What Does a Drone Show Cost?

By Antonio Liska •

Drone show in progress illustrating cost factors

A frequently asked question is, “how much is a drone show?” It’s a good question since drone shows don’t often display their price tag.

To cut to the chase—Intel publishes starting rates of $500 or $666 dollars per drone depending on the drone selected. Others quote flat rates of $500 per drone. Instead of quoting a flat rate, Drone Show Guys takes a look at your whole project, in order to provide the lowest price possible.

Here are the factors that we take into consideration with respect to drone show pricing:

  • Show Location
  • Show Size
  • Show Design
  • Show Date
  • Airspace Type
  • Show Preparation
  • Insurance Requirement
  • Hardware Requirement
  • Number of Personnel
  • Frequency of Deployment

Our offers have ranged from $250 to $450 dollars per drone depending on the specifics. Contact us today and let us know what you need.

Update: see our 2024 pricing article — our proprietary system has since brought pricing down to $100–$250 per drone.
