GeoCam Free vs. Pro: Styles, Ads, Badge and Field Tools
Free: video watermarking, templates, 13 styles, 14 geo elements, Report Bar, bearing, GPS accuracy, UTM/MGRS and projects, with ads and a small GeoCam badge. Pro (weekly, yearly or lifetime): removes both, unlocks every style and element, logo, batch stamping and the Pro field tools.
The problem
You’re trying to choose an app for a job, or decide whether to pay, and the pricing is a guessing game. Some camera apps give you a stamp and then bury the one thing you need behind a paywall after you’ve already shot the photos.
Free
The core camera is free and generous:
- Photo and video stamping (date and time, place, coordinates, altitude, weather, device info)
- 13 styles and 14 geo elements
- Your own templates
- Camera tools: grid, macro, aspect ratios, HEIC/JPEG/PNG and volume shutter
- Field basics: Report Bar, shooting bearing, GPS accuracy, UTM/MGRS coordinates and projects
- The gallery, map views and batch tools
Free shows ads and adds a small GeoCam badge to exports.
Pro
- No ads and no badge
- All 24 styles and 26 geo elements
- Your own logo on the stamp
- Batch stamping of photos already in your library
- Pro field tools: Survey Bar, Weather Bar, PDF field reports, KML/KMZ/GeoJSON/CSV export, verified timestamps, auto backup and note presets
Available as a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
Which one do you need?
| If you… | Free is probably enough | Consider Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Shoot travel and social photos | Yes, if a small badge doesn’t bother you | If you want it clean and every style |
| Document work occasionally | Yes: the Report Bar and bearing are free | If clients need PDF reports or GIS files |
| Do regular site work for clients | Rarely | Yes: reports, exports, verified timestamps, backup |
| Need old photos stamped | No | Yes: batch stamping |
Tip
Start free and shoot a real job. Everything you need to judge the stamp quality is there. See field reports and GIS export to decide whether the Pro exports are worth it for you.
