What our users love about Birdi:
More affordable & flexible pricing options
We've decoupled subscription costs from processing, so you only pay for what you actually need. Don't need processing this month? No worries! On our Free plan, you won't pay a thing.

Request PAYG Processing when you need it
With our Pay as You Go (PAYG) Processing model, only pay for processing when you need it. Transform your data into a broad range of outputs such as:
- Orthophotos (.TIFF)
- Digital Elevation Models (DSM, DTM)
- Point Clouds (.LAS)
- Contours (.5m, 1m, 2m);
- 3D models and more
Share your missions with anyone for free
With a couple of clicks, you can share your missions with anyone for free by giving them guest, view-only access. Need to work on missions with others? Jump on our Growth plan, ideal for collaboration.


Stellar customer service
We love helping you get the most out of Birdi! From your free 15-min onboarding session with us when you sign up, to responding to any and all chat messages, to being there on email. Reach out to us!
Your own branded workspace
With a Plus or Growth plan, customize your Birdi workspace by adding your company's name and logo. You can even brand some of your emails, so sharing missions come from you instead of us.

Some ways DroneDeploy is different to us:
What our users say:
"Great platform. Easy to use and share ortho images quickly. Is great to be able to pay a small fee per project rather than having to commit to an expensive subscription like many alternatives."
"The Birdi platform is fast and responsive. As a small business, budgets are tight, but the Birdi platform is an investment that helps us demonstrate our work and engage with our clients."
"With the help of the Birdi platform, I've experienced a steady growth of my business. The fact that you can plan a mission, store media and manage your qualifications and equipment all on one platform is great."
"A centralised platform such as Birdi allows for streamlined access to a large pool of licensed and experienced drone pilots across NSW."
