InFlightAI (formerly Levatas)

Pros

• About 37 ready-to-use computer vision models, including analog gauge reading (patented in 2019), thermal hotspots, corrosion and utility pole condition, so teams do not need to train models themselves.
• Deep hardware partnerships: Boston Dynamics' first Certified Technology Partner for Industrial AI, plus a native integration with Skydio Cloud and the X10 dock.
• Low-confidence detections go to human reviewers, and their feedback retrains the models on the customer's own data, which reduces false alarms over time.
• Pushes inspection results into IBM Maximo, Oracle EAM, IFS Cloud and MaintainX, and offers an API for other systems.
• Runs as containers in a private cloud, on-premises or at the edge, and the vendor says data stays inside the customer's network.

Cons

• No public pricing. Outside the 30-day trial for Skydio X10 owners, buyers have to go through sales.
• It analyzes data but does not capture it, so you need Skydio drones, Spot robots or compatible cameras.
• No native work order or CMMS module. Maintenance jobs have to be created in a connected EAM.
• Almost no independent user reviews on G2, Capterra or forums, which makes it hard to verify the vendor's performance claims.
• No published security certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 were found on the website.
• The 2026 rebrand from Levatas means older documentation and press still use the old name, and the support portal remains on a levatas.com domain.

Percepto

Pros

• The EPA approved its autonomous OGI system as an Alternative Test Method under OOOOa and OOOOb, so oil and gas operators can run remote methane surveys for compliance.
• The Ranger and Harbor stations stay permanently on site and recharge themselves, and the base-hopping feature lets one drone fly frequent missions without a pilot on location.
• AXION accepts data from third-party drones, sensors and existing archives, so buyers are not tied to Percepto hardware.
• Percepto reports operational results such as one upstream deployment that found more than 130 potential emission events in three months.

Cons

• There is no public pricing, and on-site hardware deployments are aimed at enterprise budgets.
• AXION launched only in October 2026, so it has little independent track record.
• The vendor's site barely documents named integrations with CMMS, EAM or GIS systems, or its security certifications.
• Leadership changed in 2026, including the departure of the co-founders, which may concern buyers committing to a long-term vendor.
