CompanyCam's Problem: Paying a Lot for Just One Thing
CompanyCam does one thing: photo documentation. And they charge $19-$34 per user per month for it.
For a 5-person team on their Pro plan, that's $145/month — or $1,740/year — just to take and organize job photos.
But here's what CompanyCam doesn't include:
What You Still Need to Pay For Separately
- Job Scheduling: Need another app ($50-$200/mo)
- Dispatching: Need another app
- Estimates & Proposals: Need another app
- Invoicing: Need another app ($30-$100/mo)
- Payment Processing: Need another service
- Inventory Management: Need another app
- Customer CRM: Need another app
So you're paying $1,740/year for photos, then another $2,000-$4,000/year for the other software you need to actually run your business.
That's $4,000-$6,000/year in software costs. For a small contractor, that's painful.
FieldFuze: Everything Including Photos for $0/Month
$0Photo documentation, job scheduling, dispatching, estimates, invoicing, payment processing, inventory management, time tracking — all included. Unlimited users. You only pay 2.9% on payments you process. Same rate as Stripe.
The Per-User Pricing Problem
CompanyCam charges per user on every plan:
CompanyCam Pricing Breakdown
- Basic: $19/user/month
- Pro: $29/user/month
- Elite: $34/user/month
Start with 3 users on Pro? That's $87/month. Grow to 5 users? Now it's $145/month. Add another 3 crew members? $232/month — for photos alone.
Every new hire increases your software bill. Every time you're busy and bring on help, you pay more. It punishes growth.
"Per-user pricing made sense when we were small, but now every new hire costs us $29/month just for photos — before we even think about scheduling software."
FieldFuze has no user limits. Add 1 user or 20 users — your monthly cost stays the same: $0.
What CompanyCam Users Are Really Saying
Common CompanyCam Complaints
- App interface changes: "After updates, the interface completely changed and it's harder to navigate now."
- Files not working: "Photos and files don't always sync properly. Sometimes they just don't load."
- Search problems: "The search function doesn't work reliably. Can't find photos I know are there."
- Expensive for just photos: "Great for documentation but paying $29/user just for photos adds up fast."
- Need more software: "Still need scheduling and invoicing software on top of CompanyCam. Gets expensive."
- Sync issues: "Photos taken in the field don't always appear in the office app right away."
When your photo documentation app has sync and reliability issues, you can't trust that your job documentation is complete. That's a liability problem waiting to happen.

Think about what you actually need to run your contracting business:
What a Contractor Really Needs
- Schedule jobs and dispatch techs to the right place at the right time
- Create estimates that convert leads into paying customers
- Document jobs with before/after photos for proof of work
- Invoice customers and get paid quickly
- Track inventory so you know what's on each truck
- Manage customers with notes, history, and contact info
- Track time for payroll and job costing
CompanyCam handles exactly ONE of these things. You need 3-4 different apps for the rest.
FieldFuze handles ALL of them for $0/month.

CompanyCam Alternative FAQ
Is FieldFuze Really Free?
Yes. $0/month subscription. We make money the same way Stripe and Square do — 2.9% on payments you process. Unlike CompanyCam (which charges monthly AND doesn't even process payments), we don't charge monthly fees.
Does FieldFuze Have Photo Documentation?
Yes. FieldFuze includes photo documentation as part of the platform. Take before/after photos, attach them to jobs, share with customers, and use for insurance claims — all included with no extra charge.
Can I Replace CompanyCam AND My Scheduling Software?
Yes. FieldFuze combines photo documentation with job scheduling, dispatching, estimates, invoicing, payments, inventory, and more. It's designed to replace multiple apps with one platform.
What's the Catch?
No catch. We monetize through payment processing, not monthly subscriptions. You keep more money, we grow when you grow. It's that simple.
Can I Try FieldFuze While Still Using CompanyCam?
Absolutely. Since FieldFuze costs $0/month, there's no financial risk to trying it while you still have CompanyCam. Many contractors run both during transition.
Does FieldFuze Work for Roofers?
Yes. FieldFuze is especially good for roofers with features like storm damage tracking, insurance claims management, and before/after photo documentation. Plus estimates, invoicing, and everything else you need.
The Bottom Line
CompanyCam solves one problem (photo documentation) and charges $19-$34 per user per month for it. You still need separate software for scheduling, invoicing, and payments — easily adding up to $300-$500/month total for a small team.
FieldFuze takes a different approach: $0/month, photo documentation plus full field service management included, unlimited users. We make money when you process payments — same as Stripe. We just don't charge you monthly on top of it.
