Sharing and earnings
Renting your pod to nearby demand, how the fee works, and why it is always your choice.
Renting your pod to nearby demand, how the fee works, and why it is always your choice.
Industry drone utilisation is low. Aircraft sit idle most of the time, and the cost of owning one is the same whether it flies once a week or ten times a day. Sharing exists to close that gap.
If you switch sharing on, SupaDrone offers your pod's idle capacity to Fly customers within its flight radius. SupaDrone handles all third-party demand: finding it, validating it, supervising the mission and delivering the result.
You are paid a fee for every mission flown from your pod. You earn on anyone who flies it.
Sharing is a switch, not a condition of ownership. You can keep a pod entirely private, turn sharing off at any time, and your own missions always take precedence over third-party demand.
This matters to the purchase decision. The pod should pay for itself on your own inspections. Third-party revenue is upside, and a Host who never enables sharing has not bought a worse product.
A Fly customer flying from your pod receives the data from their own mission. They do not receive your missions, your data or your site's records.
Their capture is theirs, subject to the same rules that govern yours. Nothing from your site is listed for licence unless you have separately opted in. See Listing in SupaVault and Rights and opt-in.
Earnings accrue per mission flown and are paid out to the account holding the pod. Fee rates and payout schedule are set out in your host agreement.
