Tap Inspect

What Tap Inspect does

Tap Inspect is a bootstrapped, privately held SaaS company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, that provides mobile-first home inspection reporting software for iOS devices. Its core product enables home inspectors to conduct on-site inspections, capture data, photos, and voice notes on iPhone or iPad, and generate client-ready reports. Since inception the platform has facilitated more than one million cumulative home inspections. The company was co-founded by Jason Adams (System Architect) and Michael Wirth, a retired home inspector, which gives the product direct domain grounding. Tap Inspect operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and has remained self-funded throughout its operating history.

The platform consists of two primary components: the Tap Inspect mobile application for field use and Tap Inspect Autopilot, a cloud-based back-office system for managing schedules, clients, and reports. Adjacent offerings include Tap Inspect Academy, an inspector-education resource launched in April 2022, and a set of recent capability expansions: SMS Texting (October 2024, with availability in the US and Canada), Job Attachments (August 2025), Modern App v7 (March 2025), and a Web Scheduler (December 2025). The product integrates with Mailchimp, Google Drive, and Google Calendar, but the integration footprint is limited to these three connectors.

Tap Inspect monetizes through three subscription tiers: an Unlimited Plan at $90 per month per inspector, a Pay-as-You-Go option priced at $7.50 per job (capped at $75 per month), and a Team Plan at $45 per user per month that requires annual prepayment and a minimum of two users. The customer base consists of individual inspectors, part-time inspectors, and multi-inspector firms, primarily in the United States with SMS-texting availability in Canada. There are no disclosed enterprise customers, named logos, or ARR figures in the available data, and the company has not raised outside funding.
