Not all ordering systems work the same
If you’ve used the Planet Tasking Dashboard, you may be wondering how SkyFi compares. Both platforms let you task satellites. However, the process, pricing, and user experience differ.
SkyFi is built for quick, contract-free access to Earth imagery. It supports individual users, small teams, and larger organizations.
You can order your first image now at app.skyfi.com.
No Contracts, No Credit System
SkyFi works like a typical e-commerce platform. Users select an area, sensor, and resolution, view the price, and check out, without needing subscriptions, point systems, or annual minimums.
This approach gives flexibility to those needing only a few images or running smaller projects. Pricing and ordering can be completed in under five minutes.
Simpler Workflow, Faster Results
The Planet dashboard is designed for enterprise-scale tasking. It works well for organizations with ongoing programs and dedicated teams. In contrast, SkyFi focuses on speed and ease of use for one-off or ad hoc requests.
For example, if you want to order a single image, there’s no need to:
- Schedule a call
- Request a quote
- Manage annual license terms
Instead, SkyFi allows you to task an image with no prior setup. This simplifies access for users outside of procurement or GIS departments.
You can try the self-service interface now at app.skyfi.com.
Same Satellites, Different Experience
SkyFi includes access to SkySat and other constellations, many of the same sources available through Planet. What sets it apart is the ordering flow and platform design.
While Planet’s dashboard supports high-volume, integrated workflows, SkyFi is suited for:
- Single image orders
- Recurring tasking
- Archive searches
- SAR and multi-sensor needs
Everything can be managed from a single screen, including sensor selection, availability previews, and tasking setup.
Clear Pricing Up Front
SkyFi provides instant pricing based on your inputs. There’s no need to contact sales or wait for quotes. The minimum order size is 25 square kilometers, and pricing begins at $200.
Flexible Options for Any Workflow
Whether you need one image or a repeat schedule, SkyFi adapts to your needs. It supports short-term tasks and scalable projects without lengthy onboarding.
You can task your first image today, no contract or setup required at app.skyfi.com.
