Turn NavVis point clouds and panoramic imagery into georeferenced, ready-to-share geodata in GEORIZON, without a licence per user.
NavVis lists three IVION editions. Core is positioned for project based 2D and 3D deliverables and is capped, according to the Core product sheet, at 80 registered users, an unlimited number of viewers, an unlimited number of sites and up to 200,000 square metres, on multi tenant cloud infrastructure. Professional is aimed at recurring site capture and verification and scales past 100 users depending on project size. Enterprise is tailored per organisation. IVION Processing is not part of Core: it is bought separately, in volume based packages of processing units.
This is the part that catches people out on their second project. NavVis documents that processing units are calculated on the scanned area in square metres, at a rate that depends on the device and the processing mode. A NavVis CLX receives a flat rate entitlement per device, while VLX and MLX require processing units to be estimated up front. Advanced steps are not free either: blurring people, blurring number plates and Gaussian Splatting all consume processing units from your account level balance. So a project where privacy blurring is mandatory costs more units than the same project without it, and that is a budget line that is easy to miss when you plan.
navvis.com does not publish figures. Every edition ends in a request for a tailored quote. There is one exception: the NavVis IVION Starter Pack on AWS Marketplace, listed at 30,000 US dollars for twelve months covering up to 100,000 square metres, with each additional unit covering another 100,000 square metres for the same period. That offer is limited to the United States and additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. It is the only public anchor there is, so treat it as an order of magnitude rather than as the price you would be quoted in Europe.
NavVis is explicit about this in its own licence documentation. With an expired System Software subscription you can still scan with the device, but IVION Processing will not run, and data can only be processed while a valid subscription is held. NavVis Desktop Processing is licensed against the serial number of a specific device and carries its own update subscription; once that lapses you can no longer process that device’s data with the current version of the software. Worth planning for if you buy a scanner expecting to use it for a decade.
IVION is a capable platform and for a team that works entirely indoors and entirely within NavVis it does the job. It becomes awkward when your indoor scans have to live next to mobile mapping, oblique imagery or aerial LiDAR, when far more people need to look than to scan, or when the per square metre model does not match the shape of your projects. Those are the cases where it is worth comparing against a platform that prices on storage and on the trajectory of the recording instead. We wrote a separate page comparing GEORIZON with IVION Core, including a worked calculation and our own price calculator.
