Comparison
InspectCloud vs CHAPPS
Two solid rental inspection tools with different roots. Here's the full breakdown so you pick the right fit.
US property inspection software. Move-in/move-out comparison, 360 photos, resident self-inspection, PMS two-way sync.
A rental inspection app plus back-office portal built by European real-estate pros, with editable legal texts.
InspectCloud is US-built property inspection software for property managers. The automatic move-in versus move-out comparison, 360-degree photos, video, voice dictation, bulk import, resident self-inspection, and two-way PMS sync are aimed at running inspections and deposits across a portfolio.
CHAPPS is a rental inspection app paired with a Rental Manager back-office portal, built by European real-estate professionals. It handles the full rental lifecycle from move-in to move-out, with customizable checklists that include editable legal texts and clauses, on-site signing, and a credit-based per-inspection price.
Both cover the rental lifecycle from move-in to move-out with offline capture and signed PDF reports. The differences are a handful of features, the pricing model, and market fit.

InspectCloud's automatic side-by-side comparison lines up a move-in and a move-out inspection and flags every change, which is the piece that settles a deposit. CHAPPS covers the full rental lifecycle from move-in to move-out and produces signed PDF reports, but an automatic side-by-side comparison view isn't something it advertises.
CHAPPS has a couple of genuine strengths here. Its checklists include editable legal texts and clauses, which is handy for formal lease compliance, and it prices per completed inspection with a credit model rather than a flat subscription. InspectCloud uses flat plans from $49 and includes resident self-inspection. Which pricing fits depends on your inspection volume.
InspectCloud adds 360-degree photos, video, voice dictation, bulk import, resident self-inspection, and two-way sync with US property management systems like Rent Manager, PROMAS, and AppFolio. CHAPPS is a strong rental-lifecycle tool with a European heritage and its own back-office portal. If you're a US property manager wanting deep PMS sync, InspectCloud is the closer fit.

CHAPPS manages the full rental lifecycle from move-in to move-out and generates signed PDF reports, but an automatic side-by-side comparison view isn't something it advertises. InspectCloud is built around that comparison.
InspectCloud uses flat plans starting at $49. CHAPPS prices at roughly EUR 260 per user per year plus a credit-based fee of about EUR 7.50 per completed report. Which is cheaper depends on how many inspections you run.
InspectCloud integrates two-way with Rent Manager and connects to PROMAS, AppFolio, and Buildium. CHAPPS offers a REST API but doesn't name specific US property management integrations.
