The best site inspection apps for iPhone, checked in September 2026

Picking a site inspection app comes down to one question that has nothing to do with the camera: what do you have to hand someone when you get back in the truck. A PDF for a client, a spreadsheet for a punch list, a shared photo stream for a crew, or a filed inspection record. The apps below split cleanly along that line.

All eight run on iPhone. Everything stated here was checked against each product's own website or App Store listing on September 3, 2026, and prices move, so treat the numbers as a starting point rather than a quote. Sitewise publishes this page and is one of the eight. Its entry is held to the same checks as the others, and the list is ordered by what each app produces, not by who wrote the page.

Three questions narrow the field fast

What comes out at the end? A formatted document is a different product from a photo library with a share link.

How many people are in it? Solo tools and crew tools are priced an order of magnitude apart, and the crew features are dead weight if you work alone.

Who is paying? A one-off App Store purchase, a personal subscription, and a per-seat plan your company approves are three different purchasing conversations.

Sitewise ends the walk with a finished document

Sitewise captures photos, voice notes, sketches drawn on the photo, and typed notes, stamping each one with the time and a GPS pin. Voice notes transcribe on the iPhone itself, and the project exports as a PDF or DOCX that you email from the site. It works with no signal and syncs later.

It runs on iPhone and iPad on iOS 26 or later, with no Android app and no web version, and it does not do scheduling, budgeting, CAD or e-signature. Free during the launch period, with no ads and no tracking.

CompanyCam is built for a crew sharing one photo stream

CompanyCam organizes job photos by GPS location into a live project feed, with annotations, video, document scanning, checklists and in-app messaging, plus photo reports built from what the crew shot. It runs on iOS, Android and the web, and its site lists more than sixty integrations including QuickBooks Online, Jobber, JobNimbus, ServiceTitan and AccuLynx.

Pricing as of September 2026, from their pricing page: Core at $63 a month with one user included, Crew at $129 a month with three, Scale at $199 a month with three, additional users $29 each, and Enterprise quoted for fifty or more users. All plans start with a free trial and no credit card.

Site Report Pro sells one price and exports a spreadsheet

Site Report Pro (listed as Site Report Pro+ Audit PDF Pro, from Pipe Flow Software) generates field inspection and punch list reports as PDF or Excel files, with forty report themes to choose from. The App Store listing covers iPhone and iPad on iOS 16 or later, plus Mac with Apple silicon and Apple Vision.

Pricing as of September 2026: $16.99 as a one-time purchase, and the listing states plainly that it does not require monthly or yearly subscription payments. Rare enough in this category to be worth naming.

Site Audit Pro is the cheapest route to a themed PDF

Site Audit Pro, from Veam Studios, records issues with assignees and annotated images, then exports a customizable PDF with a choice of themes, or CSV. Its own site lists iOS, Android and a web app for cloud projects. The App Store listing covers iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later.

Pricing as of September 2026: $12.90 up front on the App Store, with in-app cloud subscriptions at $7.49 a month or $64.99 a year. Their pricing page states the same in sterling, and notes that the iOS and Android apps are separate purchases.

Archireport aims squarely at construction administration

Archireport, from ArchiReport SAS, describes itself as a site management app for architects, general contractors and interior designers, producing PDF reports that pull together photos, drawings, plans and notes. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision on iOS 15 or later, and their site also lists Android and a web version.

The download is free with in-app purchases listed at $35.99 a month as of September 2026, and their site offers a 30-day trial with no credit card required. Of the apps here, it is the one most obviously shaped around an architect's visit-by-visit report cycle.

Fieldwire puts the punch list on the drawing

Fieldwire, now owned by Hilti, pairs a plan viewer that works offline with task management, so an inspection item is pinned to a location on the sheet rather than described in a caption. The App Store listing covers iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later, and names punch lists, checklist templates, markups, progress photos and automated reports.

Pricing as of September 2026, from their pricing page: Basic is free for up to five users, then Pro at $39, Business at $64 and Business Plus at $89 per user per month billed annually. If your inspections are anchored to drawings, the free tier alone is worth an afternoon.

Mitti, by SafetyCulture, is a checklist platform first

Mitti (by SafetyCulture) is a templates-and-checklists inspection platform: build or import a form, run it on site with photo and video evidence attached, work offline, then generate a report and track the issues raised. safetyculture.com now redirects to mitti.com, so older bookmarks and reviews under the old name point at the same product. The App Store listing covers iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision on iOS 17 or later.

Pricing as of September 2026: a free plan for up to ten team members with five active templates, Premium at $24 per seat per month billed annually or $29 monthly, and Enterprise quoted. Strongest fit when the inspection is a repeatable form rather than a freeform walk.

SnapInspect is property inspection, not construction snagging

SnapInspect is aimed at property managers, real estate professionals and inspectors, covering move-in and move-out inspections, annual inspections and due diligence walks. Photos and video go into branded, customizable reports, with side-by-side comparison between inspections, and their site lists iOS, Android and web.

Pricing is on their site rather than stated here, because the homepage links to a pricing page instead of naming a figure. Worth a look if your work is tenancy condition reports rather than construction defects.

What none of them fix

No app writes the observation for you. A photo captioned "damage" is worthless in every one of these products, and a photo captioned "hairline crack, 24 inches, north stair landing, third riser" is useful in all of them. The tool that gets you to the second caption fastest is usually the one that lets you talk instead of type. There is more on that in photo documentation for contractors.

Nor does any of them decide your file format for you. Ask the person who receives your reports what they do with the file. If it gets forwarded, PDF is right. If it gets edited before it goes out, you need DOCX or a spreadsheet, and that alone rules out most of this list.

Start with the report you sent last week

Pull up the last report you delivered and count the steps between the site and the send button. If the answer is "a laptop and forty minutes", the fastest fix is an app that finishes the document on the phone. If the answer is "I shared a link and the client called anyway", your problem is the caption, not the tool. And if three people need the same photos, the per-seat products are the honest answer even at their prices. Sitewise vs CompanyCam works that one through in full, and the number that decides it is how many people have to be inside the tool, not what the tool costs.
