Best for

Teams that need mobile field work management with digital forms, offline capture, evidence, and corrective action tracking in one platform.

What you get

Mobile forms with a closeout loop: offline capture, photo and GPS proof, and corrective actions tracked to verified closure.

May not be a fit if you only need simple forms with no reporting or follow-up workflows.

Where Inspectly360 fits differently

Where GoCanvas works well: GoCanvas is a friendly mobile forms platform. It works well for teams that mainly want to replace paper forms quickly. The form builder is approachable, so a first set of digital forms reaches the field fast, with little effort.

From form completion to verified closeout

GoCanvas is strong at digitising forms. Inspectly360 turns a failed inspection item into a corrective action with an owner and due date that only closes after re-inspection or photo proof.

Outcome: findings that get fixed and verified, not just recorded.

Evidence built into every finding

Photo, timestamp, and GPS attach automatically, so submissions carry the proof clients and auditors ask for.

Outcome: an audit trail without extra steps.

Multi-site visibility

Dashboards roll up completion and open issues across sites, so managers see the whole picture instead of reading individual form exports.

Outcome: one view across every location.

Switching from GoCanvas

How migration works

  1. 1Map your current GoCanvas forms and the data each captures.
  2. 2Rebuild the highest-use forms in Inspectly360, adding scoring and photo prompts where proof matters.
  3. 3Pilot with one site to confirm fields, logic, and reports match your current output.
  4. 4Roll out to remaining sites and enable corrective actions for forms that need follow-up.

Keep GoCanvas active through the pilot so data collection continues without a gap while the new forms are validated.

How pricing compares

GoCanvas is typically priced per user, so cost scales with headcount. Inspectly360 covers forms, evidence, reporting, and corrective actions in one platform. That can retire a separate reporting or action tool. Compare a quote for your real usage against the tools you can consolidate, not a per-seat list price.

We do not quote competitor pricing. See our pricing page or book a demo for a quote scoped to your team size.

Who should choose what

When GoCanvas may be enough

GoCanvas may be enough if replacing paper forms quickly is the whole goal. You need no scoring, no evidence trail, and no verified follow-up after submission.

When to choose Inspectly360

Choose Inspectly360 when forms need to become inspections with proof. A failed item should raise a tracked, verified action across multiple sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest alternative to GoCanvas?

Pricing depends on users, sites, and features, so there is no single cheapest answer. Inspectly360 lowers total cost by combining digital forms, evidence capture, automated reporting, and corrective action tracking in one platform, removing the spend and admin time of running separate tools. GoCanvas is often priced per user, so cost scales with headcount; the cheaper option changes with team size and site count. The most accurate comparison is a quote for your actual usage and workflow, weighed against the tools Inspectly360 lets you retire. A list price rarely reflects true cost once integrations and admin overhead are included.

GoCanvas vs Inspectly360: what's the difference?

GoCanvas is a user-friendly mobile forms platform that works well for teams that mainly need to replace paper forms quickly across many use cases. Inspectly360 also offers a form builder with offline capture, but it is built around inspections and audits, adding proof of work with photo, timestamp, and GPS, automated PDF reporting, and corrective actions with owners, due dates, and re-inspection. The practical difference is closeout. GoCanvas is strong at digitising forms; Inspectly360 is built to turn a failed item into a tracked, verified action. Comparing GoCanvas pricing and GoCanvas reviews alongside Inspectly360 helps confirm which fits your field work workflow.

Can I migrate my forms from GoCanvas?

Yes. Most teams recreate priority forms and workflows in Inspectly360 rather than importing one to one, which is usually faster and a good moment to remove duplicates and version drift. Map current forms and the data each captures, rebuild the highest-use ones first, then pilot with a single site or team to confirm fields, logic, and reports. After validation, roll out to remaining sites with onboarding support. Keeping GoCanvas active during the pilot avoids a hard cutover, so there is no gap in data collection while you switch from GoCanvas at scale.

Does Inspectly360 work offline like GoCanvas?

Yes. Forms and inspections run fully offline on iOS and Android. Field teams complete forms, capture photos, and record findings with no signal, and data syncs automatically when the device reconnects. This matters for remote sites and routes with weak coverage, where work must continue and nothing can be lost if connectivity drops mid-form. The web dashboard supports managers reviewing submissions online, but field work never depends on a connection. Offline is the default for every template, not a mode a user has to switch on before going on site.

Does Inspectly360 support corrective actions?

Yes. Any failed or flagged item from a form or inspection can become a corrective action with an owner, due date, and severity. Actions do not close on a status change alone. Closure can require a re-inspection or photo proof, so a completed action means the issue was fixed and verified. Managers track open, overdue, and closed actions on the dashboard, and reports carry the full finding-to-closure trail. This converts data collection into accountability and supports ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 nonconformity tracking, instead of leaving issues recorded but unresolved in a form archive.

Does Inspectly360 have native mobile apps?

Yes. Inspectly360 ships native iOS and Android apps built for field use, not a mobile web page. Native apps give faster photo capture, reliable offline storage, and dependable background sync, which matter when teams run many forms a day in poor coverage. A web dashboard complements the apps for managers and admins who review results, configure templates, and track corrective actions. Field teams use the apps for speed and reliability; managers use the dashboard for oversight, so each role works on the surface suited to its task.

Can vendors use Inspectly360?

Yes. Role-based access controls what each person can see and submit, scoped by site, assignment, and permission. Vendors and contractors complete assigned forms and inspections and upload evidence without seeing other clients, sites, or internal data. You decide which templates and locations each external account can reach, and their submissions enter the same evidence and corrective action workflow as internal teams. This keeps one audit trail across employees and third parties while protecting data boundaries, useful when contractors handle routine field work or remedial tasks that still require verified closure.

What reports can I export?

You can export client-ready PDF reports generated automatically from completed forms and inspections, including scores, photos, timestamps, GPS, and corrective action status for each finding. Reports share by email or through integrations, and dashboards give managers trend views across sites and form types. Because evidence and action status are part of the report, it shows not only what failed but whether it was resolved and verified. Branding and layout are template-controlled for consistency. There is no manual assembly step; the report reflects the field record exactly as captured.

Is Inspectly360 a good GoCanvas alternative?

It is a strong alternative when you need mobile field work management with forms, offline capture, evidence, and corrective actions in one workflow. GoCanvas is a capable forms tool, and teams whose only need is replacing paper quickly may find it sufficient. Inspectly360 fits better when offline reliability, photo and GPS proof, and verified closeout matter, and when failed items must become tracked actions with owners and due dates rather than entries in a form archive. If accountability and a defensible finding-to-closure trail are as important as the form itself, Inspectly360 is the stronger choice.
