DJI FlightHub 2 is DJI's own cockpit for a DJI fleet. Hover is the vendor-agnostic relay and intelligence layer that carries your feeds, DJI and everything else, to anyone who needs to watch. It works with your DJI aircraft over RTMP, streams flat and unlimited at every tier, and runs AI detection on the feed. It sits alongside FlightHub 2 rather than replacing your fleet console.

FlightHub 2 is DJI's own operations console, built to manage a DJI fleet. Hover is a managed relay and AI layer for the drones and cameras you already own, whatever the brand. Both are useful. Which one you lead with depends on what you fly and how many people need the feed.

Metering figures describe DJI's Business tier only. DJI Enterprise offers unlimited or very-high livestream, so metering does not apply there. Pricing varies by region.
Vendor-agnostic, additive. Hover carries your feeds, DJI and everything else, and sits alongside any fleet console you run.

Hover charges a flat rate per tier and never meters the stream. DJI FlightHub 2 Business bills livestream by total viewing time across the platform. Here is the honest version, scoped to the tier where metering applies.
Unlimited streaming at every tier, any number of feeds and viewers, no per-minute meter. A free Pilot tests it end to end.
Business livestream is metered by total viewing time across the platform, so simultaneous viewers multiply consumption. Pricing varies by region.per public sources
This comparison uses DJI's metered Business tier ($1,600/yr): 2,000 livestream minutes per month org-wide, then per-minute recharge. Livestream is billed on total viewing time across the platform, so two people watching one feed burn minutes twice as fast.
DJI Enterprise ($3,280/yr) offers unlimited or very-high livestream, so metering doesn't apply there. Against Enterprise, Hover competes on flat price, vendor-agnostic feeds, and AI detection, not on metering.
Overage recharge: $2,080 / 100,000 min ($0.021/min) or $259 / 10,000 min ($0.026/min). Pricing varies by region.

A real comparison says where the other platform is stronger. Here is ours.
Bottom line: if you run only DJI aircraft and want DJI's own cockpit, FlightHub 2 is the natural choice. Hover sits alongside it as the vendor-agnostic relay and AI layer, so you can run both.
For live streaming and sharing, yes. Hover is a vendor-agnostic relay and AI layer that carries your feeds to anyone who needs to watch, flat and unlimited, with natural-language detection on the feed. It works with your DJI aircraft and non-DJI gear alike. For DJI fleet, device, and mission management, FlightHub 2 stays the tool; Hover sits alongside it rather than replacing it.
Yes. Stream a DJI drone into Hover over RTMP using the controller, with guides for DJI Pilot 2 and the DJI Fly app. Hover also relays PX4 / ArduPilot drones and any RTSP or RTMP camera, so a mixed fleet lands in one place.
No. Every Hover tier streams unlimited minutes, any number of feeds and viewers, with no per-minute meter. For contrast, DJI FlightHub 2 Business meters livestream at 2,000 minutes per month org-wide, then per-minute recharge, billed on total viewing time across the platform. DJI Enterprise offers unlimited or very-high livestream, so metering does not apply there. Model your own numbers in the streaming cost calculator.DJI detail per public sources
Yes. A PIN-gated share page opens in any browser with no install and no account, for any number of viewers. Concurrent viewers are never metered, so command staff, partners, and stakeholders can all watch the same feed at once.
No, and it is not meant to. Hover carries the feed and runs AI on it; it does not manage DJI firmware, batteries, users, or mission planning. If you rely on DJI-native fleet and device management or DJI Dock, keep FlightHub 2 and add Hover alongside it as the vendor-agnostic relay and AI layer.
DJI FlightHub 2 is free on Standard, $1,600/yr on Business with metered livestream, and $3,280/yr on Enterprise with unlimited or very-high livestream. Hover is flat per tier: Pilot free, Crew $149/mo, Fleet $999/mo, and Enterprise custom, with unlimited streaming throughout. Where the two cross over depends on your viewing hours and viewers, which the cost calculator works out for your fleet.DJI pricing per public sources
