CompanyCam Review 2026: AI Photo Documentation That Proves the Work for Carpentry Crews

Updated October 16, 2026 – Tested Intelligence

Quick verdict: CompanyCam does one job and does it properly: every photo and video your carpenters take lands timestamped, location-tagged and filed under the right project, and its newer AI tools turn that pile of pictures into walkthroughs, documents and checklists. It will not estimate, schedule or invoice a job for you. For remodeling and finish carpentry crews tired of arguing from camera rolls, that narrow focus is the point. Plans start at $63/month billed annually.

What it is

CompanyCam, founded in 2015, is a visual-first jobsite documentation app for contractors. Take a photo in the app and it is stamped with the time and GPS location, stored in the cloud and organized into the project’s timeline automatically – no renaming files at the kitchen table, no digging through a phone gallery when a homeowner disputes what the wall looked like before it was opened up.

The AI layer is metered by credits and grows with your plan. The vendor’s own plan comparison lists an AI Walkthrough, AI-Powered Documents and AI Checklists, with 10 AI credits on the entry plan, 100 on the mid plan and unlimited AI on the top self-serve plan. Around that core sit before-and-after galleries, annotations, photo reports and daily logs, checklists your crew actually completes on site, and – on higher plans – LiDAR room measuring from the camera, dual video, and proposals built from voice notes and photos.

Key features

• Timestamped, GPS-tagged photos and video, auto-organized by project
• AI Walkthrough, AI-Powered Documents and AI Checklists, metered by plan credits
• Before-and-after galleries, annotations, captions and shareable photo reports
• Project timelines, daily logs, checklists and task assignment across crews
• LiDAR room measuring and dual video on supported Apple devices (higher plans)
• Proposals from voice notes and photos; price book and invoicing built in
• Offline capture that syncs when signal returns; integrations with Jobber and other contractor tools

Pricing

On the vendor’s pricing page, billed annually: Core is $63/month with one user included (two-user limit) and 10 AI credits; Crew is $129/month with three users included and 100 AI credits; Scale is $199/month with three users included, unlimited templates, reports and AI. Additional users are $29/month each on every plan. Enterprise, for 50-plus users, is quote-based. The page notes annual billing saves 20% over monthly, and a Marketing Suite (review requests, AI social content, Google Business Profile sync) is a paid add-on on all tiers. There is a free trial; there is no free plan.

Who it’s for

Remodeling, kitchen-and-bath and finish carpentry crews whose proof of work lives in photos: existing conditions before demo, framing and blocking before the drywall closes it in, cabinet installs, punch-list fixes and the final walkthrough. If you have ever lost money because nobody photographed what was inside a wall, CompanyCam is built for exactly that argument.

Who should skip it

Contractors shopping for one system to run the whole business. CompanyCam documents the job; it does not replace your estimating, scheduling or accounting stack, and its built-in invoicing is a convenience, not a bookkeeping platform. Also skip it if your crew will not actually open the app – a documentation system nobody feeds is just another subscription.

Pros

• Proof-grade records: time, place and project attached to every photo automatically
• AI walkthroughs, documents and checklists turn raw photos into client-ready output
• Simple enough that field crews adopt it without training sessions
• Transparent published pricing with a free trial

Cons

• Documentation only – you still need separate estimating and scheduling tools
• AI is credit-metered on Core and Crew; heavy AI use pushes you to Scale
• Per-user add-on fees add up as you put the whole crew on it
• LiDAR measuring and dual video need supported Apple hardware

FAQ

How much does CompanyCam cost?

$63/month for Core, $129 for Crew and $199 for Scale, billed annually, with extra users at $29/month each. Monthly billing costs more – the vendor says annual billing saves 20%.

What do CompanyCam’s AI tools actually do?

Per the vendor’s plan comparison: an AI Walkthrough, AI-Powered Documents and AI Checklists, plus AI-generated reports and updates. Usage is metered in credits – 10 a month on Core, 100 on Crew, unlimited on Scale.

Is CompanyCam useful for carpenters, or just roofers?

Roofers made it famous, but the workflow is trade-agnostic documentation: remodel and finish carpenters use it for existing-conditions records, in-wall proof before close-in, and before-and-after evidence at handover.

Bottom line

CompanyCam is the photo discipline your crew keeps promising itself, enforced by software and topped with genuinely useful AI paperwork. Buy it to document, not to manage – paired with the estimating tool you already run, it earns its $63 from the first disputed wall.
