For most home inspectors, the report writer is the most important part of choosing inspection software. That’s where Home Inspector Pro shines, and where HomeGauge/Spectora struggle to keep up.
While HomeGauge now falls under Spectora’s umbrella, their offering is split: legacy desktop software from HomeGauge or a cloud-based platform from Spectora. Meanwhile, HIP gives you the best of both worlds – desktop and mobile, seamlessly integrated, packed with powerful tools, and backed by features that help you finish reports faster and impress clients every time.
Let’s take a closer look at what you actually get with each.
Where HIP pulls ahead
HIP is known for its flexibility, speed, and innovation, and the difference shows. From AI-powered translation to live team sync and photo annotation, HIP helps you write professional, interactive reports with less friction and more polish.
And while HomeGauge/Spectora talk a big game, they’re still catching up when it comes to importing competitor templates, translating reports, and real-time collaboration across devices.
