Oculo vs Doxel

Two AI-first progress-tracking tools that turn site walks with a 360° camera into progress against plan, both sold by demo with no public prices. Partly like-for-like (our reading): Oculo maps passive 360° walks to your floor plans or 3D model, says BIM is not required, and turns weeks of progress data into forecasts by project, area, unit and activity, while Doxel compares hard-hat 360° video with your BIM to measure work in place by trade, system, component and stage, with a rules-of-credit engine, earned-value and pay-app support, drone tracking from dirt work and portfolio views. Desk research from vendor sites read Nov 2-3, 2026; no winner.

What it doesPassive 360° site walks turned into AI visual progress tracking and forecasts by project, area, unit and activity, aimed at multi-unit construction teams. Passive 360° walkthroughs are mapped to floor plans and organised over time; AI analyses each walkthrough for progress across floors, units and trades, highlights coordination issues and slowdowns, and produces progress updates the vendor says can support pay apps and hand-off decisions, with forecasts based on weeks of progress data. The FAQ says BIM is not required (floor plans and/or a 3D model are needed for processing, with side-by-side BIM comparison available), capture works without Wi-Fi or GPS including basements and tunnels, supported cameras are Insta360 models (X6 recommended; X5, X4, X3, X2 and One RS 1-Inch also listed) and Ricoh models, cameras can be hired for one-off scans or demos, faces are blurred, and there is no limit on users per project. The site names Autodesk, Procore and Fieldview integrations for creating issues. Case-study outcomes and customer quotes are vendor content and are not used.Automated progress tracking under the headline Physical Intelligence for Construction: you send the BIM (no VDC work), walk the site with a 360 camera mounted to a hard hat, and Doxel's computer vision compares the video with the model to measure work-in-place by trade, system, component and stage. Product features listed include a rules-of-credit engine for percent complete, a 3D progress view, progress by zone, trade and system, production rates and delay forecasts from historic production rates, out-of-sequence work flags, schedule mapping described as powered by language models, drone-based tracking from dirt work (including Utilities Underground Tracking from underground to finished buildout), earned-value budget and pay-app support, and portfolio views. Solutions are listed by stakeholder (owners, project executives, superintendents, BIM and VDC) and industry (data centers, health care, life sciences, manufacturing, semiconductors, oil and gas), plus a Touchplan partnership page. Delivery-speed, cost and time-saving percentages and customer quotes are vendor claims not used here.
Who it's forContractors and developers (UK housebuilder quoted).Executives, superintendents, and project teams on active jobs.
Pricing (as publicly stated)No public prices: oculo.ai/en-us has no pricing or plans link, /en-us/pricing returns a not-found page, and the routes are Book a demo and Contact Us. Confirm pricing with the vendor.Not publicly listed. The pricing FAQ says cost depends on the capabilities you need and the amount of construction you do or the size of the jobsite, and that Doxel generally charges by the square foot. Users are unlimited (not charged by the seat), Doxel can be used on a single jobsite, it integrates with P6, Procore and Autodesk, and the vendor says it takes under 2 weeks to get running.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • Who it is built for (vendor pages): Oculo says it gives multi-unit construction teams a view of real progress, and its case studies name UK contractors and housebuilders. Doxel lists solutions by stakeholder (owners, project executives, superintendents, BIM and VDC) and by industry (data centers, health care, life sciences, manufacturing, semiconductors, oil and gas).
  • What you need to start: Oculo says you need a supported 360° camera, its mobile app and a login, plus your floor plans and/or a 3D model for processing; BIM is not required, though side-by-side BIM comparison is available. Doxel says you send the BIM (no VDC work on your side) and walk the site with a 360 camera mounted to a hard hat.
  • Capture: Oculo lists Insta360 X6 (recommended), X5, X4, X3, X2 and One RS 1-Inch and the Ricoh Theta X, says capture does not depend on Wi-Fi or GPS (footage uploads after the scan), and can hire out cameras for one-off scans or demos. Doxel also lists drone-based tracking from dirt work, including Utilities Underground Tracking from underground to finished buildout.
  • Progress and forecasts: Oculo says AI tracks progress across floors, units and trades, highlights coordination issues and slowdowns, and forecasts each project, area, unit and activity from weeks of progress data. Doxel lists percent complete from a rules-of-credit engine, a 3D progress view, progress by zone, trade and system, production rates and delay forecasts from historic production rates, out-of-sequence work flags and schedule mapping it describes as powered by language models.
  • Money and reporting: Oculo says its progress updates can support pay apps and hand-off decisions. Doxel lists earned-value budget and pay-app support and portfolio views (vendor statements).
  • Connections: Oculo names Autodesk, Procore and Fieldview integrations for creating issues from its 360° records. Doxel's pricing FAQ says it integrates with P6, Procore and Autodesk, and it has a Touchplan partnership page.
  • Users and pricing (read Nov 2-3, 2026): neither publishes prices. Oculo says there is no limit on users per project and routes buyers to Book a demo. Doxel's FAQ says cost depends on the capabilities you need and the amount of construction or jobsite size, that it generally charges by the square foot, that users are unlimited, that it can be used on a single jobsite and that it takes under 2 weeks to get running (vendor statements).
  • Privacy: Oculo says it blurs faces in its captures. Doxel's pages we read do not cover face blurring.
  • AI tags: both are tagged AI-first.
  • Not used here: accuracy, delivery-speed, cost and time-saving figures, case-study outcomes and customer quotes (vendor material). Facts for both tools come from vendor websites (desk research).

Good or bad, an honest review from an estimator, PM or super helps the next team more than another vendor demo. You post under a handle; your email is never shown.

Questions to ask in your review

  • What each costs for your square footage and number of jobs
  • How each handles a project without a complete BIM model
  • Whether progress data from either tool flows into your P6 or Procore schedule without re-keying
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
