Your data and your clients' data are never sold, and never used for marketing. And you get the founders' personal phone numbers. Whenever there's an issue, call or text us and we'll help you sort it out.
- One plan with every feature, nothing hidden

“Water stain on the ceiling under the upstairs bath. Still soft.”
“Water stain on the ceiling under the upstairs bath. Still soft.”
Water stain at ceiling below upstairs bath
Staining was observed at the hall ceiling directly below the upstairs bathroom. The drywall was soft to the touch, which indicates the leak may be active.
Recommendation: Have a licensed plumber evaluate the tub and toilet supply and drain lines and repair as needed.
You talk. Autodraft writes the finding in your own words, from your comment library. Nothing reaches a client until you approve it.
Built for where there’s no signal
Your upcoming jobs download to your phone before you leave. In the attic or the crawlspace, every finding, photo and voice note saves on the phone, and uploads on its own once you’re back outside.

Booking, email, invoicing, and your team
- Schedule
Day and week views for the whole crew, with availability rules and blocked-out time. A job that needs two inspectors is only offered at times when two are free. Reminders and client emails follow the appointment, so moving a job moves them too.
- Online booking
A booking page that quotes from your own pricing rules (square footage, bedrooms, units). Clients pick a time you're free, and the request arrives in your dashboard with the property and contact details filled in. Link to it or embed it on your site.
- Agreements
Upload your agreement and choose how many days before the inspection it goes out. The signed copy is kept exactly as signed, so editing your agreement later never changes what a client already agreed to.
- Client email
An editable email for each step (booked, confirmed, reminder, report ready, follow-up), with a choice of who receives it and a live preview beside the editor. Addresses that bounce or report spam stop getting mail, and every message sent is listed.
- Services and invoicing
A services catalog with your own pricing rules, itemized invoices, and card payments that go straight to your own Stripe account. We never hold your money.
- Templates and comment library
Areas, items, and findings in your own words. Build a template once and reuse it, and the comment library keeps your wording and severity calls consistent on every report. Import your Spectora templates and comment library directly.
- People and permissions
Invite by email, choose what each person can see and do, and add or drop seats as the crew changes. Seats are month to month, and removing one doesn't take a phone call.
- Insights
Your production and the team's, over any window: reports started and completed, findings by severity, publish rate, average days to complete, revenue collected, and whether your client emails are being delivered.
- Client and agent portals
Clients and agents get their own portal with their reports, agreements to sign, and invoices and receipts.
