What Spectora does well
- Polished web reports and a large template library
- Big inspector community and training content
- Mature booking, agreements and payments
What inspectors say about it
- Price is the most common complaint, and Advanced adds a fee on every published inspection. source
- Insurance and warranty offers (Fixle) shown to clients in the portal; some inspectors felt it was forced on them. source
- Reports of sync failures and lost work, and an Android app that feels weaker than iOS. source
Why inspectors switch to HandoverCheck
- Free, all features
No plan to buy, no Advanced tier, no per-report fees, unlimited inspectors and office staff. Third-party costs only, at cost.
- AI that saves real time
Photo + voice note → a finished finding with severity, trade and cost range. AI summary and client Q&A.
- Offline that holds up
Every edit is saved on the device first; photos queue and retry. Per-item merge means two devices never overwrite each other.
- Your clients stay yours
No insurance, warranty or moving offers in your reports. We never share client data.
