Kevin vs Contents.team

Both turn photographs into a contents inventory. They differ on where the camera points and on how they charge — and those are the two things worth checking before anything else.

What is the difference between Kevin and Contents.team?

Where the evidence comes from, and how you pay. Their site describes photographing rooms and charges per seat; Kevin has no seats at all, charges a flat monthly fee, and is built around photographs of individual items.

Everything attributed to Contents.team below is a direct quote from their own public site, read on 23 October 2026. We have not scored their product on a feature grid, because we cannot test it the way you can and a table of our guesses about a competitor would not be worth reading. Where the honest answer is “try both”, that is what this page says.

Kevin is not affiliated with Contents.team. Their site is the authority on what their product does today; if it has changed since the date above, it is right and this is stale.

What they say, in their words

OnTheir words
The promise“The inventory writes itself.”
The workflow“You shoot. That’s the whole job.”
The photographs“Photograph each room the way you already do, even the dim basement and the inside of the wardrobe.”
Pricing“Seats are $299/month, and every organization gets 1,000 items included each month.”
Exports“Approved claim inventories can export as XactContents-format XLSX, CSV, or a PDF report.”

Where the camera points

This is the real distinction, and it is visible in each product’s own description rather than inferred. Theirs is written around the room. Kevin is written around the item: several photographs of one object — the thing itself, its model plate, the damage — are proposed as a single line, which you confirm before anything is priced.

Neither approach is automatically right. Room-first is quicker to a draft and good for establishing that property existed and roughly how much of it. Item-first costs more shooting time and gives the schedule something to argue from when brand, model or tier moves the price. Which matters depends on the claim.

We do not sell seats on purpose. An adjuster who adds a colleague should not pay twice for the same software, and we never price per seat because doing so punishes exactly the growth a small firm is trying to achieve. That is a position, not a criticism — but it is a checkable difference, so do the arithmetic on your own headcount.

What to test, rather than take from us

Run the same ten photographs through both, including two bad ones, and look at four things:

  • The item count against the photo count. More items than photographs needs explaining.
  • What happens to a blurred or unreadable frame. A confident wrong description is worse than a blank.
  • Whether a price traces to a listing you can open from the row.
  • Whether the export imports without reformatting. Actually import it.

Those four answer more than any comparison page, including this one. The criteria in full are on what to look for in contents software, which deliberately ranks nothing.

Common questions

Is Kevin faster than Contents.team?
We will not claim that, because we cannot run your claim on both. Their site leads with "You shoot. That’s the whole job." Ours puts a review step between the photographs and the line items. Which is faster depends on how much of the review you would have done anyway.
What is the actual difference?
Where the camera points. Their page says "Photograph each room the way you already do." Kevin is built around photographs of individual items, several of which become one line. That is a difference in what evidence the schedule is built from, and it shows up most on property where the model moves the price.
Can Kevin use room photos?
A room photograph is useful context and it establishes that property existed. It rarely establishes which product something was, which is what a replacement price is argued from — so Kevin treats item-level photographs as the working evidence and a room shot as background.
How do the two price?
Differently in kind. Their FAQ states "Seats are $299/month, and every organization gets 1,000 items included each month." Kevin is $249 a month flat with no seats at all and 2,000 line items included — a second adjuster costs nothing. Check both against your own headcount and volume.
Do both export to XactContents?
Both say so. Their site lists "XactContents-format XLSX, CSV, or a PDF report." Kevin exports an Xactimate (Excel) .xlsx in the XactContents template and a room-by-room PDF; we have no CSV export, as CSV in Kevin is an import format for written inventories.
Is this comparison impartial?
It is ours, so read it as such. What we have done is quote them rather than characterise them, date what we read, and leave out every claim we could not check. If something here is out of date or wrong, their site is the authority on their product and ours on Kevin.
