CompanyCam captures photos.
SymTerra manages your entire site.
CompanyCam is great for photo documentation. But construction teams need more than a camera app — they need forms, dashboards, timesheets, drawings, and structured comms. SymTerra does it all, with unlimited users and no per-seat fees.
Don't take our word for it. Hit play.

Sound familiar?
These are the reasons construction teams start looking beyond CompanyCam.
It's a photo app, not a platform
CompanyCam is built around photo documentation. But your team also needs custom forms, safety reports, site diaries, timesheets, and dashboards — so you end up buying more tools to fill the gaps.
Per-seat pricing adds up fast
At $27–34 per user per month, costs climb quickly as your team grows. A 20-person crew is $540–680/mo just for the base plan — before you upgrade for advanced features.
Key features locked behind upgrades
Checklists, advanced AI, company dashboards, and longer video capture all require Premium or Elite plans. Users report needing to pay $50+/mo extra just for checklists.
No custom form builder
CompanyCam doesn't offer custom digital forms for inspections, permits, or safety compliance. If you need structured data capture beyond photos, you need a separate tool.
Trade-focused integrations
CompanyCam integrates well with roofing and HVAC tools like AccuLynx, Jobber, and JobNimbus — but lacks connections to construction platforms like SharePoint, ACC, Asta, or OPC.
No real-time dashboards
Company dashboards are only available on Premium plans and above. There's no custom, real-time reporting to give management live visibility across all projects.

Questions you probably have
Is switching from CompanyCam difficult?
No. Most teams are fully set up and running within a day. We handle the heavy lifting — building your forms, configuring dashboards, and getting your team onboarded. You can even run both tools side by side during your trial.
We mainly need photo documentation. Does SymTerra do that?
Yes. SymTerra captures photos and attaches them directly to forms, locations, and reports — so your images are always linked to structured data, not just sitting in a gallery. You get the documentation plus the context around it.
What does "unlimited users" actually mean?
Exactly what it sounds like. You pay one flat monthly price and can add as many users as you need — clients, contractors, operatives, supply chain partners — with no extra charge. No per-seat fees, no surprise costs. Unlike CompanyCam's $27–34 per user per month.
Will my site team actually use it?
SymTerra was designed for workers on site, not project managers at a desk. The mobile app is fast, simple, and doesn't need a training manual. That's why our adoption rate is so high — if your team can use WhatsApp, they can use SymTerra.
How does SymTerra's pricing compare to CompanyCam?
CompanyCam charges $27–34 per user per month, and key features like checklists, dashboards, and full AI require paid upgrades. SymTerra starts at $305/mo with unlimited users and all core features included. For teams of 10+, SymTerra is almost always more cost-effective.
What if I want to cancel?
No lock-in. You can cancel at any point with a full 30-day money-back guarantee. If you stay on and later decide to leave, it's just 30 days' notice. No long contracts, no penalty fees.
