CompanyCam alternative
CompanyCam is very good at photo documentation for construction and the trades. Looking after boats is a different job. The work isn’t at a street address, it’s a vessel you come back to every month, with an owner who wants to know how she’s doing.
Here’s where the two differ, sourced from CompanyCam’s own pages, including where CompanyCam is the better pick.

What changes for boat work
A photo app organizes work by job. A marine contractor’s work is the same boats, visit after visit, and what matters is how each one is doing.
Every boat keeps her own history, and an owner change doesn’t wipe it. In CompanyCam, work lives in projects at an address.
No generator, no generator checks. CompanyCam checklists come from templates picked for each job.
Every answer is Pass, Watch or Action and carries its weight. CompanyCam has yes or no, ratings and multiple choice, with no weighting.
Weighted by what’s at stake, with every lost point listed on the report. CompanyCam doesn’t publish a scoring feature.
An equipment registry with hour readings and due dates. CompanyCam doesn’t publish an equipment or maintenance module.
Scan it and her guide opens, with photos of where things are. CompanyCam’s project QR codes open the project’s photos.
Side by side
“Not found” means CompanyCam doesn’t publish it. It may still exist, so ask them. Our column is held to the same rule: “Partly” and “Coming” mean exactly that.

When CompanyCam fits better
You want billing and payments in one app.
CompanyCam has invoicing and card payments, expanded when it bought Beam in 2026. YachtGrade leaves billing to QuickBooks.
Most of your work is on land.
Construction and the trades are what CompanyCam is built around.
You need a long list of integrations.
CompanyCam connects to QuickBooks, Jobber and many more.
You work out of signal all day.
CompanyCam works offline and uploads when you’re back in signal. YachtGrade saves photos with no signal, but answers need a connection.
What we checked
Sources: CompanyCam pricing and the help and feature pages linked in the table. Checked September 16, 2026. Products change, so check with CompanyCam before you decide.
Trying it
Nothing here asks you to cancel anything first. Put a few boats in YachtGrade, check them, and compare what the owners get.
Add her and set what’s aboard. Her checklist builds itself from that.
Invite your techs and subcontractors. A subcontractor sees only the boats you assign.
Check her on a phone, then send the owner a link to the report. No login needed to read it.
Prove it, then own it
30 days free on up to 3 boats. No card and no sales call.
Four promises
CompanyCam is a trademark of its owner. YachtGrade isn’t affiliated with CompanyCam. Details about CompanyCam come from its public pages, checked September 16, 2026, and may have changed since. A YachtGrade report is a condition and readiness report, not a survey.
