Can I use Aloft and DroneBundle together?

Yes. Request the LAANC authorization in Aloft or any FAA-approved LAANC app, then keep the authorization number on the DroneBundle project. The job, the crew, the airspace map, the flight records and the invoice all stay in DroneBundle.

Is DroneBundle an Aloft alternative?

For everything beyond the authorization itself, yes. DroneBundle covers the airspace check, the job, the pilot schedule, flight approvals, flight records, maintenance, safety, clients and invoicing. Teams keep a LAANC app for the request and run the rest of the operation in DroneBundle.

Does DroneBundle show LAANC heights and TFRs?

Yes. Click any spot in the US to see the LAANC height limit, the airspace class, nearby airports and heliports, towers, power lines and live TFRs. Each project shows its work area on the same map, with the forecast for the hour you plan to fly.

How does pricing compare between DroneBundle and Aloft?

Aloft Air Control is free for individual operators, with enterprise plans sold by quote. DroneBundle uses flat tiers per workspace: Starter is $149 a month, Professional $499, Business $999 and Enterprise is custom, with no per-seat fees.

Does DroneBundle work with DJI Dock?

Yes. Connect DJI FlightHub 2 once and dock flights sync into the same flight records as handheld flights, with maintenance counters updated from each flight.

Does DroneBundle offer a free trial?

Yes. 14-day free trial with full access to all Enterprise features. No credit card required.

Aloft is a US airspace platform and FAA-approved LAANC provider, acquired by Versaterm in February 2026. Aloft Air Control is free for individual operators and covers near real-time LAANC requests, airspace advisories and mission planning, with enterprise plans for fleets.

DroneBundle puts the US airspace picture (FAA classes, LAANC heights and live TFRs) on the same map where the job is planned, and keeps the LAANC authorization number on the project. Around it sit pilot scheduling, flight approvals, DJI flight records with 3D replay, DJI Dock flights through FlightHub 2, clients, invoicing, maintenance and safety. Request LAANC in Aloft, then run the rest in DroneBundle.
