CompanyCam is a $2 billion photo documentation tool. It’s excellent at photos — but it can’t quote, schedule, invoice, or manage employees. You still need Jobber on top. QuoteIQ does it all.
CompanyCam is genuinely excellent at what it does. Built by Luke Hansen from his family’s roofing business in Nebraska, it’s become a $2 billion unicorn with 1 billion+ photos stored, a 4.8/5 iOS rating from 13,000+ reviews, and 60+ integrations with every major CRM. The photo annotation, GPS-stamped documentation, offline caching, and AI-powered reporting tools are best-in-class.
The fundamental problem: CompanyCam can’t send a quote, schedule a job, create an invoice, process a payment, manage an employee, or make a phone call. It requires a separate CRM — typically Jobber ($49–$229/mo), Housecall Pro ($59–$199/mo), or ServiceTitan ($1,800+/mo) — to actually run your business. A 7-person team using CompanyCam Elite + Jobber Grow pays roughly $810/mo for what QuoteIQ Elite does for $249.99/mo. QuoteIQ includes photo documentation (QuoteIQ Cam) alongside 20+ features CompanyCam doesn’t offer at any price.
To run a 7-person business with CompanyCam’s photo tools and Jobber’s operations, here’s the combined cost.
Solo contractor? Two-person crew? It doesn’t matter — CompanyCam’s cheapest plan requires paying for 3 users ($99/mo). You can’t buy a single seat. QuoteIQ Essentials starts at 1 user for $29.99/mo with quoting, invoicing, scheduling, payments, and AI features included. A solo operator using CompanyCam + Jobber Core pays at least $148/mo for photo documentation plus basic CRM. QuoteIQ Essentials gives you both for $29.99 — that’s 80% less.
Each card shows the combined cost of CompanyCam plus a CRM needed to actually run your business.
Every additional user costs $34/mo on CompanyCam AND $29/mo on Jobber — that’s $63/user/month stacked across two platforms. A 15-person team pays $756/mo in per-user fees alone before either base subscription. QuoteIQ Max gives you unlimited users for $399.99/mo total — no per-user fees, no cap.
CompanyCam’s “✗ Requires CRM” markers show features that need a separate subscription. QuoteIQ includes everything natively.

CompanyCam documents your work. QuoteIQ runs your entire business.
CompanyCam has spent a decade refining photo documentation. That specialization shows.
10 years of refinement. Unlimited permanent cloud storage, robust offline caching (60 projects), extensive annotation tools, voice notes, photo tagging, and a mature project organization system. CompanyCam’s photo features are deeper than QuoteIQ Cam’s.
Voice-to-text captions, AI-generated summaries, daily logs, walkthrough reports, and full-page translations (Premium+). CompanyCam’s AI creates documentation from photos — a different approach than QuoteIQ’s business-operations AI.
Elite plan ($249/mo, iOS Pro models only). Physical on-site measurement using iPhone LiDAR sensor — precise field measurements any team member can access later. QuoteIQ’s MapMeasure uses satellite imagery (remote but less precise).
Works with AccuLynx, JobNimbus, JobTread, Roofr, Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and more. If you’re already committed to a CRM, CompanyCam layers on top seamlessly.
Premium+ allows subcontractors and clients to view and interact with specific projects without full user licenses. Useful for construction and roofing where multiple parties need project visibility.
$2B valuation, 4.8/5 iOS rating from 13,000+ reviews, 1B+ photos stored. Nebraska’s first startup unicorn. Established trust in roofing, restoration, and construction verticals.
Stop paying for CompanyCam and Jobber. QuoteIQ includes photo documentation, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, payments, AI tools, and 20+ features CompanyCam doesn’t have — all in one app.
