COMPARISON · FULCRUM

Fulcrum alternative for marine surveyors: a survey report, priced for one surveyor

Fulcrum is field data collection software from $43 per user a month, with an annual subscription and a 5-user minimum. Axsail is built for marine survey reports: findings from your voice, photos placed for you, priced per report.

Fulcrum is field data collection software. You build custom apps with a drag and drop builder or its AI form builder, collect data with photos, audio, video and signatures, work offline, map records with geospatial tools and produce PDF reports. Its AI can fill forms by voice. Professional is $43 and Elite $55 per user a month, on an annual subscription with a minimum of five users.

If you're looking at Fulcrum, you want survey data captured properly on site. Axsail is built for one kind of field data, the marine survey, and for one person doing it: you talk through the boat, each finding is written for you, and the report is ready for your review.

Why surveyors choose Axsail

No form to build

A field data platform starts with building your app. Axsail's report already follows the structure buyers, insurers and lenders expect: particulars, scope, summary of recommendations, findings by system, measurements, overall condition, valuation and your certification. See our survey report templates.

Findings from a walk-round

Voice filling a form still means answering the form's fields. On Axsail you say what you see, in your order. "Foredeck, port stanchion base cracked, rebed and repair before use." The finding appears with its system, location, recommendation and a suggested priority, and a photo you take then lands on it.

Frequently asked

How much does Fulcrum cost?

As listed on its site, Professional is $43 and Elite $55 per user license a month, with an annual subscription and a minimum of five users. For one surveyor that means paying for five, at least $2,580 a year. Axsail's Starter plan is €590 a year for one surveyor, with 40 credits.

Does Fulcrum have voice input?

Its site says its AI fills out forms by voice, and lists AI-based Audio FastFill on the Elite plan. You still build the form first. Axsail writes structured survey findings from your walk-round without a form to build.

Does Axsail work offline?

Yes. The phone turns your speech into text on its own, so recording carries on in the engine room or the bilge without signal. The text uploads and the findings catch up when you reconnect.

Can I try Axsail on a real survey?

Yes. New accounts get 4 free credits, with no card. Record your next survey on Axsail and compare the draft with your usual report.
