Why teams switch

Why choose iSpector over Tap Inspect

Android, tablets and the browser

Write on an Android phone or tablet, or in any browser at the office. The inspector app works without signal and syncs when you reconnect.

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.

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.

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.

When Tap Inspect may be the better fit

Tap Inspect is a good fit for a part-time or new inspector on an iPhone or iPad who wants to pay per job, or a full-timer who wants a simple flat-price app.
