How can we help?

Three simple steps: 1) Post your project (free) or browse pilots & services directly, 2) Compare quotes, profiles and ratings, then chat with the pilot you like, and 3) Confirm the booking — we generate a free legally-binding agreement and you pay securely through escrow. You only release the payment once you approve the deliverables.

Pilots set their own rates, so pricing depends on the service, location, equipment and duration. Aerial photography and videography are typically charged per project or per day; surveys and mapping by area. Post a requirement to receive free, competitive quotes — or browse services with upfront day rates.

Aerial photography & videography, weddings & events, real estate and marketing, drone surveys & mapping (GIS/topographic), construction progress monitoring, infrastructure and solar/wind inspections, agriculture spraying and crop monitoring, and more. You can also post a custom requirement for anything aerial.

Client payments are held in escrow and released to you once the client approves the deliverables. Delivery and approval timelines are defined in the service agreement signed before work begins.

You are responsible for holding the licences and permissions required to operate commercially in your country and region (for example DGCA approval in India, or an FAA Part 107 certificate in the US). Clients value verified, licensed pilots — add your certifications to your profile.
