A CompanyCam alternative that runs the rest of the job, too
CompanyCam is a photo documentation app, and a good one. JobSiteCore is a construction platform — quotes, scheduling, the time clock, change orders, a customer portal — with photo capture built in. If photos are the whole job, CompanyCam may be the better fit. If you pay for photos in one app and run the job in another, here is the honest comparison.
Every CompanyCam fact on this page was checked on CompanyCam’s own site on September 26, 2026.
Which one fits
Pick CompanyCam if…
- Long, high-resolution video is central to how you document. CompanyCam records 4K video on all plans, up to 5 or 10 minutes depending on the plan[2]. JobSiteCore records short clips.
- You want photo reports, checklists and a project feed from a dedicated tool, and you already run quotes, schedules and time in other software you like.
- You need single sign-on or a corporate portal — CompanyCam lists both on Enterprise[1]. JobSiteCore does not offer single sign-on.
Pick JobSiteCore if…
- Your crew shoots before anyone has made a project. In JobSiteCore, photos taken without a job go to a company-wide Unassigned inbox and get moved onto the right job later. CompanyCam’s help center says photos can’t be taken outside of a project[3].
- You want the photos and the job in one place: quotes with e-signature, change orders, scheduling, daily logs, a GPS time clock and a customer portal.
- You want an AI draft of a quote from a voice note, a photo, or a supplier’s quote — on every plan, within its monthly AI allowance.

Pricing snapshot (September 26, 2026)
- CompanyCam publishes its prices: Core $63/mo for 1 user, Crew $129/mo for 3 users, Scale $199/mo for 3 users, and $29/mo for each added user. Enterprise is a custom quote for 50+ users. Annual billing is discounted[1].
- JobSiteCore publishes every plan’s monthly and annual price, with the seats each plan includes, on /pricing. There is no photos-only plan: photo capture comes with every plan, alongside quoting and the rest of the job.
Moving over from CompanyCam
- Photos. Save the project photos you want to keep to your phone, then bring them onto the job in JobSiteCore straight from the camera roll or from any app’s share sheet. Uploads run in the background and pick up where they left off — even offline.
- Customers and jobs. There is no self-serve importer for a customer list today. Customers and jobs are created as you quote them, so most crews start with their open work.
- Your team. Invite your crew one at a time, or upload a CSV of email, name and role.
- Run both for a job or two. Keep CompanyCam until a few jobs have run start to finish in JobSiteCore.
Questions about switching from CompanyCam
Can JobSiteCore replace CompanyCam?
For most crews that document jobs with photos, yes: capture, job photo galleries and customer sharing are built in, next to quoting, scheduling and the time clock. If long 4K video is central to how you work, CompanyCam records up to 5 or 10 minutes depending on the plan; JobSiteCore records short clips.
Do I have to pick a project before taking a photo?
No. Photos taken without a job go to a company-wide Unassigned inbox, and you move them onto the right job later. CompanyCam’s help center says photos can’t be taken outside of a project.
Does JobSiteCore record video?
Yes, short clips that can be shared on the customer portal. For long, high-resolution video, CompanyCam goes further today.
How do the prices compare?
CompanyCam publishes Core at $63/mo for 1 user, Crew at $129/mo for 3 users and Scale at $199/mo, plus $29/mo per added user (checked September 26, 2026). JobSiteCore publishes every plan on its pricing page, and photo capture comes with every plan.
Can I bring my CompanyCam photos with me?
Yes. Save the photos you want to your phone, then import them onto the job from the camera roll or from any app’s share sheet.
