Inspectora vs renting the software.

An inspection register: what is due, what is overdue, and what was last done to each asset.

Competitor prices on this page read between 2026-09-03 and 2026-09-26, each row dated, each one read on the vendor's own page and linked in Sources.

The subscription math.

Yours Inspectora $79 once · self-hosted · your data on your server Buy once
Rented Fulcrum Professional $43 US and Elite $55 US per user license per month on the rendered cards, both on an annual subscription with a five-user minimum; Enterprise on request. The page's structured data still gives Elite as 39 (Professional 43) [1]

1 month of Fulcrum costs what Inspectora costs once.

What Fulcrum does that we don't. Fulcrum is a field-data platform around the inspection: offline capture, a drag-and-drop form builder, geospatial capability and ArcGIS connectivity.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. Fulcrum meters per user license per month on an annual commitment AND enforces a floor of five licenses, so a three-person team buys five.

“All plans require an annual subscription and a minimum of five users per organization.” Read 2026-09-26.

Who should stay with Fulcrum. Stay with Fulcrum if you need offline mobile capture, custom form building and GIS. Inspectora is the register, not the clipboard: what is due, what is overdue, and what was last done to it, with every due date computed from the last inspection rather than stored — single-tenant, on your own server.

How we counted. Stored at the vendor's OWN five-user minimum on Professional ($43 x 5 = $215/month), not the three-seat basis the other rows use, because Fulcrum will not sell fewer than five. Re-read 2026-09-26: the cards now render prices, and Elite's card reads $55 while the structured data still says 39; the $39 recorded on 2026-09-03 came from that data. Both are quoted rather than reconciled. Inspectora is $79 once, for however many people walk the round.

Rented GoAudits Starter $10 per user/month on annual billing; Enterprise $30 per user/month on annual billing. Both figures are the annual-commitment rate; the page offers "full access, no commitment" as a trial rather than as a plan [2]

3 months of GoAudits costs what Inspectora costs once.

What GoAudits does that we don't. GoAudits is the mobile audit app around the register — checklists, instant reports and action plans, with 24/7 support on the upper tier.
The fine print

How their pricing grows. GoAudits meters per user per month: every extra inspector is another seat every month, and the annual rate is the one advertised.

“starter $ 10 /user/month annual billing” Read 2026-09-03.

Who should stay with GoAudits. Stay with GoAudits if you want the phone app, the report templates and support at hand. Inspectora is the register underneath an inspection regime: what is due, what is overdue, what was last done to it — every due date computed from the last inspection rather than stored, on your own server.

How we counted. The Starter tier on the annual commitment, shown for a three-person inspection team (3 x $10 = $30/month) to match the MaintainX row beside it. Cheaper per head than either existing rival on this product, which is worth saying plainly. Inspectora is $79 once, for however many people walk the round.

Rented MaintainX Essential $20 per user/month billed annually ($25 billed monthly); Premium $65 per user/month billed annually ($75 billed monthly); Basic $0 ("Free forever"); Enterprise by demo, no price; requester accounts are free [3]

2 months of MaintainX costs what Inspectora costs once.

The fine print

How their pricing grows. MaintainX meters PER USER with a login — requester accounts are free, but everyone who actually does the work is a paid seat, every month.

“A user is defined as someone who uses the MaintainX app and has a unique login.”

Who should stay with MaintainX. Stay with MaintainX if you need work orders, parts inventory and maintenance planning — a real CMMS. Inspectora is the register of what is due and what was done, which is the part an audit asks about.

How we counted. The Essential tier on the annual commitment, for a three-person team: 3 x $20 = $60/month ($75 monthly). Inspectora needs a register of what is due, not parts inventory, so Essential is the fair tier; Fixora's comparison reads the same page and stores Premium, because it needs meter-based maintenance and parts. Both rows carry the same ladder and read date (2026-09-26). A free Basic tier exists. Inspectora is $79 once, whatever the team size.

Work out your own numbers.

The rented figures use the cited plan price above; per-seat plans scale by the seat count from that same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Also in this category.

Limble [4] No public price — quote-gated (verified). Standard, Premium+ and Enterprise plans are listed with no figures; the page routes to a price calculator. Limble names its tiers but publishes no number, so there is nothing to compare against except the shape of the deal. Recorded as quote-gated rather than estimated from a third-party site. Re-read 2026-09-26, unchanged since the 2026-09-07 read: Standard, Premium+ and Enterprise, each answering 'Calculate my price', no figure anywhere on the page. Both Limble rows (this one and Fixora's) cite the same URL and read date.
How their pricing grows. Limble does not publish a price at all: the figure arrives after a calculator and a conversation, which means it can be different for you than for the next buyer.
“Calculate my price”
Stay with Limble if you want a full CMMS with a vendor-managed rollout. Inspectora publishes its price on the page you are reading and is one payment.

Why owning beats renting here.

One payment

No per-month, per-seat or per-location fees: the license does not expire.

Your data

Your data sits on a server you choose; customer records are not held in a vendor's cloud unless you put them there.

No plan ceilings

Records, users and usage are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

If the vendor stops

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't: no one can switch your copy off, and keeping it up to date is in your hands.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply. The product page lists what Inspectora deliberately doesn't do.
