Frequently asked questions
If something isn't covered here, email us at support@inspectorhub.io.
Is there really no other paywall?+
Yes. Every feature in the comparison table above is included in the per-seat price. We don't have a "Pro" or "Enterprise" tier that unlocks reports, templates, or AI features. The only variable is the number of active inspector seats on your account.
What counts as an "active inspector"?+
A seat is counted when an inspector account is active in your workspace during a billing period. If someone is deactivated mid-month, you're not charged for them at the next billing cycle. You're billed only for who is actively using the platform.
Can I switch from hosted to self-hosted?+
Yes, anytime. Export your data from the dashboard — inspections, templates, client records, and inspection history all export in standard formats. Deploy your own OpenInspection instance and import everything. Your workflow continues without interruption.
What happens when my free trial ends?+
Your trial ends on day 30. We'll send a reminder email before it expires. Nothing is charged automatically. If you choose to continue, you enter your payment details at that point. If you decide not to continue, your data remains accessible for 30 days so you can export everything.
What's the 30-day money-back guarantee?+
If you pay for your first month and decide it's not for you, email us within 30 days of your first charge. We'll issue a full refund, no questions asked. We'd rather you leave happy than stay unhappy.
Why is the open-source version free?+
Because the code is already public — there's no reason to charge you for something you could build yourself. The hosted service charges for the convenience, reliability, and support. Not for access to the software itself. Why we open-sourced it
What does AGPL v3 mean for me as an inspector?+
It means you can self-host it, modify it, and share modifications — as long as you keep those modifications open source too. For most inspectors running their own business, it has no practical restrictions. You can deploy it, use it commercially, and keep your inspection data private. The license only applies if you distribute a modified version to others.
What if Inspector Hub raises prices or shuts down?+
The AGPL v3 license means you always have the right to take the open-source code and run your own instance. If we ever raised prices to an unreasonable level, you could self-host for free — using the exact same code. If we shut down, the code remains on GitHub and the community can continue it independently. We've structurally limited our own leverage over you.
We can't lock you in.
Here's the proof.
The software source code is public on GitHub. The AGPL v3 license legally prevents us from ever closing the source or blocking self-hosting. If we raise prices or change terms you don't like, you can always fork the project and host your own version.
