Pix4D is a photogrammetry suite that turns drone, phone, and LiDAR captures into maps, point clouds, and CAD-ready vectors, with separate desktop apps for surveying, agriculture, and fast 2D mapping.
A survey crew that used to walk a site can now fly it, but the photos are useless until something turns them into a surface a CAD user can trust. Pix4D's desktop apps do that processing locally: PIX4Dmatic for large aerial and terrestrial projects, PIX4Dmapper for classic drone mapping, PIX4Dfields for crop imagery, and PIX4Dreact for fast 2D maps when a team needs a picture of the ground in minutes.
How much is PIX4Dmatic? On pix4d.com, yearly plans excluding tax are US$2,290 for Analyst (US$190.83 per month on the plan page), US$3,990 for Standard (US$332.50 per month), and US$4,990 for Pro (US$415.83 per month). PIX4Dmatic is licensed separately from PIX4Dmapper; each desktop app needs its own subscription.
Exports from PIX4Dmatic include LAS 1.2 and 1.4, LAZ, XYZ, GeoTIFF orthomosaics and DSMs, OBJ and FBX meshes, and DXF for layers and section lines. The project file is .p4m, and the same support article lists an Open Photogrammetry Format (.opf). Gaussian splat export is PLY. IFC is not in that output list.
The matic hardware page asks for Windows 11 or macOS Sequoia and says Windows 10 is no longer supported. From version 1.64, new Mac builds target Apple silicon, while Intel Macs are told to stay on version 1.63, and CUDA acceleration is NVIDIA on Windows only. Gaussian splatting is Windows only. PIX4Dcatch, the phone capture app named on the pricing page, is iOS only.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Pix4D cost?
The product plan pages, checked on October 1, 2026, show yearly prices excluding tax. PIX4Dmatic is US$2,290 a year for Analyst, US$3,990 for Standard, and US$4,990 for Pro. PIX4Dmapper is US$3,990 a year, PIX4Dfields is US$1,990, and PIX4Dreact is US$990. The family pricing grid still shows lower "starting from" monthly figures, including US$125 for matic, that do not match those yearly rates, so confirm the cart before paying.
Is Pix4D a subscription, and can I cancel it?
The prices above are billed yearly. Pix4D's pricing FAQ also says subscriptions can renew month to month, yearly, or every three years, and that you can cancel in the account before the renewal date. Downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the current cycle, and Pix4D says it does not offer refunds. Monthly and three-year dollar amounts were not printed on the product plan pages, so those figures have to come from the store or sales.
Does Pix4D have a free trial?
Yes. Pix4D documents a 15-day trial for most products. PIX4Dmatic, PIX4Dfields, PIX4Dreact, PIX4Dcloud, and PIX4Dcatch can start from a signed-in app, while PIX4Dmapper requires a request and non-corporate mapper requests can take up to 15 days to review. Trials of matic, fields, react, and cloud do not allow export of processed outputs unless you request a trial that includes export. A PIX4Dcatch trial started through Apple in-app purchase renews as a paid subscription unless you cancel it in iOS settings.
Does PIX4Dmatic run on Mac or Windows 10?
The hardware page lists Windows 11 64-bit and macOS Sequoia 15 as the minimum operating systems, and it says Windows 10 is not supported. From version 1.64, new Mac builds target Apple silicon, and Intel Macs are told to stay on version 1.63. CUDA acceleration is NVIDIA on Windows only. Gaussian splatting is not supported on macOS.
What files can PIX4Dmatic export, and does it write IFC?
Point clouds export as LAS 1.2, LAS 1.4, LAZ, and XYZ. Orthomosaics and DSMs export as GeoTIFF, meshes as OBJ, FBX, PLY, SLPK, or Cesium 3D tiles, and vector layers as DXF, SHP, or GeoJSON, with section views also as DXF. IFC is not listed among those outputs. The native project file is .p4m, and the same article lists Open Photogrammetry Format (.opf).
Should I buy PIX4Dmatic or PIX4Dmapper?
Pix4D still sells both. Mapper's plan page describes classic drone mapping with a floating license on one device at a time, at US$3,990 per year, while matic's plan page is the newer desktop with three yearly tiers from US$2,290 to US$4,990. A quote on the matic page says it was faster than mapper on a large project. Pick mapper for the classic single app, or matic if you need the Analyst, Standard, or Pro split, including LiDAR in the same project on Standard and Pro.
Who are the Pix4D apps for?
PIX4Dmatic's tiers are written for survey and CAD workflows, including terrain classification, contours, and vector layers. PIX4Dfields targets agriculture, with vegetation indices and prescription maps. PIX4Dreact targets emergency and public-safety teams that need a 2D map quickly, and its page notes it can run where internet is unavailable. PIX4Dcatch, used to capture on a phone, is marked iOS only on the pricing page.
How much is PIX4Dmatic?
PIX4Dmatic yearly prices on pix4d.com, excluding tax, are US$2,290 for Analyst, US$3,990 for Standard, and US$4,990 for Pro. The plan page also shows equivalent monthly figures when billed yearly. PIX4Dmatic is a separate subscription from PIX4Dmapper.
