What inspectors say after switching

HomeGauge is old-school software at new-school prices. FieldScribe gave me AI features I didn't even know I needed, for less than one month of HomeGauge.

Marcus T.

Licensed Inspector, TX

I did the math. I was spending $1,100/year on HomeGauge. FieldScribe cost me $149 total. The voice-to-text alone saves me 2 hours a day.

Sarah K.

Property Inspector, CA

The AI rewrites my informal notes into proper liability-safe language. HomeGauge can't do anything close to that.

David R.

Commercial Inspector, FL

The smarter choice is obvious.

$149 once. AI included. Yours forever. No HomeGauge renewal anxiety.
