// Why switch

Reasons integratorsmake the move.

Where iPoint is strong

Decades of refinement in inventory management and back-office operations. For large commercial integrators running complex warehouse operations with multi-location stock tracking, iPoint's depth is hard to match. An established user base means proven workflows that have been battle-tested over years.

Where Specifi wins

Cloud-native with no Windows server, no desktop installs, no IT overhead: access your business from any device, anywhere. A full marketing suite (website builder, Echo social media, SEO tools, blogs) that iPoint simply doesn't offer. Bob the AI, SureBright extended warranty options, transparent tier-based pricing with all features at every tier, no hidden setup or migration costs. And active development velocity: 380+ features shipped since November 2024.

Bottom line

iPoint is a proven, deep operations platform for large commercial integrators who have Windows infrastructure and need mature inventory management. Specifi is the modern alternative: cloud-native, transparent pricing, a full marketing suite, and active development. If you're looking to replace a legacy system with something built for how integrators work in 2026, Specifi is the platform.

They switched. Theyhaven't looked back.

// Questions

What integratorstypically ask us.

Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch and we'll get back to you within a few hours.

Can I migrate from iPoint?
Yes. Our onboarding team has handled migrations from iPoint, including inventory data, client records, and project history. We'll map your existing structure into Specifi's cloud platform so nothing is lost.
Do I need Windows infrastructure to use Specifi?
No. Specifi is fully cloud-hosted — any modern browser on any device, plus native iOS and Android apps. No server, no desktop install, no IT overhead. That's the headline difference from iPoint, which requires on-premises Windows.
Isn't iPoint cheaper at $150 /month?
The $150/month base figure is just the entry point. Add $60 per user per month and the cost escalates quickly at any real team size — a 5-person team is already $450/month base. Setup, migration, and onboarding costs aren't publicly disclosed. Specifi's tier-based pricing includes every feature and every user at a flat fee with no surprises.
What does iPoint do better than Specifi?
Inventory. iPoint has decades of refinement in deep multi-location stock tracking and their workflows are battle-tested at scale. If your primary need is warehouse-grade inventory for a large commercial operation and you already have the Windows infrastructure, iPoint is a credible choice.
What does Specifi do that iPoint doesn't?
A full marketing suite (website, Echo social media, SEO and blogs, managed services), native Outlook alongside Gmail/calendar workflow, Bob the AI across the stack, SureBright extended warranty options, browser-first cloud access, and native apps for both iOS and Android. Plus active development with new capabilities shipping continuously.
