CompanyCam vs Contractor Autopilot
CompanyCam is $79/mo Core (1–2 users), $149/mo Crew (3 users), $249/mo Scale — plus $34 per extra user, monthly billing — and it is one piece of your business. Contractor Autopilot is $149–$499/mo flat for the whole company, unlimited users: one source of truth, 60+ features from the missed call to the paid invoice. No integrations to build, nothing to keep in sync.
What CompanyCam does well
CompanyCam is the standard for job site photos, and deservedly so — hundreds of thousands of contractors use it. Photos land in the right project automatically, tagged with time and location, and the crew actually uses it because it is just a camera.
Best for: Crews who need every job photographed, time-stamped and location-tagged so disputes end fast.
Where it leaves you exposed
- →It is a photo app. No pipeline, no quoting, no invoicing, no scheduling — the job it documents was won and billed somewhere else.
- →Every person who needs to see the photos is a paid seat, including office staff who only look.
- →Nothing answers the phone, builds your site, or asks for the review after those photos prove the job went well.
One app for the whole business — finally
CompanyCam is the camera. The pipeline, the quote, the invoice, the website and the phone are four or five other products you pay for and keep in sync.
The call, the lead, the quote, the job, the invoice, the review and the website all live on the same customer record. Your whole crew and your office get their own login — we never charge per seat.
Get found, capture leads, quote & close, run jobs, get paid — the whole business, not one slice of it.
No Zapier, no CSV exports, no paying a consultant to wire your tools together every time something changes.
The time it gives you back
The photo your tech takes on the roof becomes the quote line, the job record, the invoice attachment, the website gallery photo and the social post — one upload, five jobs done, nothing re-typed.

What it costs at 1, 5 and 10 people
Their price grows with your crew. Ours does not — every plan is unlimited users, so the tenth hire costs you nothing in software.
| Crew size | CompanyCam | + what it doesn't include | Their all-in | Contractor Autopilot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Just you | $149/mo | $850/mo | $999/mo | $499/mo |
| 5 people | $217/mo | $850/mo | $1,067/mo | $499/mo |
| 10 people | $387/mo | $850/mo | $1,237/mo | $499/mo |
At five people that is $1,067 a month — more than Autopilot Pro — and it still does not answer your phone, build your website, or ask your customers for reviews.
Same money buys the whole business instead of one slice of it: 60+ features across all five stages, unlimited users, one bill.

The honest verdict
CompanyCam is excellent at one thing and honest about it. The question is not whether it is good — it is whether you want to pay per seat for a camera and still buy four more products. Our photos do the same documentation job and then keep working: they price the quote, back the invoice, fill the gallery and feed the social posts.
Questions contractors ask
Can Contractor Autopilot replace CompanyCam?
For most 1–10 person crews, yes — photo documentation with geotagging, per-job galleries, photo approval and before/after sets are built in, with unlimited users at one flat price. Where we go further is what happens next: the same photo builds the quote, backs the invoice, updates your website gallery and posts to social.
What does CompanyCam cost for a 5-person crew?
On monthly billing the 3-user Crew plan is $149 plus $34 for each of the extra two users — about $217/mo, for photos only. Ours is $149–$499/mo for the whole company, everything included.
