The same page's summary cards say single archive image from $15, single tasking image from $200, aerial from $35, analytics from $5. Minimums: SkyFi's FAQ says minimum tasking area is 25 km\u00b2 and a 25 km\u00b2 tasking request starts at $200; Planet Select orders need a 25 km\u00b2 minimum AOI (from $6/km\u00b2 archive >30 days, $12/km\u00b2 flexible tasking). Archive minimums are per scene: each search result carries minSqKm/maxSqKm, priceForOneSquareKm and priceFullScene/fullSceneOnly. Exact prices come from the API (POST /pricing, /tasking/products, the */validate endpoints; MCP validate tools return estimatedCostCents). A 'full pricing sheet' download exists but was not read. Free accounts can place 1 open-data order per day and paid orders with a card on file; Pro accounts 5 open-data orders per day plus advanced billing (Pro price not found). The MCP connector itself is free. Check: the static pricing page shows only the per-image starting prices ($15 archive, $200 tasking, SAR $450, aerial $35); the per-km2 rates, the $675 SAR tasking figure and the 25 km2 minimum were not visible on it in a later check, so confirm them in the app or the pricing sheet."
