HomeGauge review
A mature inspection suite with broad workflow coverage at a paid monthly price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HomeGauge is home inspection software for inspectors who collect data in the field with a Companion app and complete reports using a Windows desktop report writer. It supports workflows involving inspectors, buyers, and real estate agents, combining report production with business administration. Custom templates and comment libraries help shape reports, while multiple report formats, online delivery, customer dashboards, notifications, and repair request lists extend the product beyond basic field notes.
Its strongest case is breadth across the inspection workflow. Appointment scheduling, online agreements and signatures, payment collection, report locking, and online storage sit alongside photo, video, drawing, and annotation tools. The Create Request List repair tool adds a client-facing step after the inspection. HomeGauge is available across web, Windows, iOS, and Android, although the core report-writing experience is centered on the Windows desktop application. That combination fits established businesses that need connected tools rather than a narrow capture app.
The published plan is HomeGauge Software at $89 per month, with a 30-day trial. The plan includes the Desktop Report Writer with Companion app, online agreements, scheduling and payments, online report delivery and storage, and U.S.-based support. There is no free plan, so the recurring price matters for smaller operators or inspectors who need only basic reporting. Choose HomeGauge when templates, client communication, scheduling, payments, and repair requests belong in one workflow. Inspectors seeking a simpler or lower-cost reporting tool may find its desktop-centered approach and wider feature set less suitable.
