An honest comparison

Construction daily log apps, compared straight.

CompanyCam, Raken, Procore, and SiteLog AI all touch the daily log. They are not the same kind of tool — and the right one depends on what you actually need. Here's the difference, without the marketing fog.

Our bias, stated up front: we make SiteLog AI. So here's the honest version — if you need scheduling, bidding, and accounting in one giant system, buy the giant system. If you need today's jobsite on the record before you're out of the parking lot — that's us.

When the others are the right call

Real answer, because it's true:

CHOOSE COMPANYCAM IF…

Your business runs on photos — before/after documentation and client-facing photo reports — and the written daily log is secondary to the visual record.

CHOOSE RAKEN IF…

You're a mid-size GC standardizing formal daily-report workflows across many field teams, and quote-based enterprise software fits your process.

CHOOSE PROCORE IF…

You need scheduling, bidding, RFIs, submittals, and financials in one platform and have the staff to run it. It's the giant system — sometimes you need the giant system.

Choose SiteLog if the record is the point. Thirty seconds, gloves on.

One job: put the day on the record before you're out of the parking lot — and keep it, searchable in plain English, for the life of the project. $24.99 per seat · 30 days free · no charge today · cancel anytime. No demo call required.
