Today's question is about drone mapping software. When and why should you choose Pix4D over DroneDeploy? Are there any other good alternatives?

Our caller, Joe is using DroneDeploy for his construction management needs. He is really happy with the results, and is wondering why we keep on recommending Pix4D. What are the pros and cons of each mapping software? It is true that DroneDeploy has better client delivery. But, can you map complex mapping jobs using DroneDeploy?

We do a DEEP DIVE into this topic and and list the pros and cons of Pix4D and DroneDeploy. We also discuss if there are any other good alternatives. Towards the end, Paul suggests a great HACK for Pix4D users. Thanks to Joe for the great question. Fly Safe!
