Best Photogrammetry Software in 2026
Updated
In short: WebODM is ranked #1 of 28 as of 2 October 2026, ahead of OpenDroneMap and KIRI Engine. The best-ranked option with a free plan is KIRI Engine. The lowest first paid tier on this page is KIRI Engine at $6.67/mo.
Photogrammetry tools turn image-based projects into 3D or geospatial outputs, but the workflows they support can differ. Compare API access and deployment options, then check whether ground control points and exports for GIS data, orthophotos, or point clouds match your needs. Free image limits and free-plan availability help clarify what you can try without a paid plan; paid-from pricing gives another point of comparison. WebODM and OpenDroneMap appear among the first entries, alongside KIRI Engine. The ranking also includes 3DF Zephyr and Agisoft Metashape, so you can weigh these options against the same listed criteria for the work you need to do.
