The short version

  • Only Pix4D has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AMOS pricing is by quote only, with no rate, minimum or named cost driver published; the routes to a price are ordering a brochure or booking a live demo through a contact form; Pix4D split into separate products by job, so PIX4Dreact at $55 a month, PIX4Dfields at $111, PIX4Dmatic at $125 and PIX4Dmapper at $333 are different purchases rather than tiers
  • They diverge on capability: AMOS covers Maintenance planning, Pix4D covers Photogrammetry.
