How it works

A job, from the offer to the payout

We find the work, agree the scope and the price, and hand you a job that is already settled. You fly it and upload. Everything either side of that is ours.

What happens on a job

Six steps, and the app walks you through each one.

  1. 01

    An offer arrives

    Push and text

    The service, the locality, the date and what it pays, before you decide. The street address and the customer's name unlock when you accept.

  2. 02

    You accept it

    First to accept

    Offers go to several pilots at once and the first to accept gets the job. Decline and it simply moves on without you.

  3. 03

    You check in on site

    Shoot day

    Confirming your arrival tells the customer you are there and starts the on-site clock. Access notes and the site contact are on the job.

  4. 04

    You run the preflight and shoot the list

    Four checks

    Airspace, weather, aircraft and site. Then the shot list, group by group. A group nobody could capture takes a reason, not an excuse box.

  5. 05

    You hand the files over

    Within 24 hours

    Upload, and the job goes to review. PhotoDrone checks the files, deals with the customer, and asks you only if something is missing.

  6. 06

    You get paid

    7 days after approval

    70% of the services subtotal, plus travel past your radius in full. No invoice to send and nobody to chase.
