Notes

About. DroneDeploy's Flight Services, also called Data on Demand, send a Part 107-certified pilot (via partners outside the US) to fly the maps, photos, videos or panoramas you plan in a DroneDeploy project. The data is uploaded to your project. Typical turnaround is about a week in the US and 1–6 weeks elsewhere. Teams and Enterprise customers only; priced per flight minute from a prepaid flight bank.

Price. No public rates. 'All Data on Demand mission pricing is based on flight time in Mavic 3 Enterprise minutes.' Credits are bought in a flight bank with an expiration date. Needs a Teams or Enterprise subscription; a quote is confirmed on a scoping call.

Coverage. The help center lists 17 countries with turnaround estimates and says operations are provided 'in many places across the globe through partners', some easier to fly than others. Countries outside the list are not ruled out but not stated.

Timing. 'The typical turnaround time for orders located in the United States is 1 week'; other countries 1–2, 2–4 or 4–6 weeks (help.dronedeploy.com, Data on Demand).

Licence. The Master Services Agreement (updated 2026-02-20) says the customer owns all Customer Content, defined to include content the customer 'collects or generates in its use of the Services' and 'data gathered by a Robot, camera or other User device'. It does not mention Flight Services, Data on Demand or pilots, so whether flown deliverables count as Customer Content is not stated. DroneDeploy takes a licence to Customer Content only as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, improve and update its products, to prevent or address service issues, as required by law, as permitted by its Privacy Policy, or as the customer permits in writing. The MSA bars reselling the Service but says nothing about reselling data. AI or ML training is not mentioned.
