Basic vs Pro: What's Included in Each Plan
HomeCommand is document intelligence for homeowners: your inspection PDF becomes a structured home record — dashboard, issues, equipment, and maintenance — instead of a file you open once at closing.
Basic is free forever and covers that first inspection end-to-end. Pro is $15/month (14-day trial, no card to start) and adds the workflows you reach for once a home becomes a running operation: multiple files, chat, warranties, repair ballparks, contractor discovery, and more than one property.
Basic
No credit card required
Process one inspection per property through confirm → review → dashboard. You get health signals, structured issues and equipment, and a maintenance plan seeded from the same normalized model the rest of the app reads — not a PDF viewer with a logo.
Start for freePro
No card needed to start your trial
Everything in Basic, plus multi-document analysis, the AI assistant, warranty insights, repair cost ranges, local service pro discovery, and multiple properties — the same Pro surface area described on the feature pages.
Product deep dives
This guide is the contract. The features hub and pages below explain the experience in narrative form — same definitions of Basic vs Pro throughout.
Feature comparison
Rows in the first section ship on Basic at no charge and remain available on Pro. The second section is Pro-only — downgrade hides those surfaces, but your stored documents stay put.
| Feature | Basic | Pro |

| Document upload and storage Keep inspection PDFs and other property files in one place. Basic runs the full pipeline on one inspection; Pro analyzes across multiple uploads. | ✓ | ✓ |
| Single inspection report processing Upload → analysis → review → confirm — digital or scanned PDFs become structured homes, systems, equipment, and issues | ✓ | ✓ |
| Home dashboard & health score One triage-ready view after your first report is processed — not a folder of static files | ✓ | ✓ |
| Issue tracking & priorities Severities and categories extracted from the report so you can filter, share, and act without rereading every page | ✓ | ✓ |
| Equipment tracking Water heaters, HVAC, panels, and other noted equipment as first-class records tied to the same source of truth | ✓ | ✓ |
| Maintenance schedule Seasonal tasks seeded from your inspection-derived model — log completions and build history over time | ✓ | ✓ |
| Pro-only Requires active Pro (trial counts) | ||
| Multi-document analysis Layer inspections, warranties, invoices, and disclosures so chat, warranty views, and estimates share one coherent library | — | ✓ |
| AI chat assistant Plain-language questions over your uploads, with source traceability when the assistant relies on retrieved document context | — | ✓ |
| Warranty insights Coverage summaries, expiration signals, and claim contacts pulled from warranty PDFs instead of rereading fine print | — | ✓ |
| Repair cost estimates Ballpark ranges for common repairs (national averages) — useful for planning; always verify with local quotes | — | ✓ |
| Local service pro matching Trade- and location-aware discovery from structured issues. HomeCommand does not endorse providers — verify licenses, reviews, and pricing yourself | — | ✓ |
| Multiple properties Vacation homes, rentals, or a parent’s house — each with its own documents, dashboard, and analysis context | — | ✓ |
What Pro adds on top of Basic
Basic already gives you a serious home record from one inspection. Pro is for when the file cabinet grows — more documents, conversational access, warranty intelligence, planning numbers, contractor discovery, and more than one address under the same login.
Multi-document analysis
Merge inspections, warranties, invoices, and disclosures into the same brain your dashboard and assistant read from.
AI chat assistant
Ask the way you would text a knowledgeable friend — answers stay tied to the files you uploaded, not the open web.
Warranty insights
Automatic extraction of coverage language, expirations, and contacts so warranty PDFs are usable, not archived.
Repair estimates & service pros
Ballpark repair ranges plus contractor discovery from the same structured issues you already prioritized.
Multiple properties
Switch homes without juggling spreadsheets — each property keeps its own document stack and dashboard.
Common questions
Do I need a credit card to start the free trial?
No. You can start a 14-day Pro trial without entering any payment information. You will only be asked for a card if you choose to continue after the trial ends.
What happens to my data if I downgrade to Basic?
Your uploaded documents remain stored, and your single-inspection dashboard (issues, equipment, maintenance) stays intact. Pro-only surfaces — multi-document analysis, the AI assistant, warranty insights, repair cost estimates, and local service pro matching — are hidden until you subscribe again. If you re-upgrade, access to those workflows restores on the documents you already uploaded.
Is the AI assistant included on Basic?
No. The conversational assistant is Pro-only, for the same reason multi-document analysis is: it indexes the property library you build over time. See AI Home Assistant for detail.
Can I use HomeCommand for multiple properties on Pro?
Yes. Pro allows you to add and manage multiple properties under one account, each with its own documents, dashboard, and analysis.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your Pro subscription at any time. Your plan will remain active until the end of the current billing period.
