What Home Inspector Pro does

Home Inspector Pro (HIP) is a vertical SaaS provider of home inspection reporting software, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Seattle, WA. The platform runs across Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, enabling licensed home inspectors to draft, customize, and deliver inspection reports on-site using features such as the built-in HIP Camera with instant annotation, voice recognition, video and 360-degree image embedding, team collaboration, and on-site client presentation. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Porch.com, Inc., and is positioned inside Porch's broader home-services software ecosystem that also includes Inspection Support Network (ISN), Palmtech, and InspectorPro E&O insurance.

The product suite centers on three layers: (1) Home Inspector Pro (and HIP Mobile) as the core report-writing software, (2) HIP Office and HIP Office Lite as business-management add-ons covering scheduling, online payments, automated texts/emails, contracts, financial reports, and third-party integrations, and (3) ancillary services such as custom cover-page design and a Foundation Package one-time purchase ($999) that bundles the desktop software with mandatory ongoing Office subscriptions. Pricing is subscription-based at $74/month for core software, $89/month bundled with HIP Office, $50/month or $29/month for Office tiers alone, with multi-inspector discounts and Training Partner pricing of $499 in year one. A free 30-day fully-functional trial anchors the product-led acquisition model.

Go-to-market is primarily product-led via direct website download, Apple App Store, Google Play, and a Training Partner referral program operated through Porch. Customers include individual licensed inspectors, multi-inspector firms, and inspection training schools across more than 20 countries and 10 languages, with 10,000+ active inspectors and 80+ Capterra reviews cited as social proof. AI features shipped to date include automatic translation of reports into six languages and an AI-powered email template generator introduced to HIP Office in March 2026.

Direct peers

• Inspection Support Network (ISN): Home inspection business management and reporting platform operated as a sibling product under Porch.com alongside HIP. Competes for the same end customer while being fully integrated with HIP Office, creating both partnership and cannibalization dynamics.
• Field Report (by Harris Inspect): Home inspection report writing software built around customizable templates and mobile data entry for individual inspectors. Competes with HIP in the SMB and solo inspector segment.
• Inspector Toolbelt: Home inspection software platform offering report writing, scheduling, and business management for individual inspectors and multi-inspector firms. Competes in the same vertical on similar feature categories.
• HomeGauge: Long-established home inspection report writing software with comparable template customization, mobile inspection, and client portal capabilities. Directly competes for the same SMB inspector and multi-inspector firm customers.
• Spectora: Cloud-native home inspection reporting software serving individual inspectors and multi-inspector firms. Directly competes with HIP on mobile report writing, scheduling, and client delivery, and represents the modern UX standard that incumbents must match.
• Palmtech: Inspection report writing software also owned by Porch.com and targeting the same residential inspection SMB market. Closely comparable in offering and customer profile, and consolidates under the same parent portfolio as HIP.

Emerging players

• SnapInspect: Mobile-first inspection reporting tool focused on streamlining on-site inspections with templates and photo capture. Overlaps with HIP on mobile field reporting and represents a newer entrant in the same category.

Broad incumbents

• ServiceTitan: Large field service management SaaS platform for home service businesses including inspection-adjacent trades. Represents a broader-incumbent alternative for multi-inspector firms weighing vertical depth (HIP) versus horizontal breadth (ServiceTitan).
