Pricing rules
Billing and payment
Verified B2B customers receive one EUR invoice after every calendar month with nonzero charges.
Standard billing
Monthly invoicing for verified businesses
A straightforward calendar-month flow keeps imagery, plan fees, and payment timing easy to follow.
One monthly EUR invoice
Verified B2B customers receive one EUR invoice after every calendar month with nonzero charges. Invoices are due 14 days after issue unless a contract states otherwise.
Light B2B verification
ClearSKY verifies the business and its billing details through a light manual review before enabling monthly invoice billing.
Immediate plan activation
A new paid service plan starts immediately when accepted. Its first fee is prorated by calendar day from and including the activation date through the end of that month; later months are charged in full. Downgrades and cancellation take effect at month-end.
Cent-precise invoices
Calculations retain exact decimal values. Each final Order × service-month invoice line is rounded to the nearest cent, with exact half-cent values rounded away from zero. The invoice total is the sum of those rounded lines.
Usability Score included with imagery
Included Usability Score outputs are part of the imagery price and do not create a separate charge or invoice line. Access to included Usability Score outputs follows the imagery order and is not restricted by service plan.
Source-level and custom work
Summary score metadata for eligible underlying source observations is included when available. Full source-level score rasters for every acquisition, historical archive backfills, customer-owned sensors, and custom calibration or delivery formats are separately quoted.
Review first, record the charge at acceptance
The accepted configuration and total provide the commercial basis for a new order.
Review
Orders in Review are not charged. You can see its proposed scope and price before ClearSKY accepts it.
Accepted order
For monthly invoice billing, when ClearSKY accepts a new Monitoring or Single Image order, its accepted total is recorded as an unbilled charge for that calendar month.
For monthly invoice billing, fixed-term Monitoring orders are recorded at acceptance for every selected historical and current calendar month. The service period remains identified separately on the account record.
One invoice after each calendar month with charges
Invoices are due within 14 days unless your contract says otherwise.
Clearly itemized charges
For verified B2B customers, plan fees and imagery appear on the same consolidated monthly invoice as separate lines.
Invoice and account records
The consolidated monthly invoice is the payment request and identifies the applicable service periods. If order prepayment is required, the amount and applicable taxes appear on the relevant invoice or payment document.
Monitoring periods
Complete calendar months, fixed-term or recurring
The selected service months determine the Monitoring charge; the acceptance date does not prorate an included month.
Selected months
Monitoring is purchased in complete calendar months. The selected From month and To month are inclusive, and every selected month is charged at the full monthly price without proration.
You can select any supported historical From month through the current calendar month. Future months cannot be selected; use recurring Monitoring for continuing coverage.
When the current month is selected, Monitoring includes eligible scheduled dates from the beginning of that month, including dates before acceptance.
Recurring Monitoring
Fixed-term Monitoring ends after the selected To month. Recurring Monitoring adds one complete calendar month at the beginning of each new month until cancelled.
Cancel recurring Monitoring before 00:00 Europe/Copenhagen time on the first day of the next calendar month to prevent that month from renewing. Cancellation does not reverse a month that has already begun.
Each recurring Monitoring month is recorded at 00:00 Europe/Copenhagen time on the first day of that calendar month. The accepted area, model, inputs, cadence, and delivery options set the monthly price; delivered image count does not change it.
Account limits keep monthly exposure controlled
Limits support invoice billing without changing published product prices.
Account-specific billing limit
Each monthly invoice account has an account-specific billing limit. It is a payment facility, not customer-owned funds, and is not a minimum spend.
Past-due invoices
If an invoice is overdue, later orders require full payment before acceptance until the overdue invoices are cleared.
Payment before acceptance
ClearSKY may require payment of an identified order before acceptance, for example where invoice billing is unavailable or the order cannot be accommodated within the account's billing limit. Where required, the full order total is paid before acceptance rather than split between prepayment and monthly invoicing.
Flexible ordering without spending thresholds
Commercial minimums and product coverage rules are different concepts.
No minimum spend
There is no minimum order value, minimum monthly spend, or minimum invoice value. Product-specific minimum coverage and whole-grid-block rules still apply.
Coverage rules still apply
Exact AOI has a minimum billable area, while grid orders use whole mini-tile or full-tile blocks. These are geographic billing units, not transaction minimums.
VAT and applicable taxes
Tax is shown before payment and on the relevant document
Displayed prices exclude VAT and other applicable taxes unless expressly stated. Applicable taxes are shown before payment and on the relevant invoice or payment document.
Review pricing before acceptance
Use the calculator for a representative estimate. The dashboard shows the authoritative order price and settlement method before an order leaves Review.
