The CompanyCam Alternative for Small and Medium Sized Companies
CrewBox is the CompanyCam alternative built for real crews: the same time-stamped, GPS-tagged photo documentation, non-destructive annotation, photo-backed tasks and branded PDF reports — with a permanently free solo plan, seats bundled into flat pricing, full offline mode, and a done-for-you migration that brings every photo, tag, comment, page, document and video across in a few hours.
What Staying With CompanyCam Costs You
Same core features for every crew below — time-stamped photo documentation, annotation, tasks and client-ready reports. Both columns are the published billed-annually rate. The gap is pure overhead, every month, forever.
A solo plan with the full feature set — camera, tags, annotation, tasks and reports — at $0 only exists on CrewBox. CompanyCam’s cheapest way in is $63 a month.
CompanyCam published annual rates, October 2026: Core $63/mo (1 user), Crew $129/mo (3 users), Scale $199/mo (3 users), additional users $29/mo — cheapest qualifying plan shown per crew size. Verify at companycam.com/pricing. CrewBox: Duo $39/mo (2 users, unlimited projects & storage), Starter $79/mo (5 users, extra seats $22), Pro $159/mo (12 users) — billed annually; see CrewBox pricing.
Why Crews Are Switching Out of CompanyCam
CompanyCam more or less invented this category, and the complaints that send crews looking elsewhere are rarely about the photos. They are about the bill — what it starts at, what it grows to, and what it pays for that the crew never touches.
Why they leave
The bill keeps climbing
Crews report paying more this year than last for the same app — plan reshuffles, per-seat increases, and features they didn’t ask for baked into the price.
With CrewBox
One flat plan price. The rate you sign up at is the rate the whole crew uses.
Why they leave
The per-seat math hurts
Crew covers three users, then it’s $29 a head, every month. A five-person crew lands at $187 a month before anyone prints a report.
With CrewBox
Duo, Starter and Pro bundle 2–12 seats into the plan price — about $16 a user on Starter.
Why they leave
A trial is not a free plan
There is no permanent free tier. When the trial ends you are on a paid plan or you are out — a hard sell to a crew that documents a handful of jobs a year.
With CrewBox
Solo is free forever — 1 user, 50 projects, 10 GB. No card, no clock, nothing to cancel.
Why they leave
Paying for features they never use
The price carries 60+ integrations, LiDAR measurement and payment collection. Most small crews need photo proof, tasks and a clean PDF — and still pay for the rest.
With CrewBox
Exactly the documentation core — photos, tasks, reports, offline — at a price built for that and nothing else.
Switching? Bring everything with you
It’s your data — years of jobsite history you paid to build, and you don’t have to abandon it to leave. We migrate crews from CompanyCam to CrewBox in a few hours: your photos, your tags, your comments, your pages, your documents and your videos land in CrewBox exactly how you had them, filed under the same projects, with the original timestamps and GPS data intact.
Contact support
Contact support and they will walk you through the steps to migrate your data. It’s your history — your projects, photos, videos, tags, comments, pages and documents — no hand exports, no zip files, no spreadsheet of filenames.
We rebuild it in CrewBox
Every project is recreated with its photos and videos in order — original timestamps and GPS intact, tags applied, comments threaded on the right photo, pages and documents filed where they were.
Crew signs in, keeps shooting
Install CrewBox, sign in, and the whole history is already there. Most teams are switched the same day — tomorrow’s photos just land in CrewBox instead.
Your data comes across — exactly how you had it
- Photos — with original timestamps and GPS data
- Videos — in the same projects, same order
- Tags — your whole tag vocabulary, still applied
- Comments — threaded on the photo they belong to
- Pages — recreated with their content in place
- Documents — plans, permits and contracts, filed per project

CompanyCam published rates, verified October 2026: Core $63/mo (1 user), Crew $129/mo (3 users), Scale $199/mo (3 users), Enterprise custom for 50+ — all billed annually, additional users $29/mo annually or $34/mo monthly.

We Care About the Small Crews
Watch where a product is headed, not where it started. CompanyCam’s roadmap reads enterprise — bigger accounts, bigger integrations, AI in every announcement. Ours reads like the crews we build for: one to twenty trucks, documenting real jobs, every day.
Their direction
Built for the big accounts
SSO, multi-location governance, procurement workflows and dedicated success managers — the headline features live in the Enterprise tier for 50+ users.
Ours
We are built for the one-to-twenty-truck end of the market — the crews actually holding the phone on site.
Their direction
AI pushed into every seat
Every release note leans harder into AI — summaries, suggestions, assistants — and the cost of building it is priced into every seat, whether your crew asked for it or not.
Ours
We ship what crews ask for: faster capture, better reports, offline that works. AI stays on its own optional plan — never baked into your seat price.
Their direction
Success managers start at 50 seats
Below Enterprise you are self-serve: the same queue, the same docs, no matter how long you have paid the bill.
Ours
A two-person crew gets the same migration team and the same humans on support as our biggest account. Small is the business, not the leftovers.
Sign up free, put one live job in it, and see what comes out the other end. If the report beats what you send today, move the crew over.
- 30 days free
- No credit card to get started
- Up and running in 5 minutes or less
- No sales calls (we promise)
- Free for solo crews
- iPhone, Android & web
Where CompanyCam Is Still the Better Choice
A comparison page that says the competitor is bad at everything is an advertisement, not a comparison. Here is where we would genuinely point you at CompanyCam instead.
You live inside another platform
If your work already flows through AccuLynx, JobNimbus, JobTread or QuickBooks, CompanyCam's 60+ integrations will save you more time than anything we can offer today.
On our roadmap
Jobber, QuickBooks and more are coming to CrewBox soon. Integrations take time to do right — CompanyCam didn’t build sixty of them overnight either.
You need measurement or e-signing
LiDAR room measurement, document signing and in-app payment collection are real CompanyCam features. CrewBox is a documentation tool and does not try to be an estimating or payments platform.
Actually want this?
Tell us and we’ll build it — most crews we talk to didn’t know these features existed.
You are 50+ users with SSO and procurement
Multi-location governance, SSO, a dedicated success manager and white-glove rollout are what their Enterprise tier is for. We are built for the one-to-twenty-truck end of the market.
We’ll get there
But small crews come first — they are the core of this trade, and they’re the ones being left behind and priced out.
CompanyCam has the advantage on these features right now — give us six months and we'll have all of them and more.
