By flying sites, gathering volumetric data, and putting a price point on these stockpiles, he’s creating a visual, defensible record of proof of work done. To integrate drone technology into your organization, Jaimie recommends emphasizing the scope and purpose of drone insights to decision-makers.

For starters, household internet speeds have increased considerably, making it possible for much of the world’s computing to move to the cloud. Drone mapping is no exception. Now, instead of gathering data, returning to a desktop computer and going through the laborious process of stitching a map locally, a farmer can take his tablet or smartphone, fly 160-acres on just one battery, and upload the imagery to the cloud for processing once it lands.

To be fair, this wasn’t for lack of trying on the part of the commercial drone industry. But for all intents and purposes, drone technology was in its infancy.":1,"#As an industry, we’re working hard to better understand remote sensing and how we can fully integrate machine learning analytics with drone data to deliver insights that are meaningful to farmers.

For starters, five years ago a fixed wing drone with a high-definition camera, capable of flying midrange distances, cost between $10–30K. The computer hardware and stitching software required to process drone maps cost several thousand more.

For starters, user-friendly mapping solutions like DroneDeploy weren’t yet on the market, so a farmer had to possess a good deal of technical knowledge just to stitch a map of his fields. All of this had to be done locally, as opposed to in the cloud — requiring a powerful desktop pc — and it took upwards of two days just to process a map. When you’re talking about a disease that’s killing your crops, two days might as well be a lifetime.":1,"#Fast forward to August 2017. Today, agriculture is one of the fastest growing markets for the commercial drone industry. Thousands of DroneDeploy users create ag-focused drone maps and models on a regular basis.

And what can we expect from drones in agriculture over the next five years?":1,"#Over the past several years, advances in technology have made the price of drone hardware far more accessible to the average agriculture professional. Quadcopters are easier to produce, motors are more efficient, and battery life has increased. With DJI leading the way, a farmer can purchase a mapping drone for between one and three-thousand dollars, lowering the barrier of entry and making the risk of investing in drones far more palatable.":1,"#The Early Days of Drones in Agriculture: High Price Tags and Low Usability":1,"#Here at DroneDeploy, we usually consider ourselves future-focused, but today we’re dialing the clock back a few years.

Says Andrew, “The maps aren’t as important as highlighting the return-on-investment, the cost to solve the problems detected.”":1,"#Pricing Per Acre":1,"#When it comes to pricing drone services, Justin Moore of Airborne Aerial Photography points out that there are many variables at play. “It’s so localized and so different based on your market and based on so many other factors,” says Justin. There is no magic number, and this can be frustrating for someone just starting out. But the good news is, there is a general method to the madness. Most drone businesses we spoke to said that they begin with a per-hour rate that will allow them to remain profitable and then adjust that rate up or down depending on a number of elements. After they have gotten a good sense of pricing, value delivered, and the market in general, most providers move to a project rate. Some variables that affect rates include:":1,"#All of the factors listed above are simply a framework to help guide drone service providers toward profitability. Justin Moore of Aerial Airborne Photography reminds new businesses that, as basic as it sounds, it’s also important to remember to accommodate your time into your pricing model. This includes everything — from travel, to onsite time, to the time it takes to process the data and prepare the deliverables. Those small bits of extra time spent on tasks can be easy to overlook, but if you don’t accommodate for them, says Justin, “you’ll look at your price and how much time you spent on it, and you might be working for less than minimum wage.”":1,"#Total Time Spent":1,"#“I have calculated rates dependent upon area size. These rates take into account the equipment that is required to fly, the man hours spent on all the prep work and actual flight ops, and processing time for both man hours and electricity.”":1,"#Hourly Rates Based on Liability Insurance Coverage":1,"#Compared to the overview data provided by Airstoc, we found that on average drone service providers specializing in mapping are able to charge higher rates.":1,"#While some amount of travel is just a part of doing business, there is a point at which excess mileage and travel time should be factored into pricing. Based on the data we looked at, pilots that serve a larger area tend to charge higher hourly rates to accommodate for the extra time spent on the road. As an example, Phil Myers of Toledo Aerial Media, who provides drone mapping services for clients like the planning commission of a local Metropark, says he charges for travel if the location is in excess of an hour drive.":1,"#Hourly Pricing Rates for Commercial Drone Pilots":1,"#Justin suggests doing some “time on task” work, tracking how long it takes you to perform various aspects of your business so you can get a solid sense of how long it takes to produce a deliverable from start to finish. And don’t forget to plan for the unexpected. “If a reshoot or weather delay occurs,” cautions Justin, “will the job still be profitable?”":1,"#Deliverables and quality: What maps or models do you provide your clients?":1,"#The same service provider also added that he often gives per-acre discounts for large, single-area projects, because the utilization and efficiency goes up. However, this discount only applies for continuous sections of land, not in cases where the total area mapped is spread out into smaller, disconnected patches.":1,"#Phil Myers of Toledo Aerial Media says his standard deliverables are an orthomosaic map generated in DroneDeploy and that same map in JPEG form. He then charges additional fees for NDVI and thermal mapping. Likewise, many drone service providers charge extra for providing 3D models that they produce in DroneDeploy, as well as for further processing the data using software like ArcGIS.":1,"#So what do all of these considerations mean in the real world of drone mapping? Here’s what the drone mapping providers we spoke to had to say about the finer points of pricing:":1,"#The data shows that the industry serviced plays a role in determining the hourly rate.":1,"#Market Value and Return-on-Investment for Clients":1,"#One drone service provider who spoke with us and preferred not to be named, spent six years working as an engineer in the drone industry in Holland before becoming a UAS consultant, applies a travel surcharge to jobs outside a twenty-five-kilometer radius from his business headquarters. He waives this fee if the client arranges travel, such as a flight and satisfactory board and lodging.":1,"#Industry: What industry do you work with, and what are the price points in that industry?":1,"#The data shows that hourly rates tend to increase with the distance service providers must travel in order to serve customers.":1,"#Hourly Rates Based on Travel Area":1,"#All of this being said, there may be situations in which taking a job is still worth your time, even if it will not be profitable in monetary terms. Justin Moore, who maps commercially for the real estate development sector and has also done pro bono work for several environmental conservation projects, finds great value in taking pro bono work because it allows him to be, as he puts it, a “drone ambassador,” advancing the reputation of the drone community. Says Justin, “If there’s no local understanding about what drones can do for the community, your business model is immediately threatened.”":1,"#It is important to point out that some drone service providers, especially those working in the agricultural industry, find it is more straightforward to set prices on a per-acre basis, as opposed to per-hour. After an initial setup fee, Phil Myers charges per acre and adjusts that rate based on other project specifications, such as the deliverables requested by the client. Another commercial pilot serving the agriculture area who asked to not be named took a similar approach:":1,"#As we have written about elsewhere, liability insurance is a must-have for drone service providers. A typical insurance policy provides one million dollars of coverage. However, certain industries, such as mining, require drone pilots to carry larger policies, and pilots typically charge higher hourly rates to offset this increased cost. Edward Schmalfeld of Dragonfly AeroSolutions points out that in the landfill industry, where he does a large portion of his drone mapping work, subcontractors are often required to carry as much as a $4 million umbrella liability policy. This is one factor that comes into play when he sets his prices.":1,"#Market value and ROI: What problems do your services solve and how much is that worth to your clients?":1,"#Pricing-per-acre: For your industry, is it better to charge per-acre instead of per-hour?":1,"#Average Hourly Rate by Industry":1,"#Insurance Coverage and Industry Type":1,"#Typical Insurance Coverage for a DSP":1,"#Pricing Data":1,"#Median Hourly Rates by Certification":1,"#Andrew Cutter, who has an IT background and now maps for the agriculture industry, also takes the current market value for a particular crop into consideration when he sets the price for each particular job. “The [per-acre] rate is determined by crop,” he says. “I have to factor in what a bushel of corn or soybean is bringing in currently.” In other words, how much are his services worth to a client? If a farmer wants Andrew to provide a crop health map of his fields so that he can detect a pest infestation, that map has the potential to save the farmer a large amount of money, especially if it helps him catch an infestation early. The higher the price of the crop, the higher the farmer’s return-on-investment for purchasing those mapping services.":1,"#But taking pro bono work has also been good for Justin’s bottom line. Not only has it given him the chance to gain experience, but it has also attracted new, paying business. In fact, one of his biggest real estate development clients came through word-of-mouth referral from a pro bono job.":1,"#Level of expertise: Do you have a special license or certification such as a professional engineer or licensed surveyor?":1,"#As promised, here is the data we uncovered about how commercial drone pilots are pricing various services. First, we took a look at Airstoc’s survey of 700 US-based commercial drone pilots:":1,"#The Benefits of Pro Bono Projects":1,"#At the end of the day, deliverables are what matter most to a client, and pricing reflects this. Because of the level of data they are able to give to their clients, drone pilots who provide mapping services already charge an average of $23 more per hour than regular commercial drone pilots. Within those mapping services, price point is further affected by the specific deliverables a client requests, as well as the quality of those deliverables.":1,"#Insurance coverage: Do your clients require you to carry a large liability policy?":1,"#Travel surcharges: Is a job outside of your regular service area?":1,"#Service providers operating with a higher amount of liability coverage are likely working in industries or within use cases where they are able to charge more for their services due to market demand, specialization and risk of damage.":1,"#By all accounts, the commercial drone industry is booming. When Part 107 licensing became available in August of 2016, the FAA certified 12,000 remote pilots in the first three weeks alone. By the time the year came to a close, this number had reached 23,000, and the total number of drones registered with the FAA was at 670,000 — twice the number of registered manned aircraft. If you are a new drone service provider trying to figure out your place in this landscape, the question of pricing is likely top of mind.":1,"#Hourly Pricing Races for Commercial Drone Pilots Data provided by AirStoc, www.airstoc.com":1,"#Justin Moore of Airborne Aerial Photography points out that pricing should reflect not only the deliverables a drone business provides, but also the quality of those deliverables. Pricing, he says, should reflect your expertise, such as photography experience that will help you do post-processing work on your images or an engineering background that allows you to further analyze the data you provide. This is also evidenced by the fact that hourly rates tend to vary based on additional certifications held by drone service providers, as you can see in the pricing data we’ve included at the end of this article.":1,"#Airstoc’s survey gives a great overview of the industry as a whole, but we also wanted to dig into pricing specifically as it applies to mapping.
