CompanyCam vs Jobsite Reel for Concrete & Paving Contractors

CompanyCam vs Jobsite Reel at a glance

Both apps take located photos, let you mark them up and produce a report. The overlap mostly ends there. CompanyCam details below come from companycam.com/features, its feature pages, companycam.com/download and companycam.com/pricing, checked on November 10, 2026.

“Not advertised” means we didn't find it on CompanyCam's feature, download or pricing pages. It doesn't mean CompanyCam can't do it some other way, so ask them if it matters to you.

What is CompanyCam?

CompanyCam is a photo documentation app built for contractors, and its integration list leans toward roofing and home-improvement software (AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Roofr, Leap). Every photo is time-stamped and saved by location, goes into unlimited cloud storage, and shows up for the whole team on their devices. Around that core it adds annotations, tags and labels, a project feed of recent updates, galleries, and a live project timeline you can share with a customer or subcontractor so they see new photos as you take them.

The CompanyCam app has also grown past photos: a price book, invoicing, proposals and on-site payments (US-based companies), checklists and a live job map on Crew, room measuring on Scale, AI-written reports and daily logs, and a Marketing Suite add-on.

CompanyCam review: strengths and limits for paving work

We're not going to give CompanyCam a score. We make a competing app, and we haven't run it on a real crew. What we can do is lay out what its own site shows and how that maps to concrete and paving work.

Where CompanyCam is strong

• Teams. Shared projects, comments with @mentions and team chat mean the office sees what the field shoots without anyone forwarding photos.
• Customers. A live timeline link and curated galleries keep a homeowner or adjuster updated without extra calls.
• The rest of your software. The integrations, plus Zapier, matter if your jobs already live in a CRM.
• Any device. iOS, Android and the web.

Where it's less of a fit for paving estimates

• No paving quantity math advertised. Annotations let you write a measurement on a photo, and Scale's room measuring uses LiDAR on supported iPhones and iPads. Neither turns a 20 ft × 12 ft patch at 3 in into tons.
• Pinned to the job, not to each repair on a map. Photos are saved by location, and Crew adds a live map of your jobs. For a parking lot with 30 separate repairs, what the client wants is each repair numbered on one map. We didn't find that described.
• Price scales with the plan. Core caps at two users, so a three-person crew starts on Crew. See CompanyCam pricing for the per-user math.

What Jobsite Reel does differently

Jobsite Reel is built for the estimate walk, before a job is sold. You open jobsitereel.com/app in Safari and add it to your Home Screen, with no App Store download and no account.

• Project → folders → areas. Folders are whatever you name them (“Building 3”, “Pool area”). Each area gets photos from the native iPhone camera, a GPS location, measurements, notes and an action.
• Quantities at each area. Choose Asphalt, Concrete Sidewalk or Concrete Curb / Curb & Gutter, enter the dimensions, and the area shows square feet, removal tons and replacement cubic yards (divisors and waste % editable in Settings). The formulas match our asphalt tonnage calculator and curb and gutter calculator.
• GPS you can check and fix. Readings are averaged when you tap the camera, a live badge shows accuracy, and you can drag a pin on the satellite map (the original reading is kept). iPhone GPS is typically about 10–16 ft in open sky, so it isn't survey-grade.
• A report built around a map. One tap gives a PDF that opens with every area numbered on a satellite map (more on this below).

The limits are just as real: no Android or App Store app, no team sync or shared cloud projects, no comments or @mentions, no floor-plan pinning, no video, no web dashboard and no integrations. Data stays on the phone. You can back up a project as a file to Files or iCloud and export KML, CSV or JSON.

CompanyCam pricing vs Jobsite Reel pricing

These are the figures shown on CompanyCam's pricing page in a browser on November 10, 2026, in USD before tax:

One caveat: the comparison table in the page's underlying HTML, which is what some text-only tools and search snippets read, still listed Crew at $129 and Scale at $199 when we checked. The live page showed $119 and $249 billed annually. If you see the other numbers quoted, that's probably why. Confirm on the page before you buy.

For one estimator, CompanyCam Core billed annually is $63 × 12 = $756 a year, or $79 × 12 = $948 month to month. Jobsite Reel is $89.99 a year, or $9.99 × 12 = $119.88 month to month. That gap is real, but so is the difference in what you get: CompanyCam's price covers cloud storage, team features, integrations and sales tools that Jobsite Reel doesn't have. The full breakdown, including 3- and 5-person crews, is in our CompanyCam pricing guide.

Worked example: a 30-area HOA walk

A property manager asks for a repair proposal across an HOA community. You walk it and flag 30 areas: 12 sidewalk panels with trip hazards or cracking, 10 runs of curb & gutter, and 8 asphalt patches in the parking courts.

The field measurements

Take one sidewalk area: a 5 ft × 8 ft section, 4 in thick.

The whole walk adds up like this:

For the curb: 220 × 6 × 18 ÷ 144 = 165 CF of curb, and 220 × 24 × 8 ÷ 144 = 293.3 CF of gutter. The 159 divisor works out to roughly 151 lb per cubic foot. To turn these numbers into a price, see concrete sidewalk replacement cost.

What CompanyCam hands the client

In CompanyCam you'd create the project, shoot each area, annotate the photos with arrows and written measurements, and tag them by repair type. Two people can split the walk into the same project while the office comments, and the property manager can follow a live timeline link. The report comes from a pre-built layout or your own template, and the job can move on to a proposal and invoice, or into your CRM, without re-entry.

The quantities are the extra step. CompanyCam doesn't advertise tonnage or yardage math, so the 12.1 tons, 5.9 CY, 34.6 tons, 17.0 CY and 30.2 tons above would come from a spreadsheet or your estimating software.

What Jobsite Reel hands the client

In Jobsite Reel you work through three folders (Sidewalk, Curb & gutter, Asphalt). At each area you take the photos, type the dimensions and see the quantities immediately. One tap at the end builds the PDF:

• A cover with your logo, color and contact info.
• An overview satellite map with areas 1–30 numbered and colored by repair type, each number linking to its page.
• A quantity summary by folder with the totals above.
• One or two areas per page, with up to six marked-up photos, notes and a small satellite map.

Send it by text, email or AirDrop, export CSV for your estimate spreadsheet, or KML to see the areas in Google Earth. For trip hazards, the dimension-line markup is a quick way to record the offset; see what counts as a sidewalk trip hazard.

Choose CompanyCam if… / choose Jobsite Reel if…

Choose CompanyCam if:

• Several people shoot or review the same jobs, and you want team sync, unlimited cloud storage, comments, @mentions and team chat.
• Anyone on the crew uses Android, or the office works from a browser.
• Your jobs already run through AccuLynx, Jobber, JobNimbus, JobTread, Leap, QuickBooks Online, ServiceTitan or another integrated tool.
• You want customers following a live timeline, or proposals, invoices and on-site payments from the same app.
• You need video, checklists, assigned tasks, subcontractor access or AI-written reports.

Choose Jobsite Reel if:

• You're an estimator, owner or PM walking sites alone on an iPhone.
• Your work is sidewalk, curb & gutter or asphalt repair, and you want SF, tons and CY at each area instead of in a spreadsheet later.
• Your clients (HOAs, property managers, municipalities) read a numbered satellite map more easily than a photo feed.
• You want offline use with no account, and data that stays on your phone.
• You want one flat plan at $9.99 a month.

Plenty of companies could reasonably use both: CompanyCam for the crew on active jobs, Jobsite Reel for the estimate walk.

Frequently asked questions

What is CompanyCam?

CompanyCam is a photo documentation app for contractors. Photos and videos are time-stamped, saved by location and kept in unlimited cloud storage the whole team can see. It adds annotations, tags, a project feed, comments and team chat, shareable project timelines and galleries, reports and checklists, sales tools such as proposals and invoicing, and integrations with software like AccuLynx, Jobber, JobNimbus and QuickBooks Online. It runs on iOS, Android and the web.

How much does CompanyCam cost compared with Jobsite Reel?

As of November 2026, CompanyCam's pricing page lists Core at $63 a month billed annually ($79 month to month) with one user included, Crew at $119 ($149) and Scale at $249 ($299) with three users included, and $29 per additional user billed annually ($34 monthly). Enterprise is quoted for teams of 50+. Jobsite Reel is one single-user plan at $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year.

Is Jobsite Reel a CompanyCam alternative for a whole crew?

Not for live team work. Jobsite Reel stores data on the phone with no account and no cloud sync, so there are no shared projects, comments or @mentions. It suits one estimator walking a site. If several people need to document the same jobs, CompanyCam is the better fit.

Does CompanyCam calculate asphalt tons or concrete yards?

CompanyCam doesn't advertise built-in paving or concrete quantity math. Its annotations let you add measurements to photos as notes, and its Scale plan advertises measuring rooms from the camera, which uses LiDAR on supported iPhones and iPads. Jobsite Reel computes square feet, removal tons and replacement cubic yards for asphalt, sidewalk and curb and gutter as you enter dimensions.

Is the CompanyCam app available on Android?

Yes. CompanyCam's download page says it is available on iOS, Android and the web. Jobsite Reel is an iPhone web app opened in Safari and added to the Home Screen, built and tested for iPhone Safari only.
