PlantPredict or Scanifly?

Verified against the vendor’s own pages.
Pricing
These cannot be compared on a single number
PlantPredict is priced on an unrecorded basis and Scanifly is priced quote-only. These are different pricing models, so a single side-by-side figure would be misleading. Each is shown as its vendor states it.

Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider PlantPredict if…
- you work at utility scale
For utility-scale energy modellers and IEs who want a browser tool with unlimited projects, a documented algorithm set their lender's IE can audit, and automation. **Not for residential or C&I rooftop sales work, not for** teams that need layout-to-construction CAD (Design Pro is GIS-based, not an AutoCAD product), and not for anyone taking the site's structured data at face value — its schema publishes a price that its own pricing page contradicts.
Full PlantPredict profileConsider Scanifly if…
- your team works from phones in the field
- AI-assisted workflows matter to you
- your work is mostly residential
US residential and small-commercial contractors whose real cost is revisions, change orders and finance rejections, and who are willing to put a drone in every surveyor's van. It is not for utility-scale work, not for anyone who cannot or will not fly drones on site (the drone half is the differentiator; without it this is an ordinary remote design tool), and not for a buyer who needs a price before a sales call — **Scanifly publishes no pricing at all**.
