A Spectora alternative with the website and agent portal included
Spectora is $109 a month plus $99 for each extra inspector, with the website and many business tools sold separately. iSpector includes them in the plan.
The short version
Spectora is the best-known name in home inspection software, with a polished report, a large template ecosystem and one flat price with unlimited inspections. iSpector offers the same core (reports, agreements, booking, payments, unlimited inspections) and adds an agent portal, a website on Team and an AI assistant that does office work, from $79 a month.

Our promise
iSpector never markets other companies' services to your clients
Some inspection software places third-party offers in front of the home buyers you inspect for. iSpector doesn't, on any plan.
No partner offers in your reports
Your reports, portals, emails and texts never carry insurance, warranty, security, utility or moving offers from other companies.
Your clients are your clients
We don't sell your clients' or agents' details, and we don't use them for our own purposes (see our privacy policy).
Only what you choose to offer
Add-ons, follow-ups and campaigns are your own services, sent only when you set them up.
Two things you may see: client pages show a small "Powered by iSpector" line, and if you switch on pay over time in Settings, invoices name the payment options you chose (Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay). iSpector takes no fee on either.
Why teams switch
Why choose iSpector over Spectora
Your website is in the plan
Team includes a website drafted for your inspection business, on your own domain, with online booking and instant quotes built in, for $149 a month.
A portal for agents, not just a link
Agents sign in to see every inspection their clients book with you, build repair requests from the findings and get updates at each milestone.
AI that does the office work
Flo, iSpector's assistant, books, reschedules and invoices from a sentence, and shows every change for you to approve. In the report, AI drafts and you decide.
Prices that work themselves out
Set square footage bands, year built and foundation modifiers, travel fees and discount codes once. Clients see the total as they book, and the office never re-prices by hand.
When Spectora may be the better fit
Spectora is a good fit if you want the most widely used report format, a big library of community templates and special forms, and you are happy to add the website and business tools as you grow.

iSpector vs Spectora questions
Something else on your mind? Ask us and a person will answer.
Is iSpector cheaper than Spectora?
For most businesses, yes. A solo inspector pays $79 a month on iSpector Solo and $109 on Spectora. Three inspectors pay $208/mo on Team (with 1 extra inspector), or $299/mo on Company on iSpector, and $307 a month on Spectora before the Advanced add-on or a website. Both have unlimited inspections.
Can I move my Spectora history to iSpector?
Yes. iSpector reads Spectora's Inspection Data export: clients, properties, services, buyer's agents, invoices and payments come across, and you can undo the import for 7 days. Imported inspections stay read-only so your history matches what you delivered.
Does iSpector have an agent portal like Spectora's Advanced plan?
iSpector's agent portal is on every plan. Agents sign in to see their clients' inspections, open reports you share with them and build repair requests from the findings.
What does Spectora have that iSpector does not?
Spectora has a larger community template library and special forms such as NPMA-33 and wind mitigation, and more years in the market. iSpector's starter templates and comment library are its own, and you can build or import your own templates.
