True Cost Per Flight Hour
Most drone pricing dies here: quoting jobs without knowing what an hour in the air actually costs. Put in your real numbers - the defaults are a typical inspection setup - and see where the money goes.
Your numbers
Most operators plan 800-1,200
Usually 0.3-0.5
Processing, editing, ops
What you'd pay someone you trust
Travel, setup, processing - usually 2-3
True cost per flight hour
Every number computed in plain arithmetic on this page - nothing hidden, no email required. Labor is almost always the line people underprice: one flight hour costs two to three work hours.
The honest ceiling
This is one number for one service. A price you can defend needs the whole model: utilization rate, travel, rework allowance, payment fees, packaging, and a floor you won't cross. That model - built on your numbers, with a gate that won't let you price below your floor - is Level 4 of the program. The complimentary Discovery Flight is where it starts.
