

Websites, per-inspection add-on tiers, payment processing fees and setup charges are listed by some vendors beside the core price, and they are not in the worksheet because they are not the cost of writing the report. The kit that takes the readings is a separate cost with its own worksheet on this site. What the report software costs is the figure on the pricing page multiplied by the firm's shape, and that is what this page and its worksheet work.

Two firms, worked from the listed figures

One inspector doing twelve reports a month: the per-report plan comes to $72 a month at the Classic rate and is the cheapest listed figure; the per-user plan is $50; the flat plans are $89, $99 or $109. Three inspectors doing sixty reports a month: the per-report plan is $360, the per-user plan $150, Spectora's base plus two team members $307, HomeGauge and Home Inspector Pro $89 each if one licence will do and more if it will not, Intakez Pro $99 for the firm. Same vendors, same printed prices, and the cheapest plan on the first line is the dearest on the second. The worksheet this page supports produces exactly that pair of lines for the numbers you enter.

Questions people ask about home inspection software cost

What does home inspection software cost for one inspector?

From $6 a report with no monthly fee at the per-report end to $109 a month at the top of the listed monthly prices, as read on the date in the sources. Which is cheaper depends on how many reports a month; the worksheet answers it for your volume.

Why is Intakez Pro $99 a month when some vendors list less?

Because it is one price for the whole firm rather than per inspector, per user or per report, and it is priced against the listed monthly figures of the category. For one inspector at low volume a per-user or per-report plan can be cheaper; with a second inspector or a busy month the flat plan is.

Do the listed prices include tax?

The vendor pages read for this site print prices without stating tax, and Intakez Pro's price line says nothing about tax because none is added at checkout. Read each vendor's checkout for its own position.

Is the annual price always the better deal?

Only for a firm that will still be writing reports in month eleven. The annual figures printed by Spectora and Palmtech are roughly ten months for twelve; a new inspector whose volume is uncertain pays more for the monthly plan and keeps the option of stopping, which for a first year is usually worth the difference.
