Does CompanyCam Do 3D Scanning? (Honest Answer for 2026)

Does CompanyCam do 3D scanning?

CompanyCam has some 3D features, but they're limited in ways that matter for most contractors. Here's the honest breakdown.

What 3D features does CompanyCam actually have?

CompanyCam offers 3D room capture on its higher-tier plans. The feature uses Apple's ARKit technology to create a basic 3D model of a room. It's available on iPhone and requires a relatively recent iOS device.

However, there are significant limitations:

• iOS only — CompanyCam's 3D features do not work on Android. Any crew member using an Android phone cannot access 3D capture.
• Higher plans only — 3D features are not available on CompanyCam's entry-level plans. You need to be on a higher tier to access them.
• No video-based processing — CompanyCam's 3D capture requires active scanning in real time. There's no ability to record a walkthrough video and process it into a 3D model later.
• No remote measurement — You cannot take measurements from the 3D model after the fact. The 3D view is primarily for visual documentation, not dimensional data.

Can you take measurements in CompanyCam?

Not from a 3D model in the traditional sense. CompanyCam has a photo markup tool that lets you annotate images with measurements, but this requires you to manually input dimensions — it doesn't calculate them from the scan. For actual dimensional measurements from a captured space, CompanyCam is not the right tool.

What's the difference between CompanyCam 3D and Manifold Orbit Measure?

They're solving different problems:

• CompanyCam 3D — A visual 3D walkthrough for documentation purposes. iOS only. No measurements extracted from the model. Available on higher plans only.
• Manifold Orbit Measure — A video-based 3D scanning system that produces a fully measurable 3D model. Works on any iOS or Android phone. No LiDAR required. You can pull any dimension from the model remotely, without returning to site.

Orbit Measure is not a visual tour tool — it's a measurement tool. The primary use case is getting accurate dimensions from a space without driving back to site. CompanyCam's 3D doesn't do this.

Which plans include 3D features in CompanyCam?

CompanyCam's 3D capabilities are available on their higher-tier plans. Their entry Basic plan and standard Pro plan have limited or no 3D functionality depending on the current offering. Always check CompanyCam's current pricing page directly, as plan features change frequently.

Does Manifold work as a CompanyCam replacement for 3D?

Yes — and for most contractors, it's a more useful 3D tool because the output is measurable, not just viewable.

Manifold's Photo+Scan plan at $24/user/month includes:

• Orbit Measure — video-based 3D scanning on any iOS or Android phone. Walk for 60 seconds, upload, get a measurable 3D model with dimensions you can pull remotely.
• Floor Plan Scan — automatic dimensioned floor plans on iPhone 12 Pro or newer using Apple's RoomPlan LiDAR technology.
• GPS photo documentation — the core job site photo workflow that CompanyCam is known for.
• Checklists, punch lists, and PDF reports — included on all plans.

The bottom line on CompanyCam 3D scanning

CompanyCam's 3D is a documentation visual — useful for showing clients what a space looked like, but not for pulling measurements. It's iOS-only and plan-restricted. If you need 3D scanning that lets you measure a room from your desk without going back to site, CompanyCam is the wrong tool regardless of which plan you're on.
