Not all home inspection software is created equal. Some tools help you run an entire business, while others just help you complete reports.
TapInspect is a lightweight, mobile-friendly reporting app that automates basic admin tasks – like scheduling, SMS reminders, and report templates – but it stops short of full business management tools.
ISN, on the other hand, is a business powerhouse. With ISN, inspectors can write interactive reports, automate workflows to save time, glean business insights from ISN’s powerful analytics tools, and generate more revenue via the software’s built-in upsell capabilities.
If you just need a reporting app, TapInspect works. But if you want software that helps you scale, ISN is the way to go.
AI features: Both have it, but ISN uses it more
Both platforms use AI, but TapInspect’s AI focuses on scheduling and reminders, while ISN’s AI improves reporting and business automation.
For example, ISN’s AI Comment Helper suggests intelligent, customizable comments, speeding up your report writing.
Both platforms reduce manual work, but ISN automates more of your entire workflow – from inspections to payments and beyond.
Smarter scheduling and seamless communication: Why ISN goes further
Both platforms offer automated scheduling, SMS reminders, and email notifications, but ISN takes it a step further:
- Smart Scheduling assigns jobs based on availability, expertise, and location, optimizing routes and reducing downtime
- ISN’s scheduling is fully integrated with automated messaging, keeping clients and agents informed without extra work
TapInspect schedules appointments but doesn’t optimize assignments or centralize communication. If basic scheduling is enough, TapInspect works. If you want smarter scheduling and better client communication, ISN is the way to go.
Payment processing: ISN helps you get paid faster
When it comes to payments, TapInspect provides the basics, but ISN offers a fully integrated payment solution and the lowest rates in the industry.
With ISN’s built-in Guardian Payment Processing, you can accept payments directly through the platform – no need to rely on third-party processors like PayPal or Stripe. Plus, Guardian offers industry-best rates, along with automated payment reminders that help you stay on top of outstanding payments and reduce overdue balances.
For homebuyers who need flexibility, FlexFund allows them to pay through their title company at closing, while you get paid upfront, reducing cancellations and making higher-priced inspection services easier to sell.
Repair request builder: ISN helps agents, TapInspect doesn’t
Agents don’t just need to see what’s wrong – they need a quick way to create repair requests.
- ISN’s Repair Request Builder lets agents generate custom repair lists directly from the report
- TapInspect doesn’t have this feature, meaning agents must manually piece together repair requests
Want more agent referrals? ISN makes their job easier.
ISN works on any device – TapInspect is iOS only
Do you want to access your reports from anywhere, or are you fine being tied to an iPhone?
ISN works across Mac, iOS, Windows, and Android. Whether you’re at your desk or on-site, you have full access. But TapInspect is iOS-only, which limits flexibility for non-Apple users.
Take your business further with ISN
TapInspect offers easy report writing, but ISN also helps you run a business and helps you create additional revenue streams. Plus, with ISN Evergreen, you can earn up to $474 per inspection by offering homebuyers services like insurance and security – without creating extra work. Your software should do more than just create reports – it should help you build a thriving business.
