Frequently Asked Questions

Is PoolVerify really a good Spectora alternative?

For California pool inspectors, yes. PoolVerify is purpose-built for BPC §7195 compliance with pre-configured templates. Spectora is a powerful general home inspection platform—great if you inspect homes, but overkill if you only do pools.

What does Spectora have that PoolVerify doesn't?

Spectora offers home inspection templates, AI-powered comments, built-in payment processing, scheduling, and multi-state support. If you need these features, Spectora is a better choice. If you focus on California pool inspections, PoolVerify is more focused and affordable.

Can I migrate from Spectora to PoolVerify?

You can start using PoolVerify immediately for new inspections. Historical records stay in Spectora. Many inspectors run both platforms during transition, then switch fully once comfortable.

Is PoolVerify only for California?

Currently, yes. PoolVerify's compliance templates are built specifically for California's BPC §7195 and HSC §115922 requirements. If you work outside California, Spectora's flexibility may be a better fit.

How much can I save switching from Spectora?

PoolVerify Starter costs $39/month (annual) vs Spectora's $99/month—that's $720/year in savings. If you're doing pool-only inspections, you get specialized tools at a lower price.
