Crewscope vs FYLD

Two AI tools that capture what field crews see and route it to managers, built around different channels. Crewscope runs on plain text messages, with one AI per site that crews text, for construction, industrial and mining sites. FYLD is a mobile app where utility, energy and heavy civil crews capture video risk assessments, with an AI cloud dashboard for managers. Neither publishes prices. Desk research from vendor pages read Oct 27, 2026; not tested, no winner.

What it doesSMS-first AI field-intelligence platform for construction, industrial and mining crews that turns worker texts into reports, logs and lookaheads. It pushes weekly schedules to workers by text (no app/login), lets crews text hazards, progress, labor and constraints, and structures that into safety reports, lookaheads, daily logs, deficiency close-out with photo proof, equipment check-in/out, maintenance, and worker certification tracking with expiry reminders. Vendor cites case metrics (e.g. EllisDon, Deltera/Hazelview, Amrize) and SOC 2 Type II attestation (vendor claims). Features page says AI prepares a schedule lookahead and crews text progress to AI. Live-in-a-week with standard integrations claimed on homepage. Re-read Oct 16, 2026: homepage still says workers text what they see and "Crewscope AI structures it, routes it, and closes it", lists schedule and daily logs, and repeats SMS-first / no app / SOC 2 Type II (vendor claims). Re-read Oct 17, 2026: the integrations page describes two-way, real-time sync of supported records (deficiencies, observations, inspections, photos and daily logs), names Procore integrations, and says its team goes on site to configure workflows; the features page says equipment check-in and check-out by QR code is matched against office POs. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the navigation now links an AI Field Engineer page: each deployment gets its own AI assigned to the site, with its own phone number and email address, that knows the site's SOPs, crew and chain of command; workers sign up by QR code with a name and number and talk to it by SMS, voice notes and photos in their own language; it classifies and routes observations, follows up with action owners and asks the right person for sign-off, and Crewscope says the AI captures, your team approves, and the owner sees what you verify. Crewscope says it built a multi-agent privacy architecture so workers do not see everything, one of two pending patents, and that the product was built from three years on complex North American sites (vendor statements). Homepage figures and SOC 2 Type II are unchanged. Re-checked Oct 21, 2026: homepage and AI Field Engineer page unchanged in substance (one AI per site with its own phone number and email, QR sign-up, SMS, voice notes and photos in each worker's language, the multi-agent privacy architecture as one of two pending patents, SOC 2 Type II, live in a week). Homepage adoption and production figures are vendor claims and not used. Re-checked Oct 23, 2026: still SMS-first with one AI per site, QR signup, SOC 2 Type II and a stated live-in-a-week rollout; the AI Field Engineer page now adds that it keeps context between shifts and brings its own workflows where a site has none documented. Re-checked Oct 25, 2026: the homepage headline now reads AI Field Intelligence for Construction, Industrial, and Mining Frontline (push the weekly plan to every worker's phone by text, workers text what they see and Crewscope AI structures, routes and closes it); the AI Field Engineer page still describes one AI per site with its own phone number and email, QR signup, SMS, voice notes and photos in each worker's language, follow-ups when an action owner does not respond, and a statement that the AI captures and your team approves. Case-study schedule, adoption, production and ROI figures are vendor claims and not used. Re-checked Oct 27, 2026 (also read for a compare): homepage, product features and AI Field Engineer pages unchanged in substance (texts pushed to every worker's phone, no app or login; safety, schedule lookahead, daily logs, equipment, deficiencies, worker certifications and maintenance; one AI per site with its own phone number and email; the AI captures and your team approves). Case-study figures are vendor claims and not used.AI platform for high-risk infrastructure field work (utilities, energy, highways, water); not a timesheet app. The product page says the FYLD app converts crew video, photo, audio and text into video work or risk assessments, records progress through the day, flags issues to managers and hands over incomplete jobs, while FYLD Cloud (described as AI-powered) alerts managers only to events that need action and supports setting job-duration targets, comparing team performance and scheduling. The FAQ says crews film and describe the task, hazards and controls and FYLD's AI flags conditions the worker might have missed, with managers able to add controls remotely; it lists offline mode with original timestamps on sync, open APIs and data services for ERP/EAM/GIS, and ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II / GDPR (vendor statements). Customers quoted on the site include Amey, M Group Water, NCDOT and Morrisons Water Services; outcome figures (e.g. 20% fewer injuries and incidents, 90% less paper, 6x ROI) are vendor claims. The vendor announced a $41M Series B on Feb 18, 2026 (vendor press release). Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the homepage now carries a news item on Amey deploying FYLD for highways operations, and the FAQ says FYLD analyses site activity in real time with natural-language processing and computer vision. The ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Type II / GDPR statement and the tailored subscription tiers are unchanged. Re-checked Oct 22, 2026: homepage, product page and FAQ unchanged in substance (AI-native platform for infrastructure field work; video risk assessments; FYLD Cloud alerts; natural-language processing and computer vision on site activity; offline mode with original timestamps; ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR; Amey highways news item and the Series B release still listed). Outcome and ROI figures and customer quotes are vendor material and not used. Re-checked Oct 24, 2026: the homepage leads with a frontline intelligence message, and its menus list Utilities, Heavy civils and Energy industry pages, a Data protection page and a Spanish-language version. The FAQ is unchanged in substance (NLP and computer vision on site activity, offline mode with original timestamps, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR). A FYLD ShowMe page (early access) describes a link that a utility's customers use to report issues or request services by video, with AI agents and a searchable video knowledge base for technicians (vendor description). Recent insights include an Aug 10, 2026 utility case study and a June 1, 2026 energy whitepaper. Outcome and ROI figures and customer quotes are vendor material and not used. Re-checked Oct 26, 2026: homepage and product page unchanged in substance (AI-native platform for critical infrastructure field work; FYLD Cloud; recent news includes an Aug 6, 2026 executive appointment, a March 12, 2026 Amey highways deployment and a Feb 18, 2026 Series B announcement). Outcome figures and customer quotes are still not used. Re-checked Oct 27, 2026 (read for a compare): homepage, product page and FAQ unchanged in substance (frontline intelligence; FYLD app and AI-powered FYLD Cloud; NLP and computer vision; offline mode; Android, iOS and browser; open APIs; ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR; English and Spanish). Outcome and ROI figures and customer quotes are vendor material and not used.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each sells (vendor wording): Crewscope lists safety reporting, weekly schedule lookaheads, daily logs, equipment check-in and check-out by QR code, deficiency close-out with photo proof, worker certification tracking with expiry reminders, and maintenance inspections, all run by text, voice or photo. FYLD lists the FYLD app (video, photo, audio and text turned into video work and risk assessments, progress through the day, issue flags and job handovers) and FYLD Cloud (alerts for events that need action, job-duration targets, team comparison and scheduling).
  • How the AI is used: Crewscope gives each site its own AI Field Engineer with a phone number and email that classifies worker texts, routes them, follows up with action owners and asks for sign-off; Crewscope says the AI captures and your team approves. FYLD says it analyses site activity in real time with natural-language processing and computer vision and prompts workers and managers when something is missing or risky.
  • Field access: Crewscope says workers need no app or login, sign up by QR code with a name and number, and are reached by SMS, voice notes and photos in their own language. FYLD runs on Android and iOS phones and tablets with offline mode (data syncs with original timestamps) and has an English and Spanish site.
  • Who they name: Crewscope names general contractors and industrial operators on construction, industrial and mining sites, with roles from HSE teams and site supervisors to project managers and workers. FYLD names utilities, heavy civils and energy, with pages for managers, fieldworkers, contractors and civil engineers.
  • Integrations and security (vendor statements): Crewscope says it goes live in a week with standard integrations and lists SOC 2 Type II. FYLD lists open APIs and data services for ERP, EAM and GIS, and ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 27, 2026): neither publishes prices. Crewscope routes to Book a demo and /pricing returns a not-found page. FYLD's FAQ says it offers tailored subscription tiers by use case and scale after a demo. See each tool page for detail.
  • Not used here: Crewscope's schedule, adoption, production and ROI case figures, and FYLD's injury, productivity and ROI figures and customer quotes (vendor claims).
