COMPARE · CHECKED OCTOBER 19, 2026
CompanyCam vs Peak
CompanyCam is a focused job photo app with a strong camera, offline mode and AI reports on Crew and up. Peak saves job photos too, on the same job as the estimate, schedule and invoice, and the tools are free.
TL;DR
Pick CompanyCam if Photos are the main thing you need, and you already have other software for the rest. Pick Peak if you want photos tied to the same job as the estimate, schedule and invoice, without paying for another app.

WHERE COMPANYCAM IS STRONG
Credit where it's due.
- Fast photo capture filed to a project, with time and location saved on every shot
- Uploading old phone photos taken at a job's address
- Checklists where a task can require a photo
- Shareable photo reports and galleries for customers
- A clear upload queue that shows how many photos are still waiting
WHERE COMPANYCAM IS AHEAD
What Peak doesn't do yet.
If one of these is a must-have, take it seriously.
- A native camera app with offline mode
- Photo markup, voice captions and AI-written photo recaps
- A product focused on job photos
Everything not in the Peak tools yet
- iPhone and Android apps in the app stores (the tools install from your phone's browser today)
- QuickBooks and Xero sync
- Full job costing, estimate vs actual on every line
- Payroll
- A built-in AI phone receptionist
- AI takeoff from plans
WHERE PEAK IS DIFFERENT
What you get with Peak that CompanyCam doesn't do.
- Photos are one part of Peak, next to leads, estimates, invoices and schedules, all free. CompanyCam starts at $63 a month billed yearly ($79 month to month).
- Peak jobs have phases and statuses you schedule against.
- Ask Sherpa from the site to look up a customer or add a note. It runs on your own AI key.
The software is free
No per-user fee and no contract for the tools. You bring your own accounts for AI, texting, email and payments, and pay those companies directly at their prices. We don't mark them up.
Your data, your accounts
When sign-up opens, your customer data lives in a database you own, not ours. Export it any time. If you leave, you take everything with you.
Sherpa does the work, inside rules
Tell Sherpa "add a note to Susan Park: gate goes on the north side." It finds her and adds it, or asks you to reply YES first when the rules say so. Anything that reaches a customer or moves money waits for your approval. You can see every rule, and you can only make them stricter.
A team if you want one
You can run the tools on your own. If you'd rather have help, our team runs the marketing, lead follow-up and AI setup for you on a paid plan.
Read every Sherpa rule on what Sherpa will and won't do.
SWITCHING
Moving from CompanyCam to Peak.
Most of it is two spreadsheets. Run both side by side for a week if you like.
Step 1
Export from CompanyCam
In CompanyCam on the web, click your user icon, then Company Settings, then the Exports tab. Pick a date range and Project or Checklist data, then Export .CSV, and it's emailed to you. Only Admins and Managers can export. Photos download by project.
Step 2
Import your customers
In Peak, open Contacts and choose Import. Upload the spreadsheet and match the columns. Rows with the same email or phone merge instead of making duplicates.
Step 3
Bring your price book
The Estimator imports your items and prices from a spreadsheet. There's a template to fill in if your old export doesn't line up.
Step 4
Connect your own accounts
Hook up your texting number, email, AI key and Stripe when you're ready to send and get paid. Nothing goes out until you do.
Step 5
Finish open jobs, then switch
Let jobs already in progress finish where they are, and start new ones in Peak. Rather not do the move yourself? Our team can help.

COMPANYCAM VS PEAK
Common questions.
When we checked on October 19, 2026, CompanyCam's Core plan was $63 a month billed yearly or $79 month to month, Crew was $119 or $149, and Scale was $249 or $299. AI features start on Crew. The Peak tools, job photos included, are free when sign-up opens.
Yes. Peak saves job photos with the time and place they were taken, and keeps them on the job with the estimate, schedule and invoices. CompanyCam has a dedicated camera app with offline mode; Peak installs from your phone's browser today.
Not in its camera, as of October 16, 2026. Its help center says you pick the project first, with nearby projects listed at the top. Its uploader can match older photos to a job's address.
Either works. Many crews keep the camera app they know and use Peak for leads, estimates, invoices and scheduling. To move over, export your project data to CSV from CompanyCam's Company Settings and download the photos you want to keep.
