Better Than CompanyCam for Proposal Evidence — Free Calculators That Show Their Work
CompanyCam solves one specific problem well: jobsite photo documentation mapped to a project and searchable later. That's useful for warranty claims and punch lists — but it doesn't help the photos land where they matter most, which is inside the proposal that closes or loses the next job. Reise is the other side of that flow: free pricing calculators that defend the number, and a founder-led teardown that rewrites how proof (including those CompanyCam photos) gets placed in the actual pitch document.
What makes Reise different
- Shows its math step by step so you can audit every number.
- Always free, with no account wall between you and the estimate.
- Built for 1099 contractors who need practical planning, not vague averages.

FAQ
Is Reise trying to replace CompanyCam?
No. CompanyCam is best-in-class for jobsite photo docs and warranty trails. Keep it. Reise is about the document that earns the job — pricing that holds up and a proposal that positions your past work as proof, not a photo dump.
Why are CompanyCam photos not closing more proposals on their own?
Because a gallery of 40 jobsite photos is evidence — but evidence the buyer has to interpret. A proposal that closes shows two or three specific photos tied to a specific claim ('we handled this same tile detail on a 1924 bungalow — here's the result'). The Proposal OS teardown rewrites that positioning. Photos work harder when they answer a question the buyer already has.
What's the pricing calculator for a field-heavy contractor?
Freelance/contractor rate at /tools/freelance-rate for solo operators, and project profitability at /tools/project-profitability for crew-based work. Both are free and show every formula — useful when your rate hasn't moved in two years and margins are drifting.
How do I get a proposal audit?
/proposal-os/free-audit. Upload your proposal (PDF or Word) or paste it. Three-fix audit back by email, usually within 24 hours. No call, no signup, no sales funnel. The $750 teardown is optional if you want the full rebuild.
