How much does PIX4Dcatch cost?
PIX4Dcatch Pro costs $1,590 a year on the yearly plan, which Pix4D shows with a $318 saving. The monthly and three-year options exist, but the page does not print their amounts, so ask for the number before you commit. The cloud bundle at $6,080 a year is nearly four times the Pro price, so check whether you need cloud processing at all or only the capture app.
Pix4D lets you try the app for free. The page gives no terms for the trial, so run it on an area you already measured and compare the numbers.
Does the PIX4Dcatch price include RTK?
No. RTK scanning kits are sold separately and listed as price upon request, and Pix4D's support pages say the NTRIP correction service is not included in the subscription. Budget for the receiver and a correction subscription on top of the license if you need centimeter accuracy.
The costs that are not on the PIX4Dcatch price page
The license is the line everyone compares. For a survey team it is rarely the biggest line. Three questions decide the total.
Which hardware do you need? A phone alone gives a lower accuracy. An RTK receiver and a mount are extra, and their price is on request.
How do results reach the office? Processing and sharing draw on cloud credits. The Pro plan alone does not include the 2,500 credits that come with the $6,080 bundle.
How many people capture? Check whether a subscription covers one device or one user before you multiply it by your crew.
PIX4Dcatch vs DroneMapping over 3 years for a 3-person crew
| Cost line | PIX4Dcatch Pro, one per person | PIX4Dcatch Pro with PIX4Dcloud Pro | DroneMapping Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $4,770 | $6,080 | $1,488 |
| Three-year total | $14,310 | $18,240 | $4,464 |
| Where data is captured | On the ground, phone or kit | On the ground, phone or kit | From the air, any mapping drone |
| Terrain, volumes and cut and fill | Volume computation | Volume computation and comparison | Surfaces, contours, stockpile and cut and fill reports |
The Pro line assumes one subscription per person, which Pix4D's page does not confirm. The cloud bundle is a single price, so its three-year figure is three times $6,080. These tools do different jobs: PIX4Dcatch is for scanning facades, trenches and interiors up close, while a drone covers acres. Many firms use both, and the question is whether a cloud platform for the drone side costs $1,488 or $4,490 and more.
When the PIX4Dcatch price is worth paying
PIX4Dcatch is good value when you scan trenches, utilities, facades or small areas up close, when RTK on a phone replaces a total station for as-builts, and when one person does the capturing.
It is poor value when the work is large open ground such as a quarry, a subdivision or a stockpile yard. A drone covers that in one flight, and DroneMapping Team gives your whole office a map, surfaces and volumes from the same photos. Pick the drone platform first if your sites are measured in acres, then add a scanner only if you have close-range work. When the as-built scans end up in a closeout package, a tool that builds the package from the specs, such as construction submittal software, handles the paperwork around them.
Does PIX4Dcatch replace a drone?
No. A phone or handheld kit captures what you walk past, up to a few hundred feet per scan. A drone captures a whole site from above in minutes. For volumes of large piles and earthwork progress, use drone photos. For close detail such as utilities or a facade, use a scanner.
Is PIX4Dcatch cheaper than PIX4Dcloud?
Pro for PIX4Dcatch is $1,590 a year, and PIX4Dcloud Starter is $1,290 a year. They are different products: PIX4Dcatch captures and measures on site, and PIX4Dcloud processes and shares drone and ground data in the browser. See our PIX4Dcloud alternative page for credits and a full comparison.
