Which might suit you
Framed as requirements, not a verdict. Both descriptions come from the same data.
Consider 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**.

Full Scanifly profileConsider Solargis Evaluate if…
- you need a price you can plan against before talking to sales
- you work at utility scale
For utility-scale developers, engineers and IEs who are already buying Solargis data and want the design and simulation layer on top of it, with reports investors accept. Not for residential or rooftop sales work, not for anyone needing CAD/construction deliverables, and not for small teams — the published entry subscription is €12,000 and the project allowance is 60 "Early Stage" projects.
