Software Comparison
MotionOps vs. CompanyCam
CompanyCam is the gold standard for job site photo documentation.
MotionOps includes the same GPS-tagged, annotated photo workflows - plus everything CompanyCam can't do: scheduling, invoicing, change orders, payroll prep, and HR management.
One tool instead of two bills.

The Core Difference
One is a photo app. One runs your entire operation.
CompanyCam does one thing exceptionally well: capturing,
organising, and sharing job site photos.
MotionOps does that - and also runs your scheduling,
invoicing, change orders, payroll, and HR.
Most contractors using CompanyCam are already paying
for a second tool to do the rest.
MotionOps makes that second tool unnecessary.

Where MotionOps Goes Further
Everything CompanyCam does - and the platform it can't be
CompanyCam is excellent at visual documentation.
But running a contracting business requires more than photos -
and every feature CompanyCam lacks is something MotionOps has already built.

and every feature CompanyCam lacks is something MotionOps has already built.
HR management - not just photo access
CompanyCam manages users for photo access. MotionOps manages employees - storing documents, tracking skills, handling days-off approvals, and running performance leaderboards. Your team is more than just who has login credentials.
Change orders & full paperwork
CompanyCam has no estimating, no change orders, and no contracts. MotionOps captures every scope change with a customer-signed change order, manages version-tracked contracts, and includes liability waivers - so your photo evidence of the job sits alongside the legal paperwork for it.
Stop paying for two tools
Most contractors using CompanyCam also pay for a separate FSM for scheduling and invoicing. MotionOps includes both - GPS-tagged annotated photo workflows alongside scheduling, invoicing, change orders, and payroll. One subscription, one login, one place for everything.
Scheduling, dispatch & crew management
CompanyCam has no scheduling capability at all. MotionOps gives you color-coded multi-crew dispatch, skills-based assignment, GPS clock-in/out, and days-off integration - so your photos live inside the same workflow that manages your entire day.
Timesheet QA & payroll prep workflow
CompanyCam has no time tracking whatsoever. MotionOps geo-stamps every clock in and out, runs manager timesheet approval, tracks overtime, and exports payroll-ready CSVs - while your before/after photos document exactly what work was done during those hours.
Photos connected to the full job lifecycle
In CompanyCam, photos are organised by project - but they live separately from your proposals, invoices, and change orders. In MotionOps, every photo is part of the job record that includes the estimate, the signed contract, the change orders, and the final invoice.
Pricing
One bill - not two
CompanyCam Pro costs $79/mo minimum for 3 users - and that only covers photos.
Add a mid-tier FSM for scheduling and invoicing (at least $100 more)
and you're already past what MotionOps Go costs, with fewer features and two separate systems to manage.

Second Bill
Most CompanyCam users still need a separate FSM for scheduling, invoicing, and CRM - doubling their software cost and adding a second login.
“Before MotionOps, we needed to be present on every job site, every day. Huge change for us was being able to monitor our projects remotely. This gave us time to focus on growth.”
