1. What it is
CompanyCam's help center (article dated September 1, 2026 on the page, read November 5, 2026) lists four AI documents: Summary, Daily Log, Progress Recap and Walkthrough. For the first three you select photos that have descriptions and press Generate. For a Walkthrough you talk while you take photos in the mobile app, for up to 15 minutes, and the app writes it up. If the photos have no descriptions, the app still makes a document, but empty. Summary, Daily Log and Progress Recap do not work offline; Walkthrough does, and is processed once you are back online. The help center says these features are "available on select plans".
The glossary (read November 5, 2026) says each of the four uses 1 "AI Action", and that AI credits are the plan's allowance that "set how many AI Actions you can run". A voice checklist also costs 1 action each time you create or complete one.
2. What it costs
CompanyCam's pricing page (read November 5, 2026; the only date on it is "©2026") lists, billed annually: Core $63 a month, Crew $129, Scale $199, with extra users $29 each. Core includes one user (two at most); Crew and Scale include three. The figures in the page's own price calculator show $79 for Core when billed monthly. Credits in the plan table: Core 10, Crew 100, Scale unlimited. The page does not say whether credits renew monthly or are used once.
The same page contradicts itself: its FAQ says "AI features are included in Crew, Scale, and Enterprise", while the table gives Core 10 credits. Ask CompanyCam before you rely on either. By arithmetic, Crew costs $129 − $63 = $66 more a month than Core, $792 a year, plus whatever extra users you add.
3. Does it help?
We found no independent test of how good these write-ups are, so we cannot say. CompanyCam's own best-practices page (August 28, 2026 on the page) says "AI is not perfect and can make mistakes" and tells you to review and edit every output. It also says results depend on how much detail you put in the photo descriptions or say aloud. Treat any promised time saving as the vendor's claim.
An illustration, not a finding: if you run 4 jobs and write one Daily Log per job per workday, that is 4 actions a day. Ten credits last 2.5 workdays, and 100 last 25 workdays, about five weeks.
4. Verdict
Worth trying cheaply. The photos are worth taking whatever you pay for AI, and a Daily Log you only have to correct is faster than one you write. Use the free trial the pricing page offers, check which AI tiles your plan really shows, and count how many write-ups you would use in a month and how many needed fixing. Do not pay $792 a year more for the AI alone until that count says it is worth it. A write-up that goes to a customer is a statement about your work: read it first.
This week
- 01Pick one active job and write the photo descriptions the way the help center asks: room, side of the house, what was done and what is next.
- 02Generate one Daily Log and mark every sentence you would change. That is your accuracy number.
- 03Ask CompanyCam in writing which plan includes AI and whether credits renew monthly.
- 04Compare one week of your real use against the 10 and 100 credit limits before you upgrade.
