Pricing page data attributes (re-checked Oct 16, 2026) show Core $63/month billed annually ($79 monthly), Crew $119/month billed annually ($149 monthly), Scale $249/month billed annually ($299 monthly); additional users listed at $29 annually / $34 monthly on the same page. Enterprise is custom. Vendor FAQ says AI features are included in Crew, Scale, and Enterprise. Free trial offered.

Resolved Oct 25, 2026: the Compare Plans table conflict came from placeholder figures in the page's raw HTML ($129 and $199); when the pricing page is rendered in a browser, the table fills in from the same plan data as the cards and reads Core $63, Crew $119 and Scale $249 a month billed annually, matching the plan cards ($79, $149 and $299 billed monthly; additional users $29 annually or $34 monthly). The plan-card prices above are the current list prices.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each sells (vendor wording): PlanRadar lists site diaries, subcontractor task management, inspections, checklists and safety audits, defect management and snagging / punch lists, handovers and evidence management, plus facility fault recording and maintenance. CompanyCam lists timestamped photos and videos, auto-organized project history, photo reports, checklists, task assignment, a live job map, client access, payments, proposals and agreements.
  • Plans vs photos: PlanRadar pins tickets to drawings and BIM models with photos, videos, text and voice recordings, and exports punch lists into your own template. CompanyCam organizes work around photos and projects rather than drawings; the pages we read did not describe plan or BIM viewing.
  • AI (vendor descriptions): PlanRadar AI lists AI Agents that watch a project and take the actions you allow, AI form building, voice-to-ticket capture, a natural-language assistant, project-status overviews and AI search; its pricing table puts the AI features on Pro and Enterprise. CompanyCam says AI features are included on Crew, Scale and Enterprise, covering voice-driven checklists and reports, proposals from voice notes and photos (Crew), and auto-translated team communication and room measurement (Scale).
  • Who's on the account: PlanRadar prices per user and says subcontractors and watchers are free. CompanyCam includes 1 user on Core (2-user limit) and 3 users on Crew and Scale, with additional users at $29 each billed annually; Scale adds control of subcontractor access.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 27, 2026): PlanRadar lists Basic $32 (1 user), Starter $107 and Pro $159 per user per month billed annually ($35, $119 and $179 monthly), Enterprise by quote, with a 4% innovation fee from the second billing period and a 30-day free trial. CompanyCam lists Core $63, Crew $119 and Scale $249 a month billed annually, Enterprise for 50+ users by quote, and a free trial. See each tool page for detail.

  • How either connects to your project management or accounting system; check the integration lists for your stack
  • 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?
