Comparing inspection software: the criteria that matter
We are a vendor — so this page gives you the comparison criteria rather than a scorecard where we win every row. Put every platform, including ours, against the same questions.
What genuinely separates platforms
Capture friction
The bay decides adoption. Count the taps to record a finding, and whether typing is required. Trial it with your slowest adopter, not your keenest.
Report quality
Ask every vendor for a real report their system produced. Read it as a customer. That single artefact tells you more than any feature grid.
Pricing honesty
Public pricing and a self-serve trial mean the vendor expects the product to sell itself. A demo-wall usually means the price flexes to the salesperson’s read of you.
Exit cost
Staff limits, lock-in terms and what happens to your inspection history if you leave — ask before you enter, not after.
PrestigeOS against its own criteria
Public pricing, 14-day self-serve trial, typing-optional capture, unlimited staff, staff-verified AI. We would rather you run the criteria against everyone than trust anyone’s comparison table — including ours. PrestigeOS pricing is public: Founder $200/month + GST (500 AI generations a month — the app’s published founding offer is limited to 10 workshops and closes 31 August 2026 or when the places are claimed), Growth $599/month + GST (1,500 AI generations) and Scale $999/month + GST (4,000 AI generations). Every plan has the full feature set, unlimited staff and mobile + desktop access, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial — current pricing always lives at app.startechprestige.com.au/plans.
