Planet Insights Platform

Premium

Quote the Insights Platform pricing page, not a memory of an older Planet plan. On 16 Oct 2026 that page listed $1,100 a year for 7,000 monitoring credits a month, Professional at $5,500 a year for 40,000 credits a month, and Scale at $12,000 a year for 100,000 credits a month, with annual billing marked 17 percent below monthly. The signup page adds a 30-day trial with 3,000 credits and no credit card. The docs say monthly credits reset and do not roll over. Next-day and near-real-time scenes are not on the self-serve Flex card. Do not invent a per-scene dollar price from the credit table.

Planet's pricing page for the Insights Platform describes Insights Flex as self-serve access to monthly mosaics, archive PlanetScope that is 30 days old or older, and public Earth-observation data, without defining an area of interest up front. The same page prints three annual prices: $1,100 a year with 7,000 monitoring credits a month, Professional at $5,500 a year with 40,000 credits a month, and Scale at $12,000 a year with 100,000 credits a month. It says annual billing is 17 percent less than monthly. The credit examples on that page are about 200, 1,000, and 2,500 square kilometres a month of PlanetScope tile streaming, or about half of that if you order the data instead. A one square kilometre minimum is printed for PlanetScope scenes.

• Self-serve archive, sales for fresh. The pricing page keeps 30-day-and-older PlanetScope on Flex and sends next-day tasking to the sales team.
• Public collections in the same login. The same page and the signup page name Sentinel and Landsat beside Planet data.
• Credits, not a flat map. The docs define monitoring credits for ordering, streaming, processing, and storage, with a monthly reset.

1. 1

   Read the current Insights Platform pricing page before you quote a plan.

2. 2

   Use the 30-day trial only on an area you are allowed to study, and watch the 3,000-credit meter.

3. 3

   Record the sensing time and whether the scene was 30 days old or a newer product you bought separately.

4. 4

   Use Copernicus Browser when the question is a free Sentinel frame and you do not need PlanetScope.

• You need PlanetScope of a site and the scene can be 30 days old or older. Read the Insights Platform pricing page and pick the credit band before you draw the area. The page's examples, about 200, 1,000, or 2,500 square kilometres of streaming, are illustrations. Watch the meter on the account you are allowed to use. Record the sensing time. A frame from last month is not the ground today.
• The job is a free Sentinel look, not PlanetScope. Use Copernicus Browser. Planet said the old Sentinel Hub EO Browser would close on 20 March 2026 and pointed public Sentinel viewing at that browser. Do not spend monitoring credits to answer a question the public viewer already shows. If you still need Planet's basemap beside the Sentinel frame, say which login produced which file.
• A colleague quotes a per-scene dollar price that is not on the pricing page. Open the page again. The self-serve cards on 16 Oct 2026 were $1,100, $5,500, and $12,000 a year, with monthly credits that the docs say do not roll over. Next-day and near-real-time scenes were a sales conversation. Write the plan name and the date. Do not convert the credit table into a dollar price the page did not print.
