Digital Geodocumentation and Surveying for the construction, planning and maintenance of infrastructure projects. Built for project teams: GPS navigation in construction plans and satellite map with georeferenced photos, centimeter-accurate measurement, as-built documentation and collaboration. SitePlan enables project teams to navigate PDF plans and a satellite map with their phone GPS. The plans are simply converted into digital GPS maps. Photos taken are also automatically located with their geoposition on the plans and on the map. In addition, each project member can easily connect to GNSS smart antennas, which enables positioning to the centimeter. This makes staking out, centimeter-accurate as-built documentation and digital field measurements a breeze. All data such as plans and photos are available to the entire project team in real time. This enables you to: - See your position on the construction plan and on the satellite map for better orientation - Easily localize plan objects such as lines, e.g. to avoid line damage - Immediately locate construction site photos automatically with GPS - Manage all construction plans digitally - Create conclusive photo reports including location information with just a few clicks Our customers appreciate our app primarily because of: - the simple localization of plan objects (e.g. lines) and the avoidance of line damage - the simple documentation of the construction progress with GPS photos - the much better orientation on the construction site through GPS - the elimination of time-consuming measuring work using tapes and strings - the elimination of time-consuming field measurements using sheets and a wheel - Centimeter-accurate documentation of construction work and local conditions such as lines and pipes

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SitePlan at 86% against Trimble SiteVision's 0%. SitePlan also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Trimble SiteVision's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Trimble SiteVision holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trimble SiteVision has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of SitePlan's written reviews are positive against 0% of Trimble SiteVision's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SitePlan ships an update fortnightly, Trimble SiteVision every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
