Avision
5.2/10Avision is drone airspace and operations software that handles FAA LAANC authorizations, flight planning, logbooks, Remote ID and UTM/U-space traffic management for commercial, public safety and government operators.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
Avision is an airspace platform for drone operators, not a drone mapping or inspection analytics tool. Its web, iOS and Android app covers airspace awareness, TFR and NOTAM checks, weather, map-based mission planning and FAA LAANC authorizations, for which Avision is an FAA-approved UAS Service Supplier. It is also an approved B4UFLY provider. Commercial users add an operations dashboard, an activity logbook and KML import and export. Larger operators can use Avision UTM, which adds strategic deconfliction, conformance monitoring, Remote ID under ASTM F3411, traffic information and priority airspace access. Public safety agencies can also stream live video from the drone to a command center. Avision says it has worked with NASA on UTM since 2015 and runs a Swiss entity in Lugano for U-space services. Its blog reports an FAA Letter of Authorization for BVLOS in 2025 and a UTM production rollout in Switzerland. Pricing is simple. Basic is free for recreational pilots. Pro costs 10 USD per month and adds Part 107 LAANC and logging. Enterprise is custom-priced and adds team collaboration, airspace monitoring, UTM services and platform integrations. An API lets third-party ground control systems connect. The main limitation is scope. Avision does not process imagery, run inspections, or track drone maintenance or batteries. Teams that need data capture and analysis will have to pair it with other tools. Public detail on security certifications and on independent user reviews is also thin.
Our Rating
Who Avision is best for
Best software for GovernmentGood fit
Public safety features include live video streaming to command centers, Remote ID display and priority airspace access, and the company works with NASA, the FAA and Skyguide.
The Pro plan at 10 USD per month gives commercial Part 107 operators LAANC, a logbook, KML import and export, and an operations dashboard.
Less suited
The custom Enterprise tier adds team collaboration, airspace monitoring, UTM services and platform integrations for larger fleets.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- It is an FAA-approved UAS Service Supplier for LAANC and an approved B4UFLY provider, so pilots get near real-time controlled-airspace authorizations inside the app.
- Commercial operators get Part 107 LAANC, a logbook and KML import and export for 10 USD per month, and recreational pilots can use it for free.
- The UTM layer offers strategic deconfliction, conformance monitoring and ASTM F3411 Remote ID, which most drone logbook apps lack.
- Public safety agencies can stream live thermal or night video to a command center and share it in a web browser.
- The company has a long track record in UTM, including NASA work since 2015, a 2025 FAA BVLOS Letter of Authorization and a Swiss U-space entity.
Cons
- It does not process drone imagery, map sites, or analyze inspections, so asset owners need separate data-capture and analytics software.
- Drone maintenance, battery or equipment tracking is not documented on the app page.
- There are no published reviews on G2, Capterra or SourceForge (SourceForge shows 0 ratings), which makes real-world reliability hard to judge.
- Security certifications and compliance documents are not published, and the help center has only a handful of articles.
- Team collaboration and integrations require the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
