In 2025, contractors have more options than ever for documenting job sites — but not all apps are created equal. If you’re comparing CompanyCam alternatives, Manifold stands out. It’s faster to set up, smarter at organizing photos, and far more affordable, making it the perfect choice for agile field teams. In this blog post, we will explore the top differentiators of the Manifold App, including its ability to take 3D scans and automatically create floorplans. Join us as we dive into the remarkable features that make the Manifold App the best choice for contractors looking for job-site documentation and as-built software.
1) Effortless job-site documentation
Both the Manifold app and CompanyCam excel in making job-site documentation a breeze. Simply upload your pictures to the Manifold app and we'll automatically organize them by date, GPS location and team member so that you keep track of all your job-sites effortlessly.
2) Most comprehensive capture of site conditions
One way that CompanyCam and the Manifold app differ is that the Manifold app allows users to effortlessly capture the most comprehensive amount of data from a site. Simply use your LiDAR-enabled smartphone to take a 3D scan or auto-generate a floorplan. We'll automatically process the data in the cloud so that you can access your job-site remotely, take measurements from anywhere, and protect your crew with ground truth data. The Manifold app makes reality capture fast and easy so that you can create as-builts in two minutes or less.
3) Scan the real world, automatically generate a floorplan
One of Manifold's most unique features is the ability to scan the real world and automatically generate a floorplan from the data. Stop hiring expensive experts to make architectural drawings for you. You can do it yourself, from your phone, instantly!
Manifold keeps getting better — here’s what’s new for contractors this year:
Manifold now automatically tags and organizes photos by project, location, and type, so you spend less time sorting and more time getting work done. No more scrolling endlessly to find that one shot.
Capture job sites with even greater accuracy using your iPhone or iPad. Manifold now supports advanced LiDAR scanning, helping you create precise as-builts and measurements in minutes.
Sharing updates with clients or your team is faster than ever. Create customizable reports in seconds and send them directly — no extra software required.
Manifold continues to be more affordable than CompanyCam, with transparent pricing that scales with your team size. You get premium features without paying extra per user.
Getting started with Manifold is now simpler and faster, so your team can be up and running in minutes rather than hours. Intuitive design means less training and fewer mistakes on the jobsite.
