CompanyCam Seat Minimum: What It Costs Jobber Users and What to Do About It

CompanyCam requires 3 users on every plan. If you're a solo contractor or a 2-person crew using Jobber, you're paying $79/month for a tool that requires 3 users before it stops feeling overpriced. Here's exactly what changes when you drop the seat minimum requirement.

Why the seat minimum matters so much

A 1-person contracting business on CompanyCam Pro pays $79/month. That's $948/year for one person using a photo app. For the same documentation capabilities, Manifold charges $16/month. The difference — $63/month, $756/year — is the cost of two ghost users CompanyCam requires but doesn't need.

This isn't a niche edge case. According to Jobber's own data, 78% of Jobber users have between 2 and 50 employees — meaning a large portion are small enough that the 3-user CompanyCam minimum is a real cost, not just a rounding error.

What no seat minimum actually means for your stack

With Manifold connected to Jobber via the Jobber App Marketplace:

• Solo contractor: $16/month for GPS photos, checklists, and PDF reports — linked to your Jobber jobs
• 2-person crew: $32/month total — not $79
• 3-person crew: $48/month — still less than CompanyCam's minimum at scale

And if you need Orbit Measure 3D scanning (which CompanyCam doesn't offer on standard plans at any seat count): $24/user/month. Solo contractor pays $24. Not $249.

The upgrade you get by switching

Most contractors switching from CompanyCam to Manifold on Jobber don't just save money — they gain capabilities they didn't have:

• Orbit Measure 3D scanning on any iOS or Android phone
• Inspection checklists that require a photo before each item can be marked complete (CompanyCam checklists don't enforce this)
• Floor Plan Scan on iPhone 12 Pro or newer — auto-generated floor plans

How to switch

See our complete switching guide for Jobber users. The short version: start a Manifold trial, connect to Jobber in the marketplace, document a job, confirm it works, then cancel CompanyCam. Historical photos stay in CompanyCam; new documentation builds in Manifold from that point.
