Planet Labs plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Explorer | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Enterprise | Free | 3 | +$0/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Explorer
FreeThe entry tier. It covers limited imagery, basic tools, entry tier.
Enterprise

Platform

People bring Planet Labs in for daily satellite imagery monitoring of a defined area of interest, detecting change in land use, agriculture and infrastructure over time, feeding satellite imagery into analytics and machine learning pipelines. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Planet Labs are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Planet Labs
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and Free, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Planet Labs against the tools that do have one before committing.
Planet Labs runs on web, api, and is published by Planet Labs PBC of San Francisco, California. The full record is on the Planet Labs review.
Planet Labs pricing questions

- Does Planet Labs have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Planet Labs is listed as quote. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

- Enterprise costs Free against Free, and adds full archive, api access, custom analytics.

In practice it is brought in for daily satellite imagery monitoring of a defined area of interest, detecting change in land use, agriculture and infrastructure over time, feeding satellite imagery into analytics and machine learning pipelines.
- Does Planet Labs charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Planet Labs prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
