Two NZ-built apps, different approaches
Both InspectPro and InspectEasy are built by New Zealanders for the NZ inspection market. The key difference is in the approach. InspectPro is designed around speed and simplicity — get to the property, capture everything on your phone, and deliver the report before you leave. InspectEasy provides a template-based system with more configuration options. Both are legitimate choices, but the right one depends on how you prefer to work.
Photo annotation quality
Building inspection reports live and die by their photos. InspectPro's annotation tools let you draw arrows, circles, highlight areas, and add text labels directly on photos — creating clear, professional markups that tell the story of each finding. The annotations render cleanly in the final PDF at full resolution. If your reports are photo-heavy (and they should be), the quality of your annotation tools matters.
Report turnaround speed
InspectPro is built for on-site report completion. The workflow is designed so that by the time you walk out the front door, your report is ready to send. Photos are placed in sections as you capture them, preset comments handle common observations, and the PDF generates on your device in seconds. For inspectors who compete on turnaround time — and in the NZ market, same-day delivery is increasingly expected — speed is a significant advantage.
Australian market support
If you work across the Tasman or plan to expand into Australia, InspectPro includes templates and standards for Australian inspections — AS 4349 (building and pest), asbestos, and pool safety compliance. InspectEasy is primarily focused on the NZ market. For inspectors operating in both countries, InspectPro covers both without switching tools.
Customisation and templates
Both apps let you customise inspection templates to match your methodology. InspectPro's approach is to provide sensible defaults that work out of the box — aligned to NZS 4306 and other standards — with the ability to add, remove, and reorder sections. InspectEasy offers more granular template configuration. If you have a highly customised inspection methodology, evaluate both to see which fits your workflow.
Report presentation
The final report is what your client sees. InspectPro generates professionally formatted PDFs with your branding, structured sections, annotated photos, executive summaries, and clear recommendations. The report is delivered via a shareable link — your client can view it on any device without installing an app. First impressions matter, and the quality of your report reflects your professionalism.

The Verdict
InspectEasy is a solid NZ-built option and a legitimate competitor. If you need Android support or prefer a more template-configuration approach, it's worth evaluating.
InspectPro's strengths are speed, report quality, and photo annotations. If you want to complete and deliver reports on-site, produce polished PDFs that impress clients and agents, and have the option to work across NZ and AU — InspectPro is the app we'd recommend.
