Fulcrum review

Fulcrum is the specialist pick for inspections tied to maps. Professional costs $43 per user a month on an annual subscription with a five user minimum, and includes offline data capture, a drag-and-drop builder, photo, audio, video, barcode, QR and signature capture, calculation and visibility logic, repeatable fields and linked records. Its geospatial tools stand out: automatic geotagging on records and photos, line and polygon capture, offline basemaps and layers, and ArcGIS Online integration. Elite, at $55, adds ArcGIS Enterprise connectivity, operational and query APIs, webhooks, audit logging, SSO and SCIM, and AI audio fast fill. For a restaurant chain or a small facilities team, that depth is more than needed and the price is the highest published on this list. For utilities, pipeline operators and public works crews inspecting assets across a territory, Fulcrum covers needs the checklist apps do not.
