CompanyCam review:
What we found testing it hands-on

The trial opened on the Scale plan with a 14-day banner and one active user. The home screen points you straight at the mobile app: the empty Photos library shows a QR code to download it and an option to invite your crew. That tells you where CompanyCam expects the real work to happen.

Company Settings hold your address, industry, company size, timezone, and logo. One thing to check early: our account's timezone defaulted to International Date Line West even though the country was set to the Philippines. If your timestamps look off, that setting is the first place to look.

We created a sample customer and a renovation project linked to it. The customer form covers extra contacts, billing address, notes, and a lead source (website, referral, search, social, yard signs, and a few more). The project form adds address, templates, groups, labels, assigned users, and a map for dropping a pin or drawing a geofence.

Each project keeps Photos, Documents, and Checklists in tabs, with customer details, collaborators, tasks, and a project conversation in the sidebar. The Projects list shows photo, file, checklist, and document counts on every row, which makes it easy to spot a job nobody has documented yet.

Project boards turn your labels into columns. We built a two-column board from the Active and Complete labels in a couple of minutes. We did not move a populated project across the board, and we saved our project without an address, so we can't speak to how the location features behave.

Tasks live in the project sidebar. We added one, marked it complete, and Show Completed displayed who finished it and when. Assignment and attachments are there too, though we didn't test notifications.

Checklists are the stronger feature. We built an inspection checklist with a field, notes, and a yes/no question, then switched on Photos Required. When we tried to complete it without a photo, CompanyCam stopped us: "You must add photos to complete this task." For any trade that needs proof a step was done, that rule matters.

Question types include yes/no, rating, text, and multiple choice, with sections, reference images, and assignment. You can export a checklist as PDF or CSV, save it as a template, and attach that template to a project template. The Advanced Checklist option was marked Coming Soon in our account.

The document editor handles headings, lists, checkboxes, tables, images, and saved text snippets. We wrote a short inspection report, and the editor built a table of contents from the heading on its own.

Export to PDF saved the file straight into the project's Documents tab, next to the editable version, and the preview showed our text exactly as written. From there, Request Signatures opened a Dropbox Sign flow to add signers, place fields, and send. We stopped before sending, so we can't confirm delivery or the signed record.

Report templates include Report, Daily Log, and Summary. CompanyCam says Daily Log and Summary build the document from your photos with AI. We had no photos in the project, so we couldn't test that.

CompanyCam labels Time Tracking as a free early-access beta and says it will give notice before charging for it. We saved one 90-minute entry against our test project from the web. It showed up with the right duration and project and was marked "Created on the web."

One oddity: the submit button still read Clock In after we'd filled in both a start and an end time. It saved the entry correctly anyway. Filters for date, user, and project are there, plus reminders for clock-in and clock-out. The Export button was enabled, but we couldn't confirm what the file contains.

What we didn't see: overtime rules, break rules, timesheet approvals, or cost codes. We didn't test mobile clock-in or GPS. Treat this as a way to log hours against a project, not as a replacement for a payroll-ready time tracking system.

Project templates bundle labels, checklists, saved files, and documents so each new job starts the same way. We attached our inspection checklist to a template. We didn't create a second project from it, so we haven't confirmed everything copies across.

CompanyCam keeps two ways to organize. Tags sort photos (Before and After, Start, Finished, Receipt, and more). Labels sort projects (Lead, Proposal Sent, Scheduled, Active, Complete). It's a sensible split once you know it's there, and labels double as the columns on project boards.

CompanyCam has four roles. Admin controls the whole account. Manager sees every project and manages users. Standard sees every project without user management. Restricted sees only projects they created or were assigned to. Restricted is the one to look at if you bring in subs or short-term crew.

The account export sends project or checklist data as a CSV to your inbox for a date range you pick. We read the role descriptions but didn't test them with a second login, so we can't confirm how strictly each role is enforced.

The App Marketplace groups connections into CRM and field service, estimating, time tracking and scheduling, and other tools. Names we saw include Jobber, JobNimbus, JobTread, QuickBooks Online, Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, busybusy, and Zapier, with Procore and a Claude/MCP connection marked beta. The Google Drive listing describes a CompanyCam folder with one subfolder per project that syncs automatically. We didn't connect any integration.

The Marketing Suite covers a hosted portfolio, social posts, review requests, and Google Business locations. In our account it billed as a separate $99/month trial add-on, even though the onboarding screen called it "Included in your plan." Confirm with CompanyCam which is true for your plan before you count on it.
