Comparison

The Votix alternative that doesn't charge per viewer, per drone

Votix and Nebli solve the same problem: live drone video to a browser, AI on the feed, shared with more than one person. The difference shows up on the invoice. Votix prices Stream by the seat and AI by the drone; Nebli gives you unlimited viewers at every tier and includes AI detection from Fleet up, at one flat price.

Votix cells marked per public sources are summarized from Votix's published material and reseller price lists, and are not independently verified by Nebli. Prices are one reseller's public list, not Votix's own price sheet, and may vary.

Nebli is not certified CJIS, NDAA, SOC 2, or FedRAMP today. Votix markets NDAA, ASDA, and CJIS compliance on its own pages.

02/What it actually costs

One flat tier versus a stack of add-ons.

Nebli's price is the tier. Votix's price is the sum of the modules and seats a deployment ends up needing.

Nebli flat tiers
  • PilotFree
  • Crew$149/mo
  • Fleet$999/mo
  • EnterpriseCustom

Unlimited viewers and AI detection included at Fleet and up. The price does not change with headcount.

Votix per-SKU stack
  • Stream (per user/yr)$708–$1,188
  • Fly (per drone/yr)$2,388–$4,788
  • Visual AI (per drone/yr)$6,000
  • DFR Fly (per drone/yr)$3,000–$5,000

Every additional viewer is another Stream seat; AI is a separate per-drone line.per reseller price list

Worked example

A 3-drone deployment with 5 viewers and AI on every drone stacks to roughly $28,700–$38,300 per year on Votix's published reseller list, before any DFR-specific module. The same deployment sits inside Nebli's Fleet tier at $999 per month, unlimited viewers and AI included.

03/What Nebli does

Four things you get without a per-seat bill.

Unmetered sharing

A PIN-gated link any browser can open. Viewers are not counted or billed.

Natural-language detection

Describe what to watch for in plain language, rather than picking from a fixed category list. Included from Fleet up.

Multi-OEM relay

Any drone or field camera exposing RTSP, with no firmware change.

Direct-to-cloud video

Video streams over RTMP straight to Nebli's platform on US AWS; it does not pass through a drone vendor's cloud.

05/FAQ

Questions buyers ask first.

What does Votix actually cost compared to Nebli?

Votix prices in modules: Stream by the user, Fly and Visual AI by the drone. A 3-drone deployment with 5 viewers and AI on every drone stacks to roughly $28,700–$38,300 a year on a published reseller list, before any DFR-specific module. The same deployment fits inside Nebli's Fleet tier at $999 a month, unlimited viewers and AI included.Votix figures per reseller price list

Is Nebli CJIS, NDAA, or SOC 2 certified?

No, not today. Nebli is not certified CJIS, NDAA, SOC 2, or FedRAMP. It is built aligned to ISO 27001 controls, with no third-party attestation yet. Votix's own pages claim NDAA, ASDA, and CJIS compliance. If a certification is a requirement, raise it early and ask any vendor, including us, for the supporting documentation.

Does Nebli offer facial recognition or license-plate recognition?

No. Nebli's AI detection uses natural-language rules on the live feed rather than a fixed category catalog, and does not include facial recognition or license-plate recognition. Votix markets both as part of its AI module.Votix detail per public sources

Does video pass through a drone vendor's cloud on either platform?

On Nebli, no: video streams live from the field, direct over RTMP to Nebli's own platform on AWS in the United States. It does not pass through the drone vendor's cloud. Processing and storage stay in US regions, enforced at the AWS organization level. Votix's public material does not address its own data path, so no comparison claim is made either way.

What is the key difference between Nebli and Votix?

Both relay live drone and camera video to a browser with AI on the feed. Nebli is flat-priced with unlimited viewers at every tier and AI detection included from Fleet up and self-serve to start. Votix prices by the seat and the drone, sells through resellers, and carries a broader AI feature set including facial and license-plate recognition, plus bundled regulatory assistance Nebli does not offer.Votix detail per public sources
