SiteCam Alternatives for Concrete & Paving Contractors
Which of the SiteCam alternatives fits depends on what you need besides photos. CompanyCam fits trade companies that want photos tied to customer updates and invoicing. Fieldwire fits crews that work off plan sheets, and Raken fits contractors who run on daily reports and time tracking. Jobsite Reel fits a concrete or paving estimator who needs the quantities and a satellite-map report out of the same walk.
Key takeaways
- SiteCam is the baseline: iOS, Android and web, photos pinned to plans and maps, team sync. Free plan, or Pro at $26–$29 per user per month.
- CompanyCam is built for trade companies: photos plus customer updates, price book and invoicing. Core is $63/month billed annually and includes one user.
- Fieldwire is built around plan sheets and tasks. Free Basic plan; Pro is $39 per user per month billed annually.
- Raken is built around daily reports, time and production. Basic is $23 per user per month billed annually, with a 3-user minimum.
- Jobsite Reel is the one that works out SF, tons and CY at each area and puts them in a numbered satellite-map PDF. It's iPhone-only and single-user.
SiteCam alternatives at a glance

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jobsite Reel | Solo repair walks that need quantities and a map report | iPhone (Safari web app) | $9.99/month or $89.99/year (pricing); 14-day trial | Yes |
| SiteCam | Teams pinning photos to plans and maps | iOS, Android, web | Free plan; Pro $26/user/mo annual, $29 monthly | Not advertised |

“Not advertised” means we didn't find built-in square-foot, ton or cubic-yard math for paving or concrete on the vendor's site. It doesn't mean the app can't hold numbers you work out yourself.
What to look for in a construction photo app
Most jobsite photo apps cover the basics: located photos, markup and a report. For a concrete or paving contractor, the differences are:
- Who uses it. One estimator on an iPhone, or a mixed crew on iPhone and Android with the office watching from a browser?
- What you pin photos to. Plan sheets suit new construction. A satellite map suits a parking lot, an HOA or a city block, where there's usually no drawing.
- Where the quantities come from. If the tons and yards end up in a spreadsheet anyway, count that as part of the workflow.
- What the client receives. A photo gallery, a daily report, or a proposal-ready PDF with locations and quantities?
- How the price scales. Per user, per company with users included, or with minimum seats.
Jobsite Reel: best for crews who need quantities and a satellite-map report
Jobsite Reel is an iPhone web app. You open jobsitereel.com/app in Safari and add it to your Home Screen. It's organized as project → folders you name (“Building 3”, “Pool area”) → areas. Each area gets photos from the native iPhone camera, a GPS location, measurements, notes and an action.
What makes it different from the other apps here is the field math. Pick Asphalt, Concrete Sidewalk or Concrete Curb / Curb & Gutter, enter the dimensions, and the area shows its quantities:
For example, a 20 ft × 12 ft asphalt patch at 3 in is 240 SF, and 240 ÷ 159 × 3 = 4.53 tons. Forty feet of 6 in × 18 in curb is 40 × 6 × 18 ÷ 144 = 30 CF, which is 30 ÷ 27 = 1.11 CY to pour and 30 × 12 ÷ 159 = 2.26 tons to haul. The divisors and waste % can be edited in Settings. The asphalt tonnage and curb and gutter guides walk through the formulas.
The report is one tap: a cover with your logo, color and contact info; an overview satellite map with every area numbered and colored by repair type; a quantity summary by folder; then area pages with up to six photos, notes and a small map. It also has photo markup (arrows, circles, boxes, dimension lines, text, pen), drag-to-correct GPS pins, offline use after the first open, and KML, CSV and JSON exports.
Where it falls short: no App Store or Android app, no team sync or shared cloud projects, no comments, no plan or blueprint pinning, no video and no web dashboard. Data stays on the phone. iPhone GPS is typically 10–16 ft in open sky, which is fine for finding a repair again but not for survey work. Pricing is one plan below SiteCam Pro. See the current price.
SiteCam: the baseline for teams pinning photos to plans and maps
SiteCam is a construction photo documentation app with iOS, Android and web apps. Photos are automatically timestamped and GPS-stamped and can be pinned to plans, elevations (PDF or JPEG) or maps, with pins colored by category. Adding photos to an existing pin builds a before/during/after timeline. You also get editable markup layers, tags and search, comment threads with @mentions, cloud backup on AWS, offline support on mobile, and PDF reports from templates or a share link.
SiteCam pricing as of November 2026 (sitecam.io/pricing): Free is $0 with unlimited team members, 3 projects, 500 photos, 25 reports, 1-minute video and a “Made with SiteCam.io” footer. Pro is $29 per user per month, or $26 billed annually ($312 a year), with unlimited projects, photos and reports, 10-minute video, admin roles and team billing. Enterprise is quote-only with a 50-user minimum. For a closer look against Jobsite Reel, including a 30-area HOA walk, read SiteCam vs Jobsite Reel.
CompanyCam: best for trade companies (and the usual CompanyCam alternative question)
CompanyCam belongs on any list of SiteCam alternatives. If you're actually looking for a CompanyCam alternative, the other apps on this list are its competitors too. Its site describes time- and location-stamped photos and video, galleries and timelines, annotations (“measurements, drawings, and more”), tags, in-app communication, a project feed, and integrations including AccuLynx, Jobber, JobNimbus, JobTread, Leap and QuickBooks Online. Its pricing FAQ says it works on iOS and Android, and the site shows a desktop view of the project feed. Plans also include sales-side features such as a price book, invoicing and on-site payment collection (US companies). AI features for reports and checklists are included on the Crew plan and above.
One measurement feature is worth knowing about: the Scale plan advertises “Measure rooms without leaving camera,” and the LiDAR capture behind it needs a supported iPhone or iPad. That's room measurement, not paving or concrete tonnage.
CompanyCam pricing as of November 2026 (companycam.com/pricing): Core is $63/month billed annually or $79 month to month, and includes one user (two-user limit). Additional users are $29 each billed annually. Crew is $119/month billed annually ($149 monthly) and Scale is $249/month billed annually ($299 monthly); each includes three users. Enterprise starts at 50+ users. Full breakdown: CompanyCam pricing.
Good fit: roofing, remodeling, restoration and other residential trades that sell, document and invoice in one place. Less of a fit: a paving estimate where the deliverable is tons and yards by location.
Fieldwire: best for crews who work off plan sheets
Fieldwire is a field management platform with photos inside it, not a photo app first. Its home page covers drawings on any device with versioning and hyperlinking, markups and as-builts recorded even when offline, tasks linked to the current drawings, and scheduled PDF reports. It lists iPhone, iPad and Android apps plus browser access.
Fieldwire pricing as of November 2026 (fieldwire.com/pricing): Basic is free for up to 5 users, 3 projects and 100 sheets. Pro is $39 per user per month billed annually and adds reports and exports, sheet compare and photo metadata stamps. Business is $64 and Business Plus is $89 per user per month billed annually.
Good fit: concrete subs on new construction who need the latest sheets, punch lists and tasks. Less of a fit: repair walks on existing sites with no drawings, where you'd be pinning to nothing.
Raken: best for daily reports, time and production tracking
Raken is built around the daily report. Its site describes crews collecting notes, photos and video clips in the field that upload to the web app, and a daily report generated as a shareable PDF. Higher tiers add time tracking (mobile time clock, kiosk, time cards), production tracking, and safety tools such as checklists, observations and toolbox talks. It lists iOS, Android and web apps, and has a trade page for concrete contractors.
Raken pricing as of November 2026 (rakenapp.com/pricing): Basic is $23 per user per month billed annually with a 3-user minimum ($69 a month for three users). Performance is $59 per user per month billed annually with the same minimum. Both have small discounts at 5 and 10 users.
Good fit: self-performing contractors who need daily logs, hours and production on active jobs. Less of a fit: a one-person estimate walk, since you'd pay for three seats.
What a year costs: worked example
Using the verified prices above (billed annually, before tax or any team discounts, as of November 2026):
| App and plan | 1 estimator, per year | 3-person crew, per year |
|---|---|---|
| SiteCam Pro | $26 × 12 = $312 | 3 × $312 = $936 |
| CompanyCam Core | $63 × 12 = $756 | Crew (3 users included): $119 × 12 = $1,428 |
| Fieldwire Pro | $39 × 12 = $468 | 3 × $468 = $1,404 |
| Raken Basic | 3-user minimum: $69 × 12 = $828 | $69 × 12 = $828 |
| Jobsite Reel | $9.99/month or $89.99/year (pricing) | Single-user app; no shared projects |
Two free options are worth trying before you pay anything: SiteCam Free (3 projects, 500 photos, 25 reports, with a SiteCam footer on reports) and Fieldwire Basic (5 users, 3 projects, 100 sheets). The cheapest plan isn't always the cheapest workflow, though. If an estimator spends an evening moving measurements from photos into a spreadsheet after every walk, count that time too. Our sidewalk replacement cost guide shows how those quantities turn into a price.
Which SiteCam alternative should you pick?
- A mixed iPhone/Android crew, photos on plans, office review in a browser: stay with SiteCam, or look at Fieldwire if you also need tasks and sheet management.
- A residential trade company that sells and invoices from the field: CompanyCam.
- A self-perform contractor running daily logs, time and production: Raken.
- A concrete, paving or sealcoating estimator walking HOAs, lots and sidewalks alone on an iPhone: Jobsite Reel. It's the only app here that works out quantities at each area, and the report opens with a numbered satellite map. Documenting trip hazards? See what counts as a sidewalk trip hazard.
If the crew needs team sync on active jobs and the estimator needs quantities on the walk, using two tools is reasonable. Start with whichever problem costs you more time each week.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best SiteCam alternative?
It depends on the job. CompanyCam suits residential trade companies that want photos tied to customer updates, price books and invoicing. Fieldwire suits crews that work off plan sheets and tasks. Raken suits contractors who live on daily reports, time and production tracking. Jobsite Reel suits a single iPhone user walking concrete, sidewalk, curb or asphalt repairs who needs quantities and a satellite-map PDF report.
What are CompanyCam's main competitors?
Common CompanyCam competitors include SiteCam (photo documentation with plan and map pins), Fieldwire (plan-based field management), Raken (daily reports, time and production tracking) and, for concrete and paving repair walks on iPhone, Jobsite Reel.
Is there a free construction photo app?
Yes. As of November 2026, SiteCam has a Free plan with unlimited team members, 3 projects, 500 photos and 25 reports (reports carry a SiteCam footer), and Fieldwire's Basic plan is free for up to 5 users, 3 projects and 100 sheets. Jobsite Reel offers a 14-day free trial rather than a free tier.
Which jobsite photo app calculates asphalt tons and concrete yards?
