The short version
- Each has a real cost: Joblogic the published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.; Percepto aIM is built for Percepto aircraft and base stations, so buying the software is buying the fleet, and a site that already owns DJI or other drones cannot bring them into it.
- They diverge on capability: Joblogic covers PPM contract scheduling, Percepto covers Drone-in-a-box base station.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Joblogic
- The published £45 per user per month covers only the Standard tier, and the planned maintenance contracts most buyers come for sit on Premium, which is quote only, so the advertised price is not the price a maintenance contractor pays.
- Users are counted as office staff, engineers and managers alike, so a business with many part-time or seasonal engineers pays full seats for people who log a handful of jobs a month.
- The entry price is billed annually, so there is no low-commitment monthly option to trial the product properly at scale.
- Compliance certificates, terminology and accounting integrations are written for the UK and Ireland, which makes the product a poor fit outside those markets despite being sold internationally.
- The mobile app carries a lot of configurable form logic, and engineers on older devices report slow loading and sync on jobs with large certificate sets, which costs time on site.
Percepto
- AIM is built for Percepto aircraft and base stations, so buying the software is buying the fleet, and a site that already owns DJI or other drones cannot bring them into it.
- Everything depends on beyond-visual-line-of-sight regulatory approval, which is strong in the United States and patchy elsewhere, so a European or Asian site may face a materially different operating envelope for the same money.
- Pricing is a per-site annual programme covering hardware, software and support, with no published rates, so comparing it against hiring an inspection contractor requires a full proposal.
- The base station is fixed infrastructure requiring power, connectivity and a site survey, which means a linear asset such as a pipeline needs several installations rather than one system.
- Weather, wind limits and airspace restrictions still ground flights, so the inspection schedule an operator plans around is a best case, and manual fallback procedures still have to exist.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Joblogic: Do I need the Premium plan?
If you run planned maintenance contracts, purchase orders or timesheets, yes. Standard handles reactive jobs, quotes and invoices only.
Percepto: Can I use Percepto AIM with drones I already own?
No. The system is designed around Percepto's own aircraft and base station.
Joblogic: Are subcontractors charged as users?
No. Joblogic counts office staff, engineers and managers as users; customers and subcontractors are not counted as seats.
Percepto: Do I need a pilot on site?
Not in jurisdictions where beyond-visual-line-of-sight operation is approved. Confirm the approval position for your country before committing.
Joblogic: Does it work offline?
Yes, the engineer app completes jobs, forms and signatures without signal and syncs later, which matters in plant rooms and basements.
Percepto: What does it cost?
Percepto does not publish pricing. Expect an annual per-site programme covering hardware, the AIM subscription and support.
Joblogic: Can it issue gas and electrical certificates?
Yes, statutory UK certificate templates are built in, and the top tier adds a form builder for your own documents.
Percepto: Can it detect gas leaks?
Yes, with an optical gas imaging payload, which is one of the main reasons oil and gas operators buy it.
