CompanyCam is a genuinely strong product for one job: photo documentation at scale. It holds a 4.8★ rating on the App Store, and if your crew is 3+ people who need timestamped, geotagged photos organized by project — for insurance claims, warranty disputes or client reports — CompanyCam earns its price.
But if what's actually eating your week is writing quotes, chasing invoices and explaining the job to your crew — a photo app doesn't solve that. Some contractors run both: CompanyCam for the photo trail, Obra for the money and the paperwork.
