And what about WebODM - OpenDroneMap ?

[@m3528i]

Just returned from the Drone U Seattle mapping class. Pix4d is some powerful software and until computing changes significantly, it’s the way to go. I’d highly recommend the class if you’re serious and intend to make money with measurements or volumes. The learning curve and price could dissuade some without direction.

What about precisionhawk precisionmapper?

[@321murf123]

Would you know if PhotoScan Standard $179 is an unlimited license?

[@arieldavidpalma6781]

I would like the answer to this question as well

[@photony]

It says "perpetual license" on their website.

[@titusnixon]

Is 2 weeks really enough time for somebody to learn how to use it and then actually use it? I'm under the impression that this is a lot more complicated than something like Photoshop and very few people can become proficient with Photoshop in 2 weeks. Really the only way to do it would be to limit yourself to one specific kind of thing you wanted to learn and then have somebody help you along with all the other Learning Materials you could find. And Pix4d is probably worse, right?
