What Reporthost does

ReportHost, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Seattle, provides a web-based home inspection reporting platform used by individual property inspectors and multi-inspector firms across the United States and Canada. The platform consists of two core products: the ReportHost web application for writing, customizing, publishing, and hosting inspection reports, and RH Mobile, a browser-based mobile application that supports offline inspections and syncs when connectivity returns. ReportHost's central differentiator is its library of pre-written, copyright-protected narrative comments — covering what's wrong, why it matters, and what to do — developed over more than 20 years by experienced inspectors and professional copyeditors. The platform offers standards-compliant templates aligned with InterNACHI, ASHI, NAHI, CAHPI, CREIA, FABI, and most state standards of practice, spanning standard residential, extended, commercial, condominium, multi-unit, pre-drywall, four-point insurance, pool/spa, and mold inspections.

The company operates a product-led, freemium go-to-market: new users receive 10 free reports upon registration (15 for members of partner associations), and reports are then priced at $6 each, with subscription plans reducing per-report costs to as low as $0.50. There are no annual fees, upgrade charges, or additional costs for mobile access, cloud hosting, or support. Distribution is self-serve via the website, supplemented by formal mutual referral partnerships with major North American inspection associations and free access for inspection students at partner technical schools. ReportHost also offers bi-directional integrations with Inspection Support Network (ISN) and NXTInspekt for scheduling/back-office data exchange, and embeds RecallChek appliance recall data into its inspection templates.

ReportHost is a privately held, bootstrapped company with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, leadership team, or financial figures. It operates without a parent company or subsidiaries and has survived two decades in a niche professional software market by maintaining a stable price point, expanding template coverage, and embedding itself within the industry's dominant trade associations.
