Side-by-Side Comparison

First Due is department-paid software. Guspora offers an AHJ compliance baseline plus approved add-ons.

Compliance visibility, three-party trust, and approved add-ons for expanded scope through Guspora’s AHJ Compliance Portal baseline and approved add-on model.

AHJ baseline access is limited to configured public-safety compliance workflows. Expanded capabilities require an approved paid plan or written agreement.

What Guspora Has That First Due Doesn’t

Three-Party Trust

Your inspectors, the building owner, and the contractor all see the same verified record. No more conflicting paperwork or finger-pointing. First Due only connects the department side.

AI-Powered Data Extraction

Milo reads submitted documents, extracts the relevant data, and flags issues automatically. Your inspectors spend time on buildings, not on data entry.

Building Owner Portal

Property owners log in and see compliance status, deficiencies, and deadlines for their buildings. They can pay invoices and pull compliance binders without calling anyone.

Insurance & Lender Portals

Insurance companies and lenders get read-only access to verified compliance records. Reduces E&O exposure and speeds up transactions.

Contractor Business Platform

The contractors submitting to your portal can also run their entire business on Guspora — scheduling, invoicing, accounting, HR. That is what funds your free access.

Permit Fees Stay With You

Connect YOUR existing payment processor. Stripe, Square, your municipal gateway, whatever you use. The money goes directly to your account. Guspora never touches it.

Department Adoption Support

Guspora supports fire department adoption through its AHJ Compliance Portal baseline and approved add-on onboarding model.
