CompanyCam vs Manifold for Jobber Users: Which Is Right for Your Crew?

CompanyCam is one of the most commonly used field documentation tools among Jobber users. The two apps overlap in some areas — both handle job site photos — but they're built for different things and priced very differently. Here's an honest comparison for contractors who use Jobber and are deciding between CompanyCam and Manifold for field documentation.

What they have in common

Both CompanyCam and Manifold integrate with Jobber. Both provide GPS-tagged photo documentation organised by job. Both generate reports and allow client sharing. Both work on iOS and Android.

Where they differ

Pricing

CompanyCam requires a minimum of 3 users on every plan. The entry Pro plan costs $79/month regardless of how many users you actually have — so a solo contractor or a 2-person crew pays $79/month for seats they don't use.

Manifold charges per actual user with no seat minimums. One user pays $16/month. Three users pay $48/month. The math is linear with your actual team size.

3D scanning

CompanyCam's 3D measurement feature is only available on the Elite plan ($249+/month) and requires specific iPhone Pro hardware with LiDAR. Standard CompanyCam plans have no 3D capability.

Manifold's Orbit Measure 3D scanning works on any iOS or Android phone from $24/user/month. No LiDAR required, no hardware purchase, no Elite plan required.

Checklists

Both apps have checklists. Manifold's require a photo for every item before it can be marked complete — creating a mandatory audit trail. CompanyCam's checklists allow completion without photo evidence.

Jobber integration depth

Both integrate with Jobber. Jobber jobs sync to both apps so photos are organised by job automatically.

Side-by-side for a 3-person Jobber crew

CompanyCam Pro: $79/month — no 3D scanning
Manifold Photo+Scan: $72/month (3 × $24) — includes Orbit Measure 3D scanning on any phone

At the same team size, Manifold is cheaper and includes 3D capabilities CompanyCam doesn't offer on standard plans.

When CompanyCam makes more sense

CompanyCam has a larger user base, more integrations beyond Jobber, and a more established brand presence. If you're on a team of 5+ users where the per-seat minimum matters less, and you specifically need CompanyCam's broader integration ecosystem, it's a reasonable choice.

When Manifold makes more sense

If you're a solo contractor or small crew, if you need 3D scanning without expensive hardware, if you run Android phones, or if you want checklists that enforce photo documentation rather than just allowing it.
