Pricing rules
Satellite input pricing
Required sources are included in each model configuration. Optional-input uplifts are shown for every supported model; Cumulus configurations and supplier-priced imagery are confirmed by quote.
Inputs by model
Required inputs are included in the selected model configuration. Optional-input uplifts are shown for every supported model, while the final Cumulus configuration and price are confirmed in a quote.
Stratus-3
Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Landsat 8/9 are required inputs and are included in the published Stratus-3 rate.
Included inputs
Nimbus
Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 are included. Landsat 8/9 is an optional 10% add-on that brings Nimbus monitoring pricing approximately in line with the equivalent Stratus-3 input bundle.
Included inputs
Cumulus
Available on requestCumulus is available on request with Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 included. Landsat 8/9, CBERS MUX, CBERS WFI, and Amazonia-1 WFI are independent optional input groups, each adding 10%.

Optional input-group pricing
Percentages are added to the selected model price. Included means the source is already part of that model's base configuration.
| Input group | Stratus-3 | Nimbus | Cumulus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landsat 8/9Adds the Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 optical and thermal instrument families.Includes: Landsat 9 OLI-2 & TIRS-2, Landsat 8 OLI & TIRS. | Included | +10% | +10% |
| CBERS MUXAdds the higher-resolution MUX instruments from CBERS-4 and CBERS-4A.Includes: CBERS-4A MUX, CBERS-4 MUX. | — | — | +10% |
| CBERS WFIAdds the wide-field WFI instruments from CBERS-4 and CBERS-4A.Includes: CBERS-4A WFI, CBERS-4 WFI. | — | — | +10% |
| Amazonia-1 WFIAdds the wide-field WFI instrument carried by Amazonia-1.Includes: Amazonia-1 WFI. | — | — | +10% |
Cumulus optional input groups are additive: each selected group adds 10%, and selecting all 4 adds +40%. The final Cumulus configuration and price are confirmed in the quote.
Required inputs
Core sources for the selected model. They are used automatically when available and are included in that model’s published rate or agreed quote.
Optional inputs
Grouped source families that can improve timeliness or robustness. Published models show the uplift directly; on-request combinations are priced in the quote.
Commercial inputs
Supplier-priced imagery sits outside the public monitoring tables. We confirm source availability and quote those costs separately before ordering.
Where the optional uplift is applied
- 1. Coverage: calculate each Field, mini-tile, or full-tile component at its published model rate.
- 2. Optional inputs: add each published percentage to the selected model price across that complete billable coverage.
- 3. On-request models: confirm the complete configuration and price in a quote before ordering.
Compare each model's technical source requirements in the model guide and specifications.
