What does it cost to join?
Listing your drone services is free. Up Sonder charges a 5% Provider Service Fee on each booking, so you keep 95% of your booking earnings.
Can I set my own rates?
Yes. You set your service pricing and travel boundaries. Up Sonder offers pricing guidance, but the final decision is yours.
How do payments work?
Up Sonder manages client payments and processes client fees before services begin. Pilot payments are deposited directly into your account two business days after project completion.
What kinds of drone work can I offer?
Showcase your aerial photography and drone video services, including real estate imagery and property footage. Describe your equipment and specialties so clients can understand which projects are a good fit.
Are drone pilot jobs guaranteed?
No. Creating a listing does not guarantee bookings or a particular level of earnings. Opportunities depend on client demand, your location, your services, and the needs of each project.
What makes a strong pilot listing?
Make your services, equipment, rates, and travel area clear. Add current, professional photo and video samples that show your strengths, then share your listing with your network so clients can see what you offer.
