Appenate is the most flexible builder on this list for teams that want inspections to behave like custom apps. Standard costs $20 per user a month paid annually, or $25 monthly, with a 5 user minimum, and includes all screen types, standard connectors, unlimited storage and apps for iOS, Android and Windows, but caps form submissions at 1,500. Premium, at $28, makes submissions unlimited and adds all connectors, tasking and job dispatch, and document management, which is where most inspection programs will sit. Pro, at $36, adds unlimited AI use, an AI form generator and voice and photo fill. Add-ons cover multiple environments, data sync, dashboards, SQL replication, a self-hosted server and white-label apps. The flexibility comes with more setup than template-first tools such as GoAudits, so expect to spend time designing screens and data sources before the first inspection runs.
