Choosing the best home inspection software for your business comes down to a few facts: what it costs, which phones and computers it runs on, whether it works without a signal, and what it includes for scheduling, agreements, payments and AI. This guide sets out those facts for 13 tools that home inspectors use, side by side.
JetInspect, which publishes this page, is one of the 13. Every tool is described the same way, and every price and feature comes from the company’s own website and its App Store and Google Play listings, checked on November 7, 2026.

Here is the lowest listed price for one inspector at 10 and at 40 inspections a month, for the base software without paid add-ons, ordered by the 10-inspection price.

Some tools charge extra for other things: card processing, websites, text messaging and onboarding. Those are listed in each tool’s fact sheet below.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best home inspection software?
It depends on how you work. The tools differ most on four things: where you write the report (phone, computer or both), how you pay (monthly or per inspection), whether the app works without a signal, and which business tools are included. The tables on this page set those out side by side.
What is the best-value home inspection software?
Of the 13, the lowest monthly subscription for one inspector is JetInspect at $20, with scheduling, agreements, card payments and a one-page website included, then EZ Home Inspection at $40 and Palmtech at $50. For very few inspections, paying by the report can cost less: Tap Inspect charges $7.50 an inspection and ScribeWare $12 a report.
Which home inspection software works on Android?
All 13 except Tap Inspect have an Android app. HomeGauge's Android app is a companion for collecting observations, with the report finished on Windows.
Which home inspection software works offline?
JetInspect, Binsr, Hive Inspect, Inspector Toolbelt, InspectorData, ISN, ScribeWare, Spectora and Tap Inspect each say their apps work without a connection, and EZ Home Inspection on its mobile plan. Hive Inspect notes that its AI tools need a signal.
Which home inspection software has AI?
Ten of the 13 list AI features, from voice input with AI matching to your comment library (JetInspect) to drafting the whole report (InspectorData), suggesting comments (Spectora, ISN, Palmtech) and translating reports (Home Inspector Pro). We found none listed for EZ Home Inspection, HomeGauge or Tap Inspect.
Which home inspection software has a computer program?
HomeGauge (Windows), Home Inspector Pro (Windows and Mac), Palmtech (Windows), EZ Home Inspection (Windows and Mac) and ScribeWare (desktop download). The others run in a web browser.

Most companies offer some help. JetInspect imports your comment library from Spectora, HomeGauge, Home Inspector Pro, InspectIT or a spreadsheet; Hive Inspect migrates from several tools; Home Inspector Pro converts from other report writers for free; InspectorData imports old PDF reports; Palmtech imports Spectora and HomeGauge templates; and Binsr has a library importer.
Is there free home inspection software?
None of the 13 is free to keep using, but each has a free trial, from 2 inspections at Spectora to 30 days at JetInspect, EZ Home Inspection, HomeGauge, Home Inspector Pro and ISN.
Does Spectora own HomeGauge?
Yes. Spectora announced on April 1, 2025 that it had acquired HomeGauge, and HomeGauge's pricing page now offers both. Sources: Spectora announcement, HomeGauge pricing page.
