New Commercial, Pro and Public Safety & Enterprise plans offer different levels of processing, storage and tools based on each project.
SkyeBrowse has introduced a new pricing structure designed to make 3D drone mapping more flexible for commercial users, public safety agencies and larger organizations.
The company has launched three plans: Commercial, Pro, and Public Safety & Enterprise. Instead of monthly seat-based pricing, customers now pay based on finished models and select the processing quality, storage period and tools required for the job.
Three Plans for Different Mapping Needs
The Commercial plan costs $24.99 per model. It includes 8K processing, claimed accuracy of 0.5 inches, three months of storage, and core tools for viewing, measuring, annotating and sharing models.
The Pro plan costs $49.99 per model. It adds one year of storage, exports, AI tools, custom white labeling and the ability to import custom 3D models.
Public Safety & Enterprise costs $199 per model per year. It includes 16K processing, claimed accuracy of 0.1 inches, unlimited users and five years of guaranteed storage. The plan also includes CJIS compliance and tools designed for evidence management.
The structure is intended to give smaller operators access to advanced 3D mapping without requiring an enterprise subscription. At the other end of the market, agencies can choose a package designed around longer-term storage, security and collaboration requirements.
That approach reflects a theme SkyeBrowse CEO Bobby Ouyang discussed in a recent DRONELIFE exclusive interview: drone programs become harder to scale when specialized tools require specialized users.
“Our goal every release is that the user does less,” Ouyang told DRONELIFE. “A two-orbit automated flight, a video upload, and a model a few minutes later. Sophisticated on the inside, simple on the outside. Simple is the goal.”
The new pricing model extends that focus on simplicity to how organizations buy and use the platform.
New Tools Expand Model Uses
SkyeBrowse also released several new viewer and account features.
The new Import Custom 3D Model tool allows users to place GLB or STL files inside a captured scene. Users can position, rotate and scale the imported object. The feature could support applications such as visualizing proposed equipment or structures within an existing site.
A new Case Gallery feature allows multiple photographs to be attached to a single model annotation. For public safety teams, this can keep supporting images connected to a specific location within a 3D scene.
Users can also upgrade existing Freemium models to paid tiers. Higher-tier tools become available while the full-resolution model rebuilds in the background. SkyeBrowse has also added Microsoft account sign-in.
The new lineup addresses a wide range of users, from pilots creating a few models each month to agencies managing 3D data as part of larger operational programs. By tying pricing to finished models rather than monthly seats, SkyeBrowse is betting that access to 3D mapping can expand without requiring every customer to make the same level of commitment.
