SiteCam is a UK-focused photo documentation app for construction crews. Pricing starts around £22/user/month (roughly $28 USD). Photo capture, project organization, basic reporting. Positioned explicitly as a UK alternative to CompanyCam for sites that need photo documentation without the US-focused FSM bundling.
Manifold is a focused field documentation app. Multi-trade, North America-headquartered with global reach. $16/user/month for Photo or $24/user/month for Photo+Scan. No seat minimums. Adds 3D scanning, photo-required punch lists, and required-photo inspection checklists.
SiteCam is a UK photo-first documentation app for general construction crews who want a UK-friendly alternative to CompanyCam without bundled FSM features. Strongest fit for UK GCs and small commercial crews who just need clean photo capture and project organization. Manifold is a focused field documentation app with 3D scanning. Strongest fit for contractors (UK or anywhere) who want photo documentation depth plus 3D capability plus structured closeout workflows at competitive per-user pricing.

UK localization. SiteCam is built and marketed for UK construction crews, with terminology and workflows familiar to UK users (snag lists, RFIs, BCAR/BCO context).
Photo-first focus. Like Manifold, SiteCam doesn't try to be a full FSM platform. The focus is photo documentation without bundled scheduling or invoicing.
Familiar UK billing. Pricing in pounds, UK billing, UK customer support.
Lower per-user cost. Manifold's $16/user Photo plan is roughly 40% cheaper than SiteCam's £22/user, even before adding 3D scanning capability.
3D scanning included at $24/user. Manifold's Photo+Scan plan adds Orbit Measure for $24/user/month on any iOS or Android phone. SiteCam doesn't offer 3D scanning at any price.
Photo-required punch lists. Manifold locks every punch list item's complete button behind a required after-photo. SiteCam has basic snag list functionality without strict photo enforcement.
Required-photo inspection checklists at base tier. Manifold includes photo-required checklists on the $16 Photo plan. SiteCam's checklist functionality lacks the photo enforcement.
GPS auto-routing. Manifold uses GPS to auto-assign photos to projects. SiteCam requires manual project assignment.
Branded PDF reports organized by room and phase. Manifold's PDF reports are structured for restoration adjusters and owner handovers. SiteCam reports are basic.
iPhone LiDAR floor plans. Manifold's Floor Plan Scan auto-generates 2D floor plans on iPhone Pro. SiteCam doesn't offer floor plan generation.
SiteCam is positioned as a UK-friendly photo-documentation-only alternative to CompanyCam, without the US-focused FSM bundling. For UK crews who want a photo-first tool with UK customer support and billing, SiteCam can be appealing. For UK crews who want the same focused approach at lower cost plus 3D scanning, Manifold is typically more economical.
No. SiteCam is a photo documentation tool without 3D scanning capability. Manifold Photo+Scan at $24/user/month is the focused option for 3D scanning on any phone.
Manifold Photo ($16/user) is roughly 40% cheaper than SiteCam (~£22/user / $28 USD). Manifold Photo+Scan ($24/user) is roughly 15% cheaper than SiteCam and adds 3D scanning that SiteCam doesn't offer.
Yes. Manifold is used by contractors globally including UK crews. Billing is in USD, which is the main UK localization trade-off for UK contractors comparing the two tools.
Both are UK photo documentation tools. SiteCam is general construction photo capture. Onetrace is specialized for compliance-heavy workflows (passive fire protection, building regulations). UK contractors doing fire protection compliance typically choose Onetrace; UK contractors doing general photo documentation typically choose SiteCam or Manifold.
