How much does SkyeBrowse cost? You can start for $0, your first full Commercial model costs $5, and after that you pay per model: $24.99 for a Commercial model, $49.99 for a Pro model, or $199 for a Public Safety & Enterprise model billed annually. SkyeBrowse uses videogrammetry, which builds a measurable 3D model from the frames of a single continuous video, so the price you pay tracks the models you finish, and adding people to your team costs nothing. This guide walks through every plan, what each one includes, and how agencies and businesses usually budget for it.

How much does SkyeBrowse cost per model?
SkyeBrowse charges per final processed model. A Commercial model is $24.99 and stays available for 3 months, a Pro model is $49.99 and stays available for a year, and a Public Safety & Enterprise model is $199 per year with 5-year guaranteed storage. Viewing, measuring, sharing, and adding users never use up a model.
Here's the full lineup as listed on the SkyeBrowse pricing page:
| Plan | Price | Storage | Processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freemium | Free | 30-day archive | Basic resolution |
| Commercial model | $24.99 ($19.99 billed annually) | 3 months | 8K, 0.5 inch accuracy |
| Pro model | $49.99 ($39.99 billed annually) | 1 year | 8K, 0.5 inch accuracy |
| Public Safety & Enterprise | $199 per model, billed annually | 5 years guaranteed | 16K Ultra, 0.1 inch accuracy |
Commercial subscriptions include up to 5 users, and Public Safety & Enterprise includes unlimited users.
A model only counts when SkyeBrowse finishes processing it. If processing fails, the model goes straight back to your balance. You can also delete a paid model within 24 hours of upload to get it back while your subscription is active and not scheduled to cancel. Unused models roll over for as long as you stay subscribed, with no 12-month expiration cap.
Is SkyeBrowse free to use?
Yes. Freemium is free and includes unlimited uploads, 2 concurrent models, a 30-day archive, and basic-resolution processing with the Draw, Distance, Annotate, and Image Walkthroughs tools. It doesn't include exports. Freemium organizations that have never had a paid plan can buy their first full Commercial model for $5.
Freemium is the easiest way to see what your own footage produces. Create a free account, fly a short orbit over a building or walk a scene with your phone, and upload the .MP4 or .MOV file. Each upload can be up to 2GB on Freemium.
The $5 first Commercial model offer is where most people see the full product. For one model you get every Commercial tool, every export, 8K processing, and 90 days of storage. It applies to the next model you create after buying it. You can also start it from the Upgrade chip on a model you already processed on Freemium, and SkyeBrowse rebuilds that model at full resolution. It's limited to one per organization.
What's the difference between a Commercial model and a Pro model?
Both use 8K processing with 0.5 inch accuracy and support up to 3 videos per model at 10GB each. A Commercial model covers 3 months of viewing, measuring, and sharing with no exports or AI tools. A Pro model adds a year of storage, exports, AI Floor Plan, AI Site Plan, Line of Sight, Sun & Shadow, topographic maps, and custom white labeling.
Pick Commercial when the job ends once the client has seen the model and the measurements, like a quick roof check or a progress snapshot. Pick Pro when someone needs files: Pro exports LAZ point clouds (a compressed file of measured 3D points), GLB, OBJ, and USDZ meshes, GeoTIFF orthomosaics (a stitched, distortion-corrected top-down map image with location data), and CAD when available, so the model can move into GIS, BIM, or design software. Pro also puts your organization's logo next to the SkyeBrowse logo on shared and public model pages once you upload it in Organization settings.
You don't have to commit to one tier for every job. Each Commercial subscription can hold both model types, and a single Commercial model can be upgraded to Pro later for a $25.00 one-time difference. If you sell mapping work under the FAA's Part 107 rules for commercial drone operators, that flexibility lets you price each deliverable to what the client actually needs.

How much does SkyeBrowse cost for police and fire agencies?
Public Safety & Enterprise costs $199 per model per year, starting at a single model. Example packages run from 5 models for $995 a year to 100 models for $19,900 a year, and agencies with heavy caseloads can request an unlimited annual plan starting at $9,999. Every user in the agency is included.
This tier is built for evidence. It adds 16K Ultra processing with 0.1 inch accuracy, up to 10 videos per model at 100GB each, AI Moving Object Removal, enhanced interior mapping, factual diagrams, sketch drawing, Case Gallery, Icons, slope and profile analysis, and 5-year guaranteed storage. It's also the only current tier with full CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) compliance and chain of custody, which matters for any agency handling data covered by the FBI CJIS Security Policy.
Example annual packages, customizable to any number of models:
- 5 models: $995
- 10 models: $1,990
- 30 models: $5,970
- 50 models: $9,950, with a free Insta360 X5 camera on quotes issued through December 31, 2026 and ordered within 60 days of the quote
- 100 models: $19,900, with training for 5 people and 2 free Insta360 cameras
A 3-year package takes 5% off any model count. In-person POST instructor training runs $1,999 per student, and EDU and 501(c)(3) nonprofit pricing is complimentary on request. Government purchase orders are often accepted, and the W-9 and sole source letter are posted on the quote info page. For a tailored number, request a quote. Agencies that want to test first can apply for the Pilot Program, which gives about two weeks of Public Safety & Enterprise access.
Does annual billing or pay as you go change the price?
Annual billing takes 20% off the per-model price, so Commercial models drop to $19.99 and Pro models to $39.99, and the full year of models arrives up front. Pay as you go keeps uploads moving when your balance hits zero by charging your card for one model at upload time. It charges the same per-model price whether you bill monthly or annually.
Here's how the math works for a small team that needs 2 Pro models a month. Billed annually, that's $959.76 for 24 models. The same 24 models on monthly billing cost $1,199.76 over a year. Accounts without an active subscription can still pay as they go at $24.99 for each 3-month Commercial model.
A few other details keep costs predictable:
- Practice models: Unlimited on active Commercial and Public Safety & Enterprise subscriptions. They're deleted after a month unless you keep one by applying a model to it, and they can't be exported.
- Pausing: Monthly Commercial plans can pause for 1 to 3 months from the Billing page with no charges.
- Changing your plan: Tier, billing period, and models per month (1 to 100) all change from one Update plan dialog. Increases apply right away with a prorated charge, and decreases wait until the end of the billing period.
- Developers: The Public API is $20 per model, sold in credits with a 5-credit minimum.
What happened to Lite? It's closed to new signups, and Commercial replaced it for new customers. Existing Lite subscribers keep their plan and pricing for as long as they stay subscribed.

FAQ
Is SkyeBrowse free?
Yes. The Freemium plan costs nothing and includes unlimited uploads, 2 concurrent models, a 30-day archive, basic resolution, and the Draw, Distance, Annotate, and Image Walkthroughs tools. Freemium has no exports. Freemium organizations that have never paid can get their first full Commercial model for $5. Start at app.skyebrowse.com.
Does SkyeBrowse charge per user?
No. SkyeBrowse prices by final processed model. Commercial includes up to 5 users and Public Safety & Enterprise includes unlimited users, so adding investigators, pilots, or analysts never adds a seat fee.
Do failed or practice models cost anything?
No. A failed model returns to your balance automatically. Practice models are unlimited on active Commercial and Public Safety & Enterprise subscriptions, are deleted after a month, and can be kept as regular models later by applying a model to them.
Can I upgrade a single model instead of my whole plan?
Yes. A Commercial model can be upgraded to Pro for $25.00, a Pro model to Public Safety & Enterprise for $149.01, and a Commercial model straight to Public Safety & Enterprise for $174.01. If you already hold a model of the higher tier, that model is used instead of a charge. Compare every tool side by side on the pricing page.
