LibreExport to AccuLynx
The roofing CRM you already use, plus free unlimited-user photo capture. Cut the CompanyCam line item — keep the AccuLynx pipeline.
Photo documentation for AccuLynx users
LibreCam is a free CompanyCam alternative for AccuLynx shops — unlimited field crew, voice-captioned offline capture, photo sets and share links you export and attach inside AccuLynx job records. AccuLynx is the roofing CRM for estimating, job pipeline, distributor orders (ABC Supply, QXO, SRS), and crew dispatch on residential and storm-restoration shops. Most roofing crews layer CompanyCam at $79/mo (3-user min) + $29 each additional on top; LibreCam delivers the same field workflow at $0, dropping share links into AccuLynx job notes.
How the workflow works
Roofers capture with LibreCam (free, unlimited users)
Crews open LibreCam, select or name the matching LibreCam project, and document storm damage, hail strikes, granular loss, and roof condition with GPS, timestamp, and voice-to-text captions. Works offline in storm-disrupted areas where cell service has dropped.
Build the insurance-ready evidence set
Annotate damage with shapes and arrows. Generate a multi-photo storm damage report or a before/after completion summary inside LibreCam — suitable for attaching to Xactimate claim documentation.
Attach to the AccuLynx job record
Drop the LibreCam share link or exported photo folder into the matching AccuLynx lead, estimate, or production job. Your office sees the documentation alongside the rest of the customer history — no native API push required today.
Send completion reports to the homeowner
AccuLynx delivers the estimate and invoice; LibreCam photos travel with it. Adjusters and homeowners see GPS-locked storm evidence on every record — clear documentation reduces callbacks.
Why AccuLynx shops drop CompanyCam
Cut hundreds per month off your AccuLynx bill
CompanyCam runs $79/mo (3-user min) + $29 each additional. An 8-person roofing crew pays $224/mo — $2,688/year — on CompanyCam alone, on top of AccuLynx. LibreCam delivers the same field workflow at $0.
Storm damage documentation for insurance files
GPS- and timestamp-tagged photos of hail strikes, missing shingles, and granular loss. Defensible against insurance pushback. EXIF metadata preserved on export — suitable as a photo set for Xactimate claim documentation.
Free seats for sub crews and 1099 storm chasers
Adding 1099 storm-chase crews to CompanyCam multiplies the per-seat cost fast. LibreCam stays $0 at any team size — every sub, helper, and storm chaser captures evidence without a license fee, then exports into the office's AccuLynx record.
Offline-first capture in remote storm zones
Tornado-damaged neighborhoods often have no cellular service. LibreCam captures locally with metadata locked at the moment of the shot; everything syncs when the truck reaches signal — ready to export and attach to AccuLynx.
Homeowner share links straight from the job record
Public browser links to the completed-job photo gallery. Drop the link into AccuLynx homeowner communications — no app install required for the customer. Drives review requests and referrals.
Where AccuLynx + LibreCam beats AccuLynx + CompanyCam
AccuLynx + CompanyCam is the standard setup, and it works — CompanyCam has the deeper native AccuLynx integration today and a longer roofing track record. The math is what hurts: an 8-user crew is $224/mo on CompanyCam alone on top of AccuLynx, and most roofing shops under 25 people are walking away from $2,000-$4,000/year on the photo line. If your shop depends on specific deep CompanyCam features, stay. If it doesn't, the price tag isn't justified.
About AccuLynx in 2026
AccuLynx is roofing-specific CRM used by thousands of residential and commercial roofers across the US — estimating, distributor ordering (ABC Supply, QXO, SRS), job pipeline, and sales reporting. Pricing is custom-quoted (request a quote at acculynx.com). Top industry alternatives: JobNimbus, Roofr, and RoofSnap — LibreCam works with all three via the same export-and-attach pattern.
Frequently Asked Questions
For most residential roofing and storm-restoration crews, yes. LibreCam covers the same field workflow — GPS-tagged photos, before/after pairs, organized galleries, voice-to-text captions, public share links, offline mode. Where CompanyCam still has an edge is in the deepest native AccuLynx automation; for the majority of AccuLynx users, LibreCam is a drop-in replacement that removes the CompanyCam seat line entirely.
Today the integration is export-and-attach: LibreCam compiles photos into an organized folder and public share link, and your office or estimator drops the link into the matching AccuLynx lead, contact, or production job. Deeper native API integration is on the roadmap. The export-and-attach path requires no new vendor setup and works on any AccuLynx plan.
Three ways. First, every photo is GPS-locked and timestamped at capture, with EXIF metadata that can be verified during the claims process. Second, voice-to-text captions let a roofer narrate hail-strike density or granular loss while walking the roof. Third, offline-first capture works in storm-disrupted areas where cell service has dropped. The complete record exports as a multi-photo PDF report suitable for attaching to Xactimate claim documentation.
CompanyCam at $79/mo (3-user min) + $29 each additional puts 8 users at $224/mo — $2,688/year (companycam.com/pricing, May 2026). AccuLynx is custom-priced on top of that. AccuLynx + LibreCam is just the AccuLynx subscription, because LibreCam is $0 at any team size. Annual savings on the photo line alone is around $2,688/year for an 8-person crew.
Material ordering stays inside AccuLynx, where the distributor integrations live. LibreCam handles the photo evidence — pre-installation roof condition, in-progress capture, and completion photos — that AccuLynx attaches to the matching job alongside the material order. AccuLynx keeps the material order; LibreCam keeps the photos.
Yes. LibreCam doesn't touch your AccuLynx contract — it's a separate free app. Your AccuLynx pricing stays exactly as-is. Today the integration is export-and-attach — LibreCam compiles photos into a folder and share link, and your office drops it into the matching AccuLynx job record. There is no native API sync today; deeper AccuLynx integration is on the roadmap.
