Getting Started with Hometrace

Welcome to Hometrace. This guide walks you through getting set up and running your first inspection.

What is Hometrace?

Hometrace is a home inspection platform with a web dashboard, a mobile field app (iOS and Android), Voice AI, Photo Analysis AI, and a Hometrace Site that can bring leads in directly. New inspectors get a 30-day free trial.

Sign in

Inspectors sign in at hometrace.co/auth/signin with their account email and password, or with Google, Microsoft, or Apple if they connected one of those options. There is no magic-link sign-in flow for inspectors.

Clients and agents use the email address their inspector shared the report with. Hometrace sends them a secure email code or report link so they can open their client-facing dashboard without creating an inspector password.

Set yourself up

Four setup steps that pay off all month. Each takes about five minutes.

1. Set up your subscription. Start or manage your Hometrace subscription from the web dashboard or the mobile app.
2. Import your template. Bring your existing Spectora or Home Inspector Pro template in natively (CSV import for other tools).
3. Connect Stripe. Get paid through Hometrace from your first inspection.
4. Set up your Hometrace Site. Publish your site and start accepting booking requests directly.

Install the mobile app

The Hometrace mobile app is where field work happens: Voice AI, photo capture for Photo Analysis AI, and offline-first sync. Install it on the device you'll use during walkthroughs:

• iOS: Download on the App Store
• Android: Download on Google Play

See Using the Mobile App for offline-mode tips and field workflow guidance.

Run your first inspection

Once your template is imported and the mobile app is installed, you're ready. See Inspection Reports for a walkthrough of the inspection flow, including Voice AI and Photo Analysis AI.
