Is Mitti the Same as SafetyCulture? Every Inspection Software Rebrand, Explained

Yes. Mitti is SafetyCulture, which was iAuditor. The app became SafetyCulture on 21 November 2022 and became Mitti on 11 August 2026. Same product, same logins, same data. If that is all you came for, you can stop here.

If you are here because something stopped matching — a bookmark, an invoice, a support article, the name on a tablet that does not match the name in your induction pack — the rest of this page is for you.

We spent a week going through every rename, acquisition and quiet sunset in field inspection software. Fifteen cases. Six had a dated announcement. Seven had none at all.

But every single one left something physical behind. A package identifier. A copyright line nobody updated. A support address that still works. An app that vanished from a store. A redirect pointing somewhere unexpected.

That is the method of this article, and you should hold us to it: we do not tell you what a company meant. We show you the artefact, and we tell you how to check it yourself in under a minute.

1. iAuditor → SafetyCulture → Mitti

The artefact: the Android package identifier is still com.safetyculture.iauditor.

Two rebrands, and the immutable identifier underneath the app still carries a name retired in 2022. Package IDs cannot be changed without publishing an entirely new app and losing every install, every rating and every review. It will say iauditor for as long as the app exists.

Check it in twenty seconds: open the Google Play listing and look at the URL. The package ID is right there in the address bar. The iOS app ID is 499999532 — the same record issued in 2012.

What the company said

We were pigeonholed hard in safety and made the decision last year to change the name.

Luke Anear, founder and CEO, speaking to Forbes Australia, 11 August 2026.

The company's own changelog states there was "no change to logins, data, integrations, settings, permissions, or contracts on launch day." That is the vendor's claim, and we have seen nothing contradicting it.

What the plumbing says

• Every redirect we observed is a 302, not a 301. A 302 means temporary. For a permanent rebrand that is the wrong status code: less link authority passes through, and caches will not hold it.
• There are two live help centres. help.safetyculture.com does not redirect and is still SafetyCulture-branded. help.mitti.com exists alongside it. Individual articles redirect by ID; the home pages do not.
• The template library does not redirect at all. /library and /checklists — thousands of pages, the entire template estate — still carry the old branding.
• Three support addresses are live: support@mitti.com, support@safetyculture.io (on the official rebrand microsite), and support@safetyculture.com (on the Google Play listing).

The confusion, measured

Search "what happened to iAuditor" and the top organic result is a competitor's blog post explaining the name lineage — above the vendor's own page.

A rival owns the number one result for the vendor's own legacy name. Meanwhile Capterra, GetApp and TrustRadius all still serve the product on an /iAuditor/ URL, and TrustRadius has not yet caught up to "SafetyCulture", never mind Mitti.

What we could not establish

There is no evidence the legal entity was renamed. The App Store seller of record still reads SafetyCulture Pty Ltd. The safe description is that Mitti appears to be a trading name.

Sources also disagree on what the word means. Forbes reports it as soil; the company's COO has described it as middle, the centre of an operation. We are not going to resolve that for you — we are noting that two accounts exist.

The honest other side

This is the second rename in under four years. An organisation that rewrote its standard operating procedures, inductions, training modules and ISO documentation in 2022 is being asked to do it again in 2026. That is a real cost and it falls on the customer.

But "SafetyCulture" was a genuinely limiting name for a product that had grown into maintenance, training, asset management and operations. The company says it was pigeonholed. Looking at what the product does now, that is a fair description rather than a marketing line.

The question worth asking them

The CEO describes a product that prices its risk. The affiliated insurance business says it uses proprietary operational data to price risk based on what's happening.

That means operational data captured for safety compliance is an input to underwriting at an affiliated insurer. We could find no public statement governing how that works. It is a reasonable thing for a customer to ask about, and we would print the answer.

In fairness: the insurance product is available in Australia and the United States only, while the platform operates in more than 190 countries. For most customer organisations there is no insurance product to be directed toward.

2. Palm-Tech version 8

The artefact: the end-of-life date exists in one subordinate clause, inside a support article about making backups.

Even though support for Version 8 ended on Oct 2, 2023, we are able to help you get your Version 8 data into Palmtech Complete.

That sentence is the only public statement we could find of when Palm-Tech v8 died. We could find no announcement, blog post or press release dated before 2 October 2023. The date survives only retrospectively, in a data-migration help document.

We want to be precise here: "we could not find a notice" is not the same as "no notice was given." Customers may have been emailed. But nothing public survives, and that absence is itself the finding.

What it cost the people it happened to

We used Galaxy tablets with the old version that worked pretty good, then we were forced to buy PT Complete, The Galaxy Tablets wouldnt work with the new software so we were forced into buying Apple Mini tablets and we have had so many problems with them also.

Jim P., owner, reviewing on GetApp, 11 February 2026, rated 1 out of 5.

This IS NOT an apples-to-apples comparison… Microsoft leaves its users with a FULLY functional software, Palm Tech does not!

Gerden R., owner, Capterra, 13 December 2024, rated 1 out of 5.

That second quote is the crux, and it is worth sitting with. Version 8 users are not objecting to losing support. They are objecting to losing the software they had bought.

I purchased Palm-tech complete and can not figure it out… program is slow. It buffers after every entry.

Colleen C., owner, Capterra, 26 January 2024, rated 1 out of 5. She reports spending more than forty hours customising the new product and still not having it working. That is the only hard number we found anywhere for what rebuilding a template actually costs, and it is a floor rather than an average.

The mechanism nobody announced

Palmtech never published "we are dropping support for your device." It published a buying guide.

A help article titled "What devices work best with Palmtech?" sets a hardware floor of recent-generation Android devices — Galaxy Tab S7 or newer, Galaxy A53 or newer. An inspector running version 8 perfectly happily on a 2018 tablet fell below that line without ever being told he had.

A perpetual purchase also became a subscription at $50 per user per month, or $500 per user per year.

The second turn of the screw

Inspectors were pushed toward Apple hardware. The Palmtech iOS app has not shipped since 4 August 2024 — over two years — and carries a 3.0 rating from 23 ratings. The Android app shipped in July 2026.

They were moved onto the less-maintained of the two platforms.

There are also four names for one owner across the portfolio: the iOS listing says "Porch.com, Inc.", Android says "Porch Group", the website footer says "Palm-Tech", and the press release says "Porch Group Inc. Inspection Division."

The footer, incidentally, still reads "© Copyright 2026, Palm-Tech" while the site title says "Palmtech". We could find no date for when the hyphen was dropped.

3. HomeGauge and Spectora

Spectora acquired HomeGauge on 1 April 2025. HomeGauge had been owned by American Family Insurance since December 2017.

The artefact: the pricing page performs a sunset that nobody has announced.

HomeGauge's own pricing page now sells two competing products side by side, and the wording does the work no announcement has done. HomeGauge is described in the past tense — "a trusted desktop solution… a workflow inspectors have relied on for years." Spectora is described in the future tense — "a modern, all-in-one platform built for speed, automation, and growth."

Then check the release notes, which is where this becomes concrete. The cloud product shipped on 9 September, 26 August, 12 August, 29 July and 1 July 2026 — roughly fortnightly. HomeGauge Desktop's last clearly dated release was 17 December 2025.

That divergence in commit rate is what a quiet sunset looks like in telemetry.

We want to be careful: nobody has announced that HomeGauge is being discontinued, and we are not saying they have. We are showing you the pricing page's framing and the release cadence, and letting you draw your own conclusion.

The forum called it within forty-eight hours

I'm sure that this will mean prices of both programs will be going up... I predict this will be much like what Quickbooks has done to us... I now consider my accounting Software...as RansomWare.

Larry Morrison, CMI, InterNACHI forum, 3 April 2025.

I have been long term on the HG bus…In looking at Spectora…$810 per year for basic services after paying for long term up front with HG is a pretty steep hike.

Jordan Ballard, Washington licence #2303, InterNACHI forum, 2 April 2025.

I sure as hell hope this is an April Fool's joke

Christopher Currins, CMI, InterNACHI forum, 2 April 2025.

you're letting someone else run your company

rkenney, InterNACHI forum, 24 July 2025 — the ownership-versus-subscription argument compressed into six words.

One inspector, Ray Thoroman, CMI, reports renewing at around $499 a year and finding that his grandfathered legacy tier is no longer visible on the site. HomeGauge lists at $89 a month today, which is $1,068 a year. For a legacy customer losing grandfathered status, that is roughly a 2.1× increase.

What the vendors said

In the short term, nothing will change with current customer support, software, or services our inspectors rely on every day.

HomeGauge's own acquisition announcement, 1 April 2025. Note "in the short term" — that is the vendor's wording, not ours.

HomeGauge users are not required to switch to Spectora, and vice versa. You can continue to use the platform of your choice!

Spectora support article, updated 3 March 2026. Vendor claim.

A discrepancy worth flagging

Earlier reporting — including our own HomeGauge alternatives page — attributed a sentence to that Spectora support article stating that a new subscription is required to move across. That sentence is not present in the article as served today. Either it was edited, or it was never there and an extraction error introduced it.

We are flagging it rather than quietly dropping it, because a correction you can see is worth more than one you cannot.

One more thing that does not line up

Capterra rates HomeGauge 4.6 from 501 reviews, and not one review we retrieved mentions the acquisition at all. The forums and the review sites are describing different realities. That gap is worth knowing about whichever way you are leaning: the loudest voices are not always the representative ones, and the quiet ones are not always content.

The iOS companion app has not shipped since 29 July 2025 (2.9 stars from 39 ratings); Android shipped 24 June 2026 (4.1 stars from 187). Neither carries Spectora branding, and the seller of record is still SHGI Corporation.

4. Fleet Complete → Powerfleet

Powerfleet completed its acquisition of Fleet Complete on 1 October 2024. FC Inspect became Unity Inspect on 30 May 2025.

The artefact: the company find-and-replaced its own history.

A blog post dated 23 December 2019, about an award given in 2015, now carries the headline:

POWERFLEET (FORMERLY FLEET COMPLETE) IS ONE OF CANADA'S 2015 TOP ICT COMPANIES

The same substitution runs through the body text.

A site-wide find-and-replace was run across historical content, retroactively inserting a 2024-era brand into a 2015 award announcement about a company Powerfleet did not then own.

This is not a naming inconsistency. It is a corrupted archival record, and the practical consequence is that the vendor's own blog can no longer be trusted to date anything.

Four live names for one product

• The vendor blog and both app stores say Unity Inspect
• The marketing page says "Inspect by Powerfleet (formerly Fleet Complete)" — and the string "Unity Inspect" does not appear on it at all
• The legacy support portal says FC Inspect
• The app store seller of record is Complete Innovations Inc., a fourth name most customers have never seen

The marketing page tells drivers to download "Inspect by Powerfleet" from the app stores. Search the stores for that phrase and you find nothing, because the listing is called Unity Inspect.

Where they deserve real credit

The bundle identifiers were never changed. They are still com.fleetcomplete.drive.

Because of that, mobile device management assignments, volume purchase licences and managed app configurations all kept working straight through the rename. Nothing had to be re-pushed to a single driver's phone. No app was orphaned either — the renames were done in place on the existing listings, preserving the install base and review history.

That is the best-executed part of any rebrand in this entire set, and it is the opposite of what usually happens. It is worth saying plainly, because it is the difference between a rename that is annoying and one that costs a fleet manager a weekend.

Does a rename create a compliance problem?

No, and it is worth being exact about this rather than speculating.

49 CFR 396.11 does not require a driver vehicle inspection report to name the software or system used. Retention is three months. A rename does not, on its own, invalidate a DVIR or create a violation.

Where it does cause friction is narrower: your own written procedures and audit binders now name a product that no longer exists, and a three-month archive can straddle the rename. That is an explanation you will have to give, not a citation you will receive.

5. Safesite was never acquired

This one is a correction, and it is the case where the truth is more interesting than the rumour.

We went looking for the acquisition everyone assumes happened. It does not exist.

The artefact: one sentence on a careers page.

Foresight Group's two subsidiaries Foresight Risk and Insurance Services and Safesite Solutions work hand in hand to deliver workers' compensation coverage that rewards companies who commit to safety.

Safesite is a subsidiary of Foresight Group, sibling to Foresight Risk and Insurance Services. Safesite came first; Foresight was built from it; today Foresight Group is the holding company. The tail became the dog.

What actually happened

AM Best reported on 6 October 2022 that roughly 40 of about 100 employees were laid off — nine months after a $39 million Series B led by OMERS Ventures. Crunchbase's current headcount range of 11–50 suggests they never returned to that size.

A product that stopped blogging in July 2022, stopped issuing press releases in January 2022, and still shipped code on 1 July 2026 reads to any outside observer as "quietly acquired." It was not. It was restructured after a cut.

The reason the rumour persists is that none of the sources that explain it rank for the obvious question.

What a Safesite user should know

Safesite's pricing page has a third column that is not a software tier at all: workers' compensation insurance through Foresight, gated behind "Ask your broker about foresight."

Foresight's own site describes it this way:

Foresight is powered by Safesite, our proven proprietary safety management platform and coaching service included with every Foresight policy.

Note the phrasing — "our… proprietary." The insurer describes the software as its own product.

We are reporting that as structure, not scandal. A free safety app at the top of a funnel and a workers' compensation policy at the bottom is a legitimate business model. But a safety manager choosing Safesite on software merits should know they are entering an insurance distribution channel, because nothing on the way in makes that obvious.

Two details we will state without drawing conclusions. The iOS listing declares that "the developer does not collect any data from this app", which is a surprising declaration for an incident reporting platform. And Capterra's five most recent Safesite reviews are all from 2020 — six years with nothing newer, while the app continues to ship.

A caution if you go looking: there are at least three unrelated companies called Foresight, including a NASDAQ-listed autonomous vehicle company and a UK-listed investment group. Their news will contaminate every search you run.

6. Fiix and Rockwell Automation

Rockwell Automation completed its acquisition of Fiix on 25 January 2021.

The artefact: fiix.com now redirects to rightagents.com — a pay-per-lead marketing company with no connection to Fiix or Rockwell. We observed this on 15 September 2026.

The short-form brand domain appears to have left the owner's control. Old business cards, legacy backlinks and anyone typing the obvious address now arrive at an unrelated lead-generation business. The live product is at fiixsoftware.com.

Check it yourself: type fiix.com into a browser and watch where you land. We found no source anywhere discussing this, which means either we are the first to notice, or we are wrong in a way we cannot see. Either way it takes you five seconds to test, and we would rather publish it with that invitation than sit on it.

The quieter finding

The footer on the live product site reads:

Fiix® is a trademark of Rockwell Automation, Inc.

Fiix is no longer a company. It is a trademark. That is the whole acquisition story in nine words.

This is the case where the acquisition demonstrably helped

We are including this deliberately, because a series like this one attracts a narrative and the narrative is not always true.

Under a $9 billion industrial parent, Fiix kept its free tier (25 active preventive maintenance schedules, no card required, no expiry). Per-seat pricing is still published rather than hidden behind a sales call. Month-to-month billing survived five years. Support and login never moved off the product's own domain. It ships every few weeks — including a new mobile assistant in July 2026 and an iOS release around 10 September 2026 — and it has landed partnerships a standalone Fiix could never have reached.

Customers do still leave, and for ordinary reasons:

We did not use the software for a whole year, and they would not let us cancel our subscription because it had to be months ahead of time before our contract ended.

Riley C., chief operator, Capterra, 17 July 2025.

We are actually leaving Fiix and going to Emaint which is fully customizable and easy to work with and a much better value for the money.

Sam H., maintenance planner and CMMS administrator, Capterra, 16 March 2026.

Neither of those is about the acquisition. They are about contract terms and fit — which is what normal software dissatisfaction looks like.

The shorter cases

Driveroo Inspector has been delisted. Apple's lookup API returns {"resultCount":0,"results":[]} for the app in both the US and Canadian storefronts, meaning it is fully removed rather than region-restricted. We found no announcement, no date and no documented migration path. Meanwhile GetApp still lists it for sale at $99 a month with a "last updated August 2026" stamp. The login page at lp.roo.ai still carries the HTML title "Driveroo Inspector Login" while serving ROO.AI branding.

SnagR became RDrive, on a date we could not establish. The rebrand landing page claims "3,000+ organisations." The About page on the same website says "more than 95,000 projects for 100+ organisations worldwide." The legacy site says "over 5,000 projects." Three numbers, one company, a thirtyfold discrepancy. There are two live support knowledge bases, and rdrive.io/en/contact-us/ returns a 404. In fairness, "SnagR" names a single feature while the company now sells eight modules into shipbuilding, rail and data centres — that is a legitimate reason to move, and keeping "by SnagR" shows they know the old name has value. The criticism is the execution, not the decision.

Paragon became Owlytic. The German commercial register settles what marketing does not: Amtsgericht Stuttgart HRB 777118 is registered today as Owlytic GmbH and indexed under the former name. Same number, same court, same directors — a rename, not an acquisition. The timeline is the interesting part: they registered the "Paragon" trademark in February 2022, registered "Owlytic" in January 2023, and changed the name days later. They abandoned a trademark eleven months after registering it. The likely reason is a collision with a real American accounting firm called Paragon Audit — a German audit-software startup competing for search with an actual audit firm. The irony is that audit software is bought by people whose job is documented traceability, and you cannot trace this product's own provenance from the vendor's materials.

Porch Group raised ISN's prices and told investors. The press release is headlined "Porch Group Announces Inspection Product Enhancements and Price Increases" — enhancements and price rises in a single breath, dated 9 April 2024. It reports a minimum monthly fee increase and transaction fees up approximately 20%. It is addressed to shareholders. One customer describes the increase differently: Racole F., operations manager, writing on Capterra on 25 April 2023, reports costs that "doubled." Both can be true — a minimum-fee rise and a transaction-fee rise compound hardest on the smallest operator. Note also that the same April 2024 release announces a free ISN report writer, while Porch's own Palmtech charges $50 a month for one.

Pix4D's documentation and storefront disagree. The support pages still document perpetual licences with no discontinuation date. The pricing page offers only subscriptions, with a single line directing one-time-charge enquiries to sales. Perpetual licensing was withdrawn from public pricing rather than announced as ended. The vendor's reassurance — "No price change. Your pricing remains the same after the transition" — is true about your next invoice and says nothing about the structure underneath it.

The control case: how it looks when someone does it properly

Happy Inspector became HappyCo in December 2015, and did the four things almost nobody else in this article did: a dated announcement, on its own site, in its own voice, giving the reason — and still published eleven years later.

To celebrate our broader range of offerings, we officially become HappyCo.

And it still did not fully resolve.

Today the Android package identifier is com.happyinspector.mildred — the retired brand plus an internal codename that was never meant to be public, fossilised in every Play Store URL forever. The iOS seller of record is still Happy Inspector Pty Ltd. ZoomInfo, CB Insights, SaaSworthy, Facebook and Capterra each preserve a different old variant.

That is the lesson of this whole article. If a rename done correctly still leaves the old name in five public places after a decade, then a rename done silently — a dropped hyphen, an unannounced sunset, a find-and-replaced archive — will never resolve at all.

What we could not verify

Publishing our own gaps, because a list like this is worth more than a confident tone.

• Reddit was unreachable in all six research sessions. Every "no reaction found" in this article carries that asterisk. LinkedIn was robots-blocked, and for enterprise vendors that is the likeliest place an announcement would appear. Facebook groups are login-walled, and for home inspectors that is where the real conversation lives.
• Seven of the fifteen cases have no discoverable announcement date. We have not guessed at any of them.
• The fiix.com redirect is a single observation, made on 15 September 2026, that no other source discusses.
• The Owlytic register dates come from an aggregator, not from the German register directly. The 19 January 2023 date may be the filing date rather than the effective date.
• Several quotes reached us through an extraction layer rather than by hand. We have kept them short and distinctive, and named the reviewer, source and date on every one so you can find them.
• We could not establish whether Palm-Tech customers were given advance notice before 2 October 2023. Absence of a public record is not proof of absence of notice.
• We have put questions to several of these companies about the points above. We will publish the answers, or the silence.

The pattern underneath all of it

Fifteen cases. Six announcements. Seven silences.

And in every single case, the record of what actually happened survived somewhere nobody thought to tidy up — a package identifier, a copyright footer, a support address, a status code, an app's last-updated date.

The software industry renames itself constantly and documents it almost never. If you are trying to work out what happened to a tool you depend on, do not start with the press release. Start with the plumbing. It has no incentive to be tactful.
