CompanyCam is the app a lot of roofers, restoration crews and GCs open fifty times a day. It's good at its job: snap the photo, tag it, mark it up, share it. So why do crews go looking for a CompanyCam alternative?
Usually for one of three reasons. The bill grows with every person you add. You're paying for CompanyCam on top of a separate app for estimates, scheduling and invoices. Or your client doesn't want a photo timeline at all. They want a signed report with findings in it, like a GPR scan report before the GC cores a slab, or a septic inspection for a house that's closing next week.
We make Clevra, so it's listed first. We'll also say where CompanyCam and the others do better, because on photos they often do.
Prices were checked on each company's own site on October 27, 2026.
Two bills for one job. CompanyCam started as a photo app. It has added proposals, invoices and payments, but plenty of crews still run Jobber, Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan for the office and CompanyCam on top. CompanyCam's own integrations list leans on exactly those apps.
The per-user math. Core is $63 a month billed yearly for 1 user, with a 2-user limit. Crew ($129) and Scale ($199) include 3 users, and every extra person is $29 a month. A 6-person crew on Crew pays about $216 a month billed yearly, before the field service app.
A report that has to stand up later. When we tested CompanyCam in October 2026, a report was an editable document. It had no lock, number or version. Its share link didn't expire and couldn't be revoked, and CompanyCam couldn't email the report itself, only copy the link. Signatures went through Dropbox Sign on an exported PDF, on the Scale plan. That's fine for a progress update to a homeowner. It's thin for a scan report a GC files, or a pass/fail septic report a lender reads.
AI starts on Crew. AI features are included on Crew, Scale and Enterprise. On Core you're on manual reports.
Clevra is one web app that takes a job from the first phone call to the paid invoice, with a Technician app for the field (iOS, in beta on TestFlight). It's built for 1 to 15 people: a solo locator with a truck full of paint and flags, or a scanning company running three crews across downtown pours.
The report. Build the form once with Clevra's checklists: text, number, checkbox, dropdown, date, yes/no, photo upload and signature fields, with required fields so nobody skips the limitations line. A GPR tech records the scan area by grid line, the depths, the targets marked and the paint color key, adds photos of the layout on the slab, and the GC's super signs. Clevra turns it into a PDF the client gets by email and sees in their portal. Checklists are on Pro and up.

The rest of the job. This is the part CompanyCam leaves to another app. The GC's request comes in through your request form, drawings attached. You send the estimate, they approve it online, and it becomes the job. You book it on the calendar or the map, the tech fills the report on site, and Generate Invoice bills it. The client pays by card from the link, and Clevra takes no platform fee on those payments. QuickBooks Online syncs on Pro.
AI. The AI Receptionist answers when you're under a slab or down a manhole and drops the request in your inbox. AI-written inspection reports draft the report from your readings and photos, ready to read over and send. On Pro and up, the AI Business Assistant answers questions from your own data, like "Which GCs haven't paid for October scans?", and the Clevra MCP server connects your account to Claude or ChatGPT.
Pricing. Flat per company, not per user (compare plans):
Where Clevra falls short. Clevra isn't a photo app, and CompanyCam is better at photos. There's no photo markup yet, no video, and no company-wide photo feed, tags, galleries, before-and-after shots or timeline links. The Technician app can't take photos yet, so photo questions are filled from the web app. Numbered, versioned inspection reports with revocable client links are in pilot with a small group of companies. Card payments are in US dollars only, and there's no Android app.
See how Clevra is set up for concrete scanning, utility locating, sewer camera inspection and septic crews.
BlitzzCam is the closest match to CompanyCam's core at a lower sticker price. It does GPS- and time-stamped photos, tags, markup, checklists, branded PDF reports and share links. Its AI Walkthrough turns a voice note into written notes, which helps when your hands are full of shingles. It's pitched at roofing, solar, HVAC, electrical and restoration crews.
It costs $39.99 a month billed yearly for 3 users ($49.99 monthly), and each extra user is $11.99 a month yearly or $14.99 monthly. There's a 14-day trial and no free plan. Like CompanyCam, it documents the job; you'll still need a separate app for estimates, scheduling and invoices.
Timemark is a timestamp and GPS camera with a shared team workspace. Every photo carries when and where it was taken, which settles a lot of "you were never here" arguments. The free plan covers 100 shared photos and 3 projects, Plus is $5 per user a month, and Business is $7 per user a month with 300,000 photos and unlimited projects. Prices vary by country.
It's the cheapest way to get proof photos from a big crew. It doesn't do proposals, invoices or a report builder you'd hand to a client.
Fieldwire, part of Hilti, is built around plans, tasks and punch lists for GCs and specialty contractors. You pin a photo to the sheet where the problem is, assign the fix and track it to done. Photos are on every plan, reports and exports start on Pro, and custom forms start on Business.
Basic is free for up to 5 users and 3 projects. Pro is $39 per user a month billed yearly, Business $64 and Business Plus $89. It's the pick when your work lives on drawings. For service calls billed job by job, it doesn't send estimates or invoices.
SiteCapture is guided photo capture. You set the shot list (meter, main panel, roof plane, inverter serial), the tech follows it, and every job comes back complete with a branded PDF report. Solar installers, property inspection firms and roofers use it.
Professional is $320 a month billed yearly ($375 monthly) for 10 users, plus $38 per extra user, up to 300 jobs a month. Premium is $720 yearly ($850 monthly) for 20 users and 600 jobs. Its pricing page also shows lower figures in a comparison table, so get the number in writing. The 10-user floor makes it a stretch for a 3-person crew.
If you'd rather have photos in the same app as your schedule and invoices, Housecall Pro is the bigger-name option. Basic is $59 a month billed yearly for 1 user. Essentials, at $149 for 5 users, adds photo reports and annotations, and MAX is $299 for 8 users plus $35 per extra user. Its help center says photo annotations and video uploads come with an add-on called HCP Cam, and that price isn't published.
It has polished iOS and Android apps and a 14-day trial. Reports are photos and notes rather than structured findings. See our Housecall Pro alternatives guide and Clevra vs Housecall Pro.
These aren't like-for-like, but they show where the money goes. All prices are billed yearly.
It depends on what you use CompanyCam for. For photo documentation at a lower price, BlitzzCam is the closest match. For crews whose client pays for a signed findings report and who want estimates, scheduling and invoices in the same app, Clevra. For plan-based construction work, Fieldwire.
Timemark and Fieldwire have free plans with limits: 100 shared photos and 3 projects on Timemark, 5 users and 3 projects on Fieldwire. Clevra's free plan covers 1 user for estimates, jobs, invoices and payments; report checklists start on Pro.
On October 27, 2026, CompanyCam listed Core at $63 a month, Crew at $129 and Scale at $199, billed yearly, with $29 per extra user and Enterprise pricing on request. Monthly billing costs more.
Photo apps like BlitzzCam and Timemark, construction apps like Fieldwire and Raken, guided capture like SiteCapture, field service apps with photo tools like Housecall Pro, and Clevra for report-driven trades.
For some crews. If your client pays for a findings report and you want the estimate and invoice in one app, Clevra can replace CompanyCam and your field service app together. If photos are the product, keep CompanyCam: Clevra has no photo markup, video or photo timeline yet.
Not yet. Photo questions in a checklist are filled from the web app. The Technician app (iOS beta) runs the tech's day, checklists without photos, the visit timer and payments recorded on site.
Run one job start to finish: take the request, send the estimate, fill the report on site, send the PDF and the invoice. The Free plan has no end date, and Pro or Business are free for 14 days, no card.
