Pricing and what you actually get
As of mid-2026, per its published pricing, Site Audit Pro is a £12.90 one-time app purchase with cloud sync at £59.99 per year per device. It is cheap, and for a single inspector producing an occasional snag report, that may be all you need. It is also in maintenance mode — a utility, not a platform, with per-device sync rather than team accounts.
BuildPunch starts free (1 project, 1 user, punch lists and photo reports included) and paid plans start at $59/mo for a 3-person team. The difference is not the report — both make one. It is what happens after the walkthrough: on BuildPunch every item is assigned, tracked, photo-verified, and visible to everyone on the job.

The honest verdict
Stay on Site Audit Pro if you are one person who occasionally needs a snag list PDF and nothing else. It is cheaper for that single use.
Move to BuildPunch if the punch list is something your team has to actually close out. The walkthrough report is just the start — every item becomes a tracked task with an owner, a deadline, and photo proof when it is fixed. Start on the free plan and run one walkthrough to see the difference.
Switching from Site Audit Pro is easy
- Keep your old Site Audit Pro PDFs — upload them to BuildPunch project documents for reference.
- Create a project and walk the site with the BuildPunch camera: each photo becomes a punch item in seconds.
- Assign items to subs as you go — they get notified and can respond from a free bilingual portal.
- Generate the branded PDF walkthrough report and email it or send a public share link.
There is no annual contract on either end of the move: BuildPunch is month-to-month, and the free plan lets you run one real project end-to-end before you pay anything.
Frequently asked questions
Is BuildPunch a Site Audit Pro alternative?
Yes. BuildPunch does everything Site Audit Pro does — photo-based walkthrough capture and branded PDF snag/punch reports — and then manages the closeout: assignment to subs, status tracking, photo-verified completion, and share links. There is a free plan to start.
Can BuildPunch generate a walkthrough report PDF like Site Audit Pro?
Yes. Walk the job, capture items with photos and notes, and export a branded PDF punch report in minutes. You can email it, download it, or send a public share link that requires no login.
Is Site Audit Pro still being developed?
As of mid-2026 Site Audit Pro appears to be in maintenance mode — the app works but is not gaining features. BuildPunch ships improvements continuously.
Do I have to pay per device like Site Audit Pro cloud sync?
No. BuildPunch accounts are per person, not per device, and work on web, iPhone, and Android with the same login. Plans are flat per company; subcontractors are free.
What happens to punch items after the walkthrough?
Each item is assigned to a responsible sub with photos and due dates. Subs mark work ready for review; you approve or reject with verification photos. Nothing falls through because the list lives in the app, not in a PDF attachment.
