Where SiteRecon delivers more
Beam AI is a capable takeoff tool for teams that work across multiple trades. SiteRecon is purpose-built for outdoor services — which means every feature is designed for the specific way landscape, snow, paving, and plant health care companies win and service work.
SiteRecon's AI scans latest HD aerial imagery and automatically identifies turf, beds, hardscape, snow zones, and paving areas — with up to 95–98% accuracy without manual tracing. Beam AI offers AI aerial measurement, but its multi-trade architecture means its outdoor measurement models aren't tuned to the nuance of landscape and snow properties that SiteRecon's are, which is required for outdoor services.
SiteRecon's Scout AI lets estimators generate instant remote measurements through a conversational interface — available from $39/mo. Ask Scout to measure a property, check square footage, or prep a bid package, and it responds immediately. Beam AI has no comparable conversational estimating agent.
Conduct field audits, capture geotagged photos, and document site conditions from your mobile device with SiteRecon's built-in audit tools. Generate branded site condition reports to share with clients instantly. Beam AI's Attentive OnSite app covers geo-tagged site notes, but lacks the structured audit forms and reporting that SiteRecon delivers.
SiteRecon connects directly to Aspire, ServiceTitan, LMN/Granum, SingleOps, Real Green, Arborgold, and more — so measurements flow into estimates and proposals without manual re-entry. Beam AI's integrations are built around a broader contractor market and lack the depth of outdoor-services-specific CRM connections.
SiteRecon supports every outdoor services vertical — landscape maintenance, snow removal, paving, plant health care, utilities, and construction. Beam AI covers snow and paving but lacks support for plant health care programs, which is a meaningful gap for full-service landscape companies managing PHC revenue.
Submit an entire RFP property list at once and receive all measurements in parallel — a capability SiteRecon delivers natively for contractors managing 50 to 500 property bid packages. Both platforms support bulk measurement, but SiteRecon's outdoor-services workflow keeps results organized by service zone, not just lot boundary.
Real value vs. general-purpose pricing
Beam AI pricing is not publicly listed and requires a sales conversation. SiteRecon offers transparent plans starting at $39/mo for Scout AI. Here's how the value factors compare.

| Time to first takeoff | Minutes | Hours of setup + configuration |
