Scanners, drones, and point clouds are how these listings hand a site to a BIM team. The result might be an orthomosaic, a mesh, or a utility record. Windows is the install most of these capture tools expect. The browser and iOS show up on the field and cloud tools.
Pix4D is the subscription for photogrammetry, orthomosaics, and volume calculations on Windows, macOS, the web, and iOS, with public yearly prices. Agisoft Metashape is the paid photogrammetry listing on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with public one-time prices. Leica BLK360 by Leica Geosystems and FARO Focus by FARO are enterprise quote laser-scanning listings. 3DF Zephyr is freemium on Windows for photo models and point clouds that can sync with Revit.
A few listings are freemium. The others are paid or quoted. A drone app and a terrestrial scanner do not replace each other. Compare the capture method before you compare the price.

Virtual Surveyor is desktop drone-surveying software that turns orthomosaics, elevation models, and point clouds into CAD-ready linework,
3DF Zephyr and Virtual Surveyor are Windows listings for photogrammetry, surfaces, and volumes. Bentley iTwin Capture Modeler lists Windows and the web for reality meshes from photos and lidar. Pix4D and the laser scanners are not in that freemium group.
Leica BLK360 by Leica Geosystems lists laser scanning and spherical photography on iOS and Windows. FARO Focus by FARO lists laser scanning and point cloud registration on Windows, iOS, and Android. NavVis lists mobile laser scanning on the web and Windows. Those scanner listings are enterprise quote. Pix4D and Agisoft Metashape are the photogrammetry listings instead.
Yes. Pix4D is a subscription, and the tool page lists yearly prices for PIX4Dmatic and PIX4Dmapper. Platforms are Windows, macOS, the web, and iOS. Tasks include photogrammetry, orthomosaics, point clouds, and volume calculations.
4M Analytics is an enterprise quote browser listing for utility mapping, records research, and conflict review, aimed at subsurface utility engineering. It does not list laser scanning or drone processing. Civ Robotics is the paid field-layout listing for construction staking rather than point-cloud modeling.
Windows shows up more than the other surveying platforms. The web and iOS show up on the field and cloud tools. Agisoft Metashape is the listing that names Linux, and it also lists Windows and macOS. It is a paid photogrammetry tool with public one-time prices.
