All prices are per license (one concurrent data stream).
The five-year plan is equivalent to USD 32 per month, billed as one upfront payment of USD 1,920. This saves 20% compared with 60 monthly payments of USD 40 at the current monthly rate.
Using one subscription with several devices
This is the most common question before purchase, so here is the full rule.
One subscription includes one set of NTRIP credentials and one concurrent connection. The credentials are not locked to a device.
Use several devices one after another
One subscription
Share credentials in a team that works at different times
One subscription
Run two or more devices at the same time
One data stream per simultaneous device
Sequential use is unproblematic. Enter the same credentials in every drone, rover, or machine and connect with whichever one you are using that day. Nothing needs to be reconfigured when you switch.
Two devices on one stream at the same time will not work. The two devices disconnect each other continuously, in one analysed session every 5 to 6 seconds. In the field this looks like an unstable network rather than a licence limit: the fix keeps cycling between FIX, FLOAT and SINGLE, neither device converges, and the problem disappears the moment the second device is switched off. Anything logged in with the credentials occupies the connection, including a base station that pulls its own position from NTRIP and an NTRIP app left running in the background.
Adding streams. Add or remove data streams at any time from your account dashboard. An extra stream is active immediately, so you can add one on the day of a job instead of buying it in advance, and remove it afterwards. Depending on how your account is provisioned, an additional stream either comes with its own set of credentials or raises the number of simultaneous connections your existing credentials allow. Both work the same way in the field. Each additional stream costs the same as a single license (see the table above). For fleets, book a meeting to discuss volume options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pricing in USD?
Yes. All RTKdata prices are listed in US Dollars (USD). Your bank or payment provider handles currency conversion at checkout if you're paying in another currency (GBP, EUR, AUD, etc.).
Can I pay in GBP / EUR / AUD?
Payments are processed in USD. Your credit card company or bank will convert at the current exchange rate. The exact amount in your local currency depends on your bank's rate and any foreign transaction fees.
Do you offer education discounts?
Contact us at info@rtkdata.com to discuss educational or academic pricing.
Can I run multiple drones / devices on one subscription?
Yes, one after another. Each subscription gives you one set of NTRIP credentials that supports one active connection at a time. Two devices connected simultaneously need one data stream each. Full rule and field symptoms: Using one subscription with several devices.
Can multiple people share one subscription?
Yes, but only one person can be connected at a time. If a colleague connects with the same credentials while you're working, your connection gets dropped. For teams working simultaneously, add one data stream per person from your account dashboard.
What happens when my free trial ends?
The trial ends automatically after 30 days. There is no auto-renewal and no credit card is required. Your credentials simply stop working. To continue, purchase a subscription.
How do I cancel?
Go to My Account → Subscription → Cancel. Cancellation is immediate, no lock-in, no penalties.
I accidentally bought the wrong plan / too many subscriptions
Contact support@rtkdata.com: we'll sort it out.
Will my dashboard update immediately after payment?
It may take a few minutes for your dashboard to reflect a new payment. If it hasn't updated after 15 minutes, contact support with your order confirmation email.
Do you charge VAT/tax?
Taxes (including VAT) may apply depending on your location and will be shown at checkout or on your invoice.
Coverage Outside the Map
If your location is outside the Coverage Map:
Try it anyway: the free trial lets you test. Some areas have coverage beyond what's shown on the map.
Request a local base station: RTKdata can sometimes provide a local reference station at no additional cost. Contact us at info@rtkdata.com.
Check back regularly: the network is constantly expanding with new stations.
