Software FAQ

Quick answers about our software products and development roadmap.

Is Reality Capture Studio really free?
Yes. Studio is a free desktop application. We believe the core tools for capture and processing should be accessible to everyone. Cloud is a separate paid service for users who need online collaboration, advanced analytics, and operational features.
When will Studio and Cloud be available?
Both products are in active development. Join the waitlist on alos.app to be notified when early access opens. DroneCompare is live and available now.
Can I use Studio without Alos Cloud?
Absolutely. Studio works standalone and offline. You can process data, generate self-hosted viewers, and publish to your own infrastructure without ever connecting to Alos Cloud.
How can I contribute to DroneCompare?
DroneCompare is open-data and welcomes contributions. You can report inaccuracies, suggest new drones, or submit corrections directly through the platform.
