Compare / RTI vs Raken
Ready To Inspect vs Raken
Daily reporting for the field: logs, time cards, toolbox talks and photos, aimed squarely at superintendents and foremen. RTI does one thing instead: it will not let an inspection be submitted until the photos that prove it exist, and it chains every record so the result holds up months later.

What each one costs
Ready To Inspect
$79 or $299 / mo, unlimited people
Crew at $79 a month and Company at $299 a month, both with unlimited people, a 30-day trial and no sales call before you can use it.
Raken
Quote only
Raken does not publish a list price. Its pricing page is a request form and describes Performance plans as one predictable price without counting sheets, users or photos.
rakenapp.com/request-pricingWhere Raken is strong
The fastest daily report in the category: a superintendent can finish one on a phone in a few minutes.
Time cards, toolbox talks and production tracking in the same app the daily log lives in.
Pricing framed as predictable and not metered by sheets, users or photos.
Where RTI works differently
A daily log records what happened that day. RTI records whether a specific point passed inspection, with the evidence attached to that point.
RTI's records are hash chained and independently verifiable, which is what a turnover package needs to be worth something in a dispute.
RTI publishes its price and starts with a 30-day trial, with no quote step before you can try it.
Capability by capability
Photo gate on submit
Ready To Inspect
Submit is blocked server side until mandatory items are answered and the minimum photos exist.
Raken
Photos attach to daily reports and checklists; we found no published block on submitting a report without them.
Tamper evident record
Ready To Inspect
Every submission, decision, markup, NCR step and client sign-off is written to a SHA-256 hash chain, so a later edit breaks the chain visibly.
Raken
Daily reports are timestamped and signed off; a cryptographic chain is not published.
QR to the checklist
Ready To Inspect
Scan the sticker on a room, unit, riser or panel to open its assigned checklist, one tap from the first item.
Raken
We could not find a published QR scan-to-checklist entry point.
Offline capture
Ready To Inspect
Answers and photos queue on the device and sync when a connection returns.
Raken
Offline capture in the mobile app with later sync.
Review board
Ready To Inspect
Board lanes for submitted, in review, approved and sent back; a send-back carries its reason on the record.
Raken
Reports route for review and signature; there is no Kanban board of inspection states.
Turnover package
Ready To Inspect
Approved work exports as a branded PDF with answers, photos, signatures and each record's audit trail, plus CSV data files.
Raken
Daily report PDFs go out automatically; project handover packages are not the focus.
Client signoff portal
Ready To Inspect
On the Company plan, a read-only sign-off portal for owners and their reps, separate from your internal workspace.
Raken
Reports are emailed to stakeholders rather than surfaced in a standing read-only portal.
Raken details above come from its own published pricing and product pages, read on September 3, 2026, and they change. Check rakenapp.com/request-pricing before you decide. A row marked as not published means we could not find it documented, not that the product cannot do it. Raken is a trademark of its owner; RTI is not affiliated with it.
Questions people ask
2 answers
- Does RTI replace daily reports?
- No. RTI does not do daily logs, time cards or toolbox talks, and it is not trying to. If daily reporting is your problem, keep the tool that solves it. RTI covers the inspection record: the photo gated pass or fail on a specific point, and the package that comes out of it at handover.
- What does Raken cost?
- Raken does not publish a list price; its pricing page is a request form describing one predictable price rather than per-sheet or per-photo metering. RTI publishes both of its prices, $79 and $299 a month, and starts with a 30-day trial.
