Keep Your Checklist. Change Your Software.
HI reads your existing HomeGauge (.ht5) template directly -- your categories, your checklist items, your comment library, in minutes. No rebuilding your inspection from scratch, no starting over.
Your checklist took years to get right. Switching software shouldn't mean rebuilding it.
Same Team. Same Engine. A New Trade.
"We built RVi for RV inspectors and realized partway through that nothing about it was actually RV-specific -- it was a template engine that happened to ship with RV checklists. HI is that same engine, pointed at home inspection, with a direct path in for anyone who already has their work saved in HomeGauge."
Built for Inspectors Who Know Their Craft
Most home inspections are done solo. HI is built for that reality -- with collaboration ready when a larger property needs more hands.
The Old Way
- Desktop software that ties your reports to one machine
- Rebuilding your checklist from scratch when you switch tools
- Platform consolidation you didn't ask for, deciding your roadmap for you
The HI Way
- Cloud-native data entry that works solo or with a team, from any device
- Bring your existing HomeGauge template in directly -- no rebuild
- Built for homes -- roofing, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
Two of the Industry's Most Trusted Platforms Just Became One
In April 2025, Spectora acquired HomeGauge* -- uniting two of the home inspection industry's most established software providers under one roof. If you've been on either platform for years, that's worth paying attention to, not because anything bad has happened yet, but because of what tends to happen when a market goes from several real options to one.
Why Consolidation Matters
- Fewer independent platforms means less competitive pressure to keep prices down or ship new features quickly
- A platform holding your report history and checklist gains leverage over you as the alternatives shrink -- switching used to mean rebuilding your entire checklist from scratch
- This isn't a prediction that any specific price hike or slowdown is coming -- it's just how markets with less competition tend to behave over time
Why HI Is a Real Alternative
- An independent, actively developed platform -- not a legacy product waiting on someone else's roadmap
- Direct HomeGauge (.ht5) import means switching doesn't cost you your checklist -- keeping your leverage where it belongs, with you
- No long-term contracts. If HI ever stops earning your business, you were never locked in to begin with
