SkyeBrowse updates pricing with new tools for drone 3D mapping

SkyeBrowse is giving its drone 3D modeling platform a new pricing structure, with three plans designed around how teams actually use their captured 3D models.

The Texas-based videogrammetry company has announced Commercial, Pro, and Public Safety & Enterprise tiers, alongside new viewer tools, custom 3D model imports, Microsoft sign-in, and other workflow updates.

For anyone unfamiliar with videogrammetry, the basic idea is pretty straightforward: capture video of a scene and turn that footage into a 3D model or 2D map. SkyeBrowse is used across construction, inspections, insurance, accident reconstruction, crime scene documentation, fire planning, and tactical operations. The new pricing plans essentially divide those use cases by how much teams need to do with the finished model.

Commercial starts at $24.99 per model

The Commercial tier is aimed at everyday mapping and documentation. It costs $24.99 per model with monthly billing, dropping to $19.99 per model when billed annually.

It includes 8K processing, 0.5-inch accuracy, three months of model storage, measuring, annotations, sharing, and tools for calculating area, angle, volume, and clips.

Organizations can have up to five users, while each model can use up to three videos, with each video limited to 10GB.

The catch is that Commercial doesn’t include exports or AI tools. So it’s primarily about capturing a scene, analyzing it, and sharing the resulting model.

Pro adds the professional deliverables

Pro costs $49.99 per model monthly or $39.99 per model with annual billing. It bumps storage to one year while keeping the 8K processing and 0.5-inch accuracy.

More importantly, this is where SkyeBrowse starts adding tools aimed at turning models into professional deliverables.

Pro includes exports, AI Floor Plans, AI Site Plans, topographic maps, Line of Sight, Sun & Shadow analysis, custom 3D model imports, and more. Users also get custom white labeling, allowing their organization’s logo to appear alongside SkyeBrowse branding on shared and public model pages.

The plan supports the same five-user limit and three videos per model as Commercial.

Public safety gets the full toolkit

The Public Safety & Enterprise tier is considerably more specialized. It costs $199 per model per year and includes every SkyeBrowse feature.

Processing jumps to 16K Ultra, accuracy improves to 0.1 inch, and storage is guaranteed for five years. Organizations can also have unlimited users, with up to 10 videos per model and 100GB per video.

The tier adds features such as CJIS compliance, chain of custody, Axon Evidence.com integration, AI Moving Object Removal, factual diagrams, sketch drawing, Case Gallery, public safety icons, and slope and profile analysis.

That makes the tier particularly relevant to agencies documenting crashes, crime scenes, and fire scenes, as well as teams handling tactical planning and other evidence-heavy workflows. Interestingly, the five-year storage guarantee continues even if the subscription isn’t renewed.

A few useful extras

SkyeBrowse is also making it easier to work with existing models. Pro and Public Safety & Enterprise users can import GLB or STL files and position, rotate, and scale them inside a captured scene, creating up to three composite layers.

Public Safety & Enterprise users and existing Premium subscribers can attach multiple images to a single Case Gallery annotation, keeping supporting photos tied to the exact location they document.

Users can also upgrade eligible models between tiers without starting from scratch. Commercial and Pro subscriptions offer monthly or annual billing, with annual plans providing a 20% savings.

Existing Lite, Premium Starter, and Premium subscribers aren’t being forced onto the new structure. Those plans are closed to new signups, but existing customers retain their current plans and pricing as long as they remain subscribed.

Finally, SkyeBrowse has added Microsoft sign-in alongside Google and traditional email/password access.

The new plans and features are now available through SkyeBrowse, giving teams a more granular way to match their mapping workflow with the tools, storage, and processing quality they actually need.
