The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Leica Geosystems Mining the solutions depend on buying Leica measurement hardware and sensors, including LiDAR and airborne laser scanning units, rather than software alone; Minviro no price, plan or licensing term is published anywhere on the site, and there is no pricing link in the navigation; the only routes are a demo booking form and a contact form
  • They diverge on capability: Leica Geosystems Mining covers GNSS positioning, Minviro covers Environmental assessment.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
