Asof vs Timemark vs Timestamp Camera vs CompanyCam
Four apps that put a date and time on photos, compared on the things that decide the choice: how you pay, whether there is a PDF report, where the photos live, and whether you need an account. Facts only, from each product's own pricing page, help center or store listing, checked on October 14, 2026; the free-tier section was checked on November 9, 2026. Prices and plans change; the links at the bottom lead to the current pages.
Short answer. Timemark and CompanyCam sell subscriptions and keep photos in their cloud. Timestamp Camera is a free stamping camera with ads or a small one-time upgrade, without reports. Asof is a stamping camera with a PDF report, paid once, with photos staying on the phone.

What "free" actually means in each app
Several of these apps are "free" on the store page. The free tiers are not the same thing, and the difference matters if you take photos every day. Facts from each vendor's own help or pricing page or store listing, checked November 9, 2026.
| App | What the free tier lets you do | What it adds or withholds | Paid option |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asof | Camera with the full stamp, unlimited photos, saving and sharing. | No watermark, no ads, no photo limit. PDF reports and exports are behind the one payment. | One payment in the store. No subscription. |
| Timemark | Capture with date, time, GPS and address; shared workspace up to 100 photos and 3 projects. | Timemark logo on every photo on the free plan; the help center says the free plan does not generate reports. | Plus is an in-app subscription on iOS (Android also offers a non-renewing one-year purchase); prices set by region, shown on timemark.com/pricing. |
| Timestamp Camera (jeyluta) | Timestamp on photos and video. | Ads in the free version (App Store listing lists advertising). | In-app "Upgrade to pro version" $4.99 on the US App Store; a separate paid Pro app also exists. |
| CompanyCam | No free plan; free trial. | — | Core $63 per month billed annually (1 user, 2-user limit), Crew $129, Scale $199; extra users $29 each. |
| JotCam | "Free forever": capture or import, date/time/GPS/direction stamp, markup, project labels, sharing. | Small JotCam watermark on new photos; no PDF/CSV/KMZ exports or report layouts. | Pro one-time purchase, listed at CAD 6.99 (store sets the final price), per platform. |
| Solocator | No free tier: the app is paid. | Project name, company logo, street address and other "Industry Pack" fields are a separate in-app purchase. | App $0.99 plus Industry Pack $5.99, both one-off, on the US App Store. |
If the question is "which app does this without a subscription", the honest list today is Asof, JotCam, Solocator and Timestamp Camera; of those, Asof and Solocator put no vendor watermark on the photo, and Asof is the only one of the four with a free camera that has neither a watermark nor ads. If you need a shared cloud workspace for several people, that is what the subscriptions are for.
One-time payment apps side by side: Asof, JotCam, Solocator

Who each one is for
Timemark if you want cloud sync, a web dashboard and server-side verification and you are fine with a monthly plan. CompanyCam if a company with several people needs shared projects, integrations and automated documents, at a monthly price per seat. Timestamp Camera if you only need the stamp on the photo and no report. Asof if one person needs stamped photos and a PDF for the client, the office or a claim, paid once, with photos that stay on the phone.
To see what an Asof report contains before installing anything, download a sample report (PDF): seven photos of a roof inspection, each with its time, clock check, GPS position, address and their sources.
What this table does not say
Nothing here is a claim about proof. A stamp on a photo shows what the phone knew at that moment and, in Asof, where each value came from; whether a photo settles an argument depends on who reads it. None of these apps changes that.
Two things Asof is sometimes credited with and does not have: it does not detect edits or "spoofing" beyond the mock-location flag Android itself provides (iPhone has no such flag), and before/after photos are paired side by side in the PDF, not overlaid; the overlay exists only in the camera, to line up the second shot.
