Three tools that get grouped together but do different jobs
ePlanSoft runs plan review workflows for cities. CodeComply checks designs against building codes. InspectMind reviews a full drawing and spec set and reports what is wrong.
If you work at a building department and need to move submittals from intake to approval, ePlanSoft is the workflow tool. CodeComply automates code checks, for designers during design and for cities during review. InspectMind is for the people producing and building from the documents: upload a set and get back cited findings covering code, coordination and spec conflicts, before the city or the field finds them.
ePlanSoft describes itself as plan review software designed for local governments. Its products (including e-PlanREVIEW) cover intake routing, collaborative markup across disciplines on the same sheet, consolidated comment reports, resubmittal comparison and integrations with permitting systems. It describes AI for intake, review and response, such as sheet indexing to confirm a set is complete, while stating that AI does not replace reviewer expertise. Pricing is not published.
CodeComply sells AI building code compliance in three products: AI Compliance & Design for designers, AI Precheck for cities' pre-submittal intake, and AI Plan Review for city reviewers, which adds markup, revision comparison and plan chat. It covers ICC, NFPA, ADA and FHA codes plus local amendments, and is CivicPlus's plan review partner. Pricing is not published; the site offers demos.
InspectMind reviews the full set: drawings across disciplines, specifications and building code compliance. It flags dimension conflicts between views, MEP and structural coordination gaps, missing callouts and specs that contradict the drawings, each with the sheet and reference. It is self-serve with published pricing from $50 per check and a 5+ issues or full refund guarantee. Revised sets can be rechecked against earlier findings or city plan check comments. It does not offer city intake or permitting workflows.

ePlanSoft and CodeComply details reflect their public websites as of October 2026. Vendors change pricing and features; check their sites for the latest.
Choose ePlanSoft if you run a building department and need intake, markup, comment letters and resubmittal tracking in one system.
Consider CodeComply if code compliance is the main question, during design or during a city's review, and a demo-led purchase suits you.
Choose InspectMind if you need to know everything wrong with a set before you submit, bid or build, including coordination and plan check issues beyond code, and want to start today without a sales call.
ePlanSoft sells electronic plan review software to local governments: plan intake, multi-discipline markup, comment letters, resubmittal comparison and permitting integrations. It describes AI features for intake, review and response, such as sheet indexing, but its site does not claim automated code-compliance checking. Plan reviewers still write the comments.
CodeComply focuses on building code compliance (ICC, NFPA, ADA, FHA and local amendments), with products for designers and for city plan reviewers. InspectMind reviews the whole document set: code compliance plus cross-sheet coordination, dimension conflicts and specs that contradict the drawings. InspectMind is self-serve from $50 per check; CodeComply does not publish pricing and offers demos.
ePlanSoft is bought by jurisdictions, so applicants only see it through a city's submittal portal. Design firms choosing between CodeComply and InspectMind should decide whether they need code checks during design (CodeComply's design product) or a full-set review before permit, bid or construction (InspectMind).
