1. Cost Comparison: Pay-As-You-Use vs. Upfront Subscriptions

Property Inspection Manager (PIM) targets established offices by lock-in: their plans start from approximately **AUD $549/year per device**. If you have two property managers, you need two licenses. If you manage a small portfolio, the per-property cost is extremely high, and you are locked in for a full year.

ConditionIt is built to align with your business cashflow. We charge a small, transparent rate of just **A$1.15 (USD $0.75) per property per month**. If you have 30 properties, your bill is A$34.50/month. We have:

  • No device limits: Add as many staff or inspectors as you like. We only count properties.
  • No contract lock-ins: Pay month-by-month and pause or cancel anytime.
  • No setup fees: We don't charge you to configure templates or connect your account.

2. Interface Experience: Tapping Shorthand vs. Walking & Talking

To speed up inspections, PIM provides custom shorthand text blocks and pre-saved comments. When you inspect a wall, you tap a button that inserts \"clean, tidy, no visible damage.\" If there is a scuff, you manually edit the text. While this is faster than typing from scratch, it still keeps your focus locked on the tablet screen.

ConditionIt removes the button-tapping paradigm. You record a continuous video walkthrough and dictate. You speak to the camera as if you were walking a client through. Our AI processes the audio, translates your words into structured PDF entries, and matches them to the relevant room automatically. You spend 5x less time tapping screens, and your reports are more detailed.

3. Self-Serve Simplicity

PIM's system requires setup, template configuration, and training before you feel comfortable using it.

ConditionIt is fully self-serve. You sign up, download nothing (it runs in any browser, fully offline-first), and run your first inspection in 60 seconds. If you need support, our documentation is open, and help is a click away.

Upgrade to a modern inspection workflow.

Save on software, eliminate device constraints, and let AI generate your condition reports.
