If Fixle is in your client portal without your consent, here’s a 10-minute migration path.

Your own inspection templates are your work product. Exporting and re-using them in another platform is your right as the inspector. HomeScope only imports formats you export yourself — we don’t reverse-engineer Spectora’s proprietary default templates or brand assets.

No. Many of our users run both for one or two inspection cycles in parallel. You only cut off Spectora when you’re fully comfortable with HomeScope for live work.

Finish them on Spectora. Move new inspections to HomeScope. No data migration is required for completed work.

Read our Privacy Policy and Our Promise. In short: your client data never leaves your HomeScope account, is never sold, and is never used to train AI models. You can export and delete at any time.

Transparent answer: HomeScope’s vendor profiles on Capterra, G2, and Software Advice are being established as part of our Cycle 15+ outreach — not claimed yet. We intentionally did not backfill a profile with a marketing agency; we’re going through the standard vendor-claim process ourselves so every fact on those pages is first-party. Until the profiles propagate, the fastest apples-to-apples comparison is our own /pricing page, which lists $89/mo HomeScope vs $109/mo Spectora (or $90.83/mo effective on annual), plus InspectForge and Hive Inspect in one table — with archive.org links to every source. Check back in 30–90 days for live third-party profiles.

Spectora's annual plan works out to $90.83/mo effective ($1090 billed up front for 12 months), saving roughly $18.17/mo off the $109 monthly sticker. That makes the per-seat monthly sticker nearly tied with HomeScope's $89/mo — until you count seats. HomeScope includes 2 inspector seats in the base plan; Spectora includes 1 and bills $99/mo per extra inspector. Per-inspector math: HomeScope is $44.50/mo/seat vs Spectora annual at $90.83/mo/seat, roughly 51% less. Also, HomeScope is month-to-month with no annual lock-in; Spectora's discounted rate requires a 12-month commitment paid up front.

TL;DR: Stripe Connect makes the inspector the merchant of record, so the homebuyer relationship (and the payout) sits in the inspector’s own Stripe account — not ours. Spectora routes invoicing through its own billing layer and leaves the inspector to reconcile payouts manually. With HomeScope, you connect a Stripe Express account at /dashboard/settings/payments in under 2 minutes. Each invoice link goes to the buyer with your business name on the statement descriptor; at charge time Stripe splits funds automatically — inspector keeps 95%, HomeScope platform retains a 5% application fee, and payouts land in your bank on Stripe’s standard rolling schedule (typically 2 business days). Per our Cycle 14 Phase 4 Q4 STRICT grep across Spectora, InspectForge, Hive Inspect, and InspectorData landing pages (keywords: stripe connect, marketplace, payment-split, application_fee), zero competitors surfaced equivalent Connect-native functionality. Boundary: if you are a 10+ inspector firm with a Stripe Enterprise contract already, talk to us about custom application_fee tiers — the default 5% is for solo and small teams.

TL;DR: A single inspector typically completes the migration in one working session (60–120 minutes total) across three phases. Phase 1 — Export from Spectora (10–15 minutes): Settings → Templates → Export each template you authored as JSON or PDF. Phase 2 — Import into HomeScope (15–30 minutes per template): Upload the JSON or paste it into /dashboard/templates/import; HomeScope converts sections, field types, and ordering into our structured finding format in under 60 seconds per file. Phase 3 — Re-upload embedded images and verify ordering (30–60 minutes): image assets inside Spectora templates do not transfer — you re-upload them manually (we intentionally do not scrape the source portal). There is no hard limit on custom sections or addenda: inspectors have imported templates with 40+ sections and 8–12 addenda (e.g., radon, sewer-scope, 203k). Larger template libraries (5+ templates × 30+ sections each) warrant a second session. Boundary: proprietary Spectora default templates and brand assets are theirs, not yours — bring your authored work only. See also /pricing for the 2-year TCO snapshot that assumes one-time migration cost.

TL;DR: Spectora is month-to-month for the monthly plan; the annual plan requires you to wait out the 12-month paid term or forfeit the unused portion. Step-by-step: (1) Inside Spectora, go to Settings → Billing → Manage Subscription and click Cancel. The dashboard will confirm your renewal date; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, not immediately. (2) Export every template you authored as JSON or PDF BEFORE the cancellation date — once the account lapses, export UI access is revoked. (3) Download PDFs of every completed inspection report you still need for insurance/E&O recordkeeping. Spectora retains data per their Privacy Policy, but regenerating a branded PDF after cancellation typically requires an annual reactivation. (4) On HomeScope, you are month-to-month on our $89/mo plan — no 12-month commitment, cancel any time. Boundary: if you have an enterprise or multi-seat contract with a custom termination clause, read §7 of your MSA; the self-serve Cancel button may not apply.

TL;DR: Yes — Stripe Connect Express is a separate account type from standalone, and KYC must be re-verified, but the second submission is usually 3–5 minutes because Stripe pre-fills known fields. Walkthrough: at /dashboard/settings/payments you click "Connect Stripe"; Stripe's hosted onboarding opens a new Express onboarding flow tied to the HomeScope platform account. You confirm business name, EIN or SSN, bank routing/account, and the statement descriptor that will appear on homebuyer cards. If you already verified identity on your standalone account, Stripe auto-recognizes your email and skips document upload in most cases — only the Express-specific platform agreement is new. Why Connect Express and not OAuth-into-standalone: Connect Express is what lets HomeScope apply a 5% application_fee at charge time and keep the inspector as merchant of record. Per our Cycle 14 Phase 4 Q4 STRICT grep, no competitor (Spectora, InspectForge, Hive Inspect, InspectorData) offers Connect-native invoice splits — this integration is the structural moat of HomeScope's 5% platform fee model. Boundary: if your standalone account has outstanding disputes or failed verifications, Stripe may require full re-verification on the Express side.
