Short version
These three are not really competitors; each is best at a different job.
- Raken: the daily report, plus time cards and production.
- Fieldwire: drawings, tasks and punch lists, with reports on paid plans.
- CompanyCam: photos, mainly for customers and the office.
We make Daily Site Log, a fourth option for crews that only need the daily report. Prices below come from each vendor's page or the named sources in our pricing guides, as of November 2026.

Pick by the job
- The daily report is the workflow and you need hours or quantities in it: Raken.
- Crews work from plans and close out punch lists: Fieldwire.
- Photos for homeowners, marketing and the office: CompanyCam.
If daily reports are all you need
Many small crews end up paying per user for features they never open. If what you actually need is the day's record (crew, weather, work, deliveries, delays, photos and a PDF for the client), a flat-priced daily report app costs less:
| Daily Site Log | |
|---|---|
| Price | $0 · $19/mo · $79/mo per company (5 seats) |
| Five people, per year | $948 |
| Daily report | Filled from a one-minute voice note |
| Photos | Stamped with time, GPS and SHA-256 hash |
| Delays | Structured, with a one-click project delay PDF |
| Proof | Sealed report anyone can verify |
It does not do time cards, drawings or customer photo galleries. Compare it one-to-one: vs Raken, vs Fieldwire, vs CompanyCam.

Frequently asked questions

Raken. Daily reports are its core product. Fieldwire's reports are part of a drawings-and-tasks platform, and CompanyCam is a photo documentation app with notes and reports built around photos.
Which is cheapest for a five-person crew?
Raken is reported at roughly $900–$3,540 a year for five users, Fieldwire Pro about $2,340 a year, and CompanyCam Crew with two extra users about $2,124 a year on annual billing. A flat daily report app like Daily Site Log Business is $948 a year.
Does Fieldwire's free plan include daily reports?
No. Fieldwire's free Basic plan covers up to 5 users and 3 projects but reports and exports start on Pro.
Can CompanyCam replace a daily report?
For photo-led trades such as roofing and remodeling it often does. For a structured record of crew, equipment, deliveries and delays, a daily report app is a better fit.
