There are no time limits and no credit cards required. You can take as long as you need to build templates, learn the workflow, and run mock inspections completely for free.

With a free forever practice mode, you can explore everything at your own pace and set up a smoother workflow for the year ahead.

Why All-in-One Home Inspection Software Traps Inspectors (And Why a Specialist Stack Sets You Free)

“I want to switch software, but I feel stuck,” inspectors tell me all the time. That’s what all-in-one platforms do — they lock you in. In this blog, I explain why that happens and how SwiftReporter does things differently. Focused on reporting and paired with Square Appointments for scheduling and payments, you stay in control of your business — free, flexible, and improving every week. — Evan Sutter, Co-Founder, SwiftReporter
