Built for NZ and AU, not the US market
Spectora is built for American home inspectors. Its templates follow US standards (InterNACHI, ASHI), its scheduling integrates with US real estate workflows, and its support team operates on US time zones. NZ and AU inspectors using Spectora need to rebuild templates from scratch to match local standards — NZS 4306, Healthy Homes, Building Code E2, or AS 4349. InspectPro is designed from the ground up for the NZ and AU market, with templates, terminology, and report formats that match how local inspectors work.
Reporting: PDF vs interactive web reports
Spectora's signature feature is interactive web-based reports where clients can click through findings, view photos in galleries, and filter by severity. It's polished and modern. InspectPro takes a different approach — producing clean, professional PDFs that clients can download, print, and share without needing a browser or internet connection. In NZ and AU, where real estate agents, lawyers, and insurance companies expect a PDF they can file, InspectPro's approach matches the local market expectation.
Simplicity vs feature breadth
Spectora bundles scheduling, agreements, payment processing, CRM, and marketing tools alongside inspection reporting. If you want a single platform to run every aspect of your business, that's appealing. But if you already use Xero for accounting, Google Calendar for scheduling, and just need a fast, reliable inspection reporting tool — InspectPro gives you exactly that without the complexity. Do one thing exceptionally well.
Mobile-first inspection workflow
Both tools work on mobile devices, but InspectPro is built mobile-first. The entire workflow — creating inspections, capturing photos, annotating findings, and generating reports — is designed for a phone in your hand at the property. Spectora's mobile experience is strong but exists alongside a web dashboard that handles much of the setup and configuration. InspectPro lets you do everything from your iPhone, including creating templates and customising reports.
Pricing comparison
Spectora's pricing includes a monthly subscription plus per-inspection fees that add up as your volume increases. InspectPro offers a flat subscription through the App Store — no per-inspection charges, no volume penalties. For busy inspectors doing multiple inspections per day, InspectPro's pricing model is simpler and more predictable.

The Verdict
Spectora is an excellent tool for American home inspectors who want an all-in-one business platform. Its interactive reports, scheduling, and payment features are well-built for the US market.
For NZ and AU building inspectors, InspectPro is the better fit. Local standards support, professional PDF reports that match market expectations, simple pricing without per-inspection fees, and a mobile-first workflow designed for how you actually inspect. If your clients are in New Zealand or Australia, InspectPro speaks their language.
