A free CompanyCam alternative for small crews
CompanyCam is the best-known job photo app, and for many contractors it earns its price. If you mostly need before and after photos, one clean client link and a simple way to run a crew, you may not need to pay for all of it.
How the two compare
CompanyCam charges by plan and by extra user. The figures below are its own annual prices.
| Feature | JobProof | CompanyCam |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free, no card | Core from $63 a month, billed annually |
| Three people | Free | Crew from $129 a month, billed annually |
| Extra users | Free | $29 each |
| Before and after photos | Yes: ghost overlay, automatic pairs, slider | Yes, listed as Before & Afters |
| Client sharing | Yes: one link with your logo, a slider, call and review buttons | Live job updates and client access, by plan |
| Works offline | Yes: photos save on the phone and upload later | Yes, offline mode with sync |
| Assign jobs to crew | Yes: assign jobs, owner, manager and crew roles, live dashboard | Not listed as job assignment on the pricing page |
| Languages for crew | English, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Bengali, Malayalam | Not listed |
CompanyCam details come from its own website, checked 2 November 2026. Prices change, so confirm them there. "Not listed" means we could not find it on that page, not that it is missing from the product.
Why people look for an alternative
The usual reason is cost against use. A one-truck pressure washing or cleaning business takes photos, sends them to the client and moves on. Paying a monthly plan for a wider feature set can feel like too much for that job.
The other reason is the crew. Some teams want a tool where a labourer sees exactly one thing to do next, rather than a full project feed.
What JobProof does differently
- A crew member sees only their jobs, in big numbered steps, in their own language.
- A job can't be marked complete until an After photo is in.
- The client gets one link with your logo and a before and after slider, with no login.
When CompanyCam is the better choice
Choose CompanyCam if you need its marketing suite, a large established integration list, or a mature product with a long track record. JobProof is new, and it does not try to match that range.
Questions
Is JobProof really free?
Yes. You can start with no card, and there is no paid plan today. If paid plans arrive later for larger teams, you will be told before anything changes.
Can I move my CompanyCam photos across?
There is no automatic import. You can add photos from your phone's camera roll into a job, so most teams start with new jobs and keep old ones where they are.
