Atlas pricing reflects how debris monitoring firms operate — hourly billing for hourly contracts, per-parcel for PPDR work, per-cubic-yard for Debris Removal Contractors. No monthly platform fees. No per-seat charges for back-office staff. No minimums beyond the per-project floor.
The vast majority of debris monitoring contracts at the state and local level are billed hourly. Atlas Public charges only for field operation hours — monitors, field supervisors, and operations managers. Project management, data management, and leadership hours are never metered. Rates step down as your billed field hours grow, with each band billed at its own rate (not retroactive across prior bands).
| Total billed field hours | Rate for that band |
|---|---|
| First 20,000 | $1.50 / hr |
| 20,001 – 50,000 | $1.25 / hr |
| 50,001 – 100,000 | $1.00 / hr |
| 100,001 – 150,000 | $0.85 / hr |
| 150,001 and above | $0.75 / hr |
Tenant administrators, project managers, data managers, and back-office staff use Atlas at no charge — full platform access, no per-user fees. Atlas charges only for active field staff.
Most platforms charge per user regardless of role. Atlas keeps the back office free so your project leadership has full visibility without padding the per-user bill.
Wildfire and Private Property Debris Removal operations bill differently than Right-of-Way work. Atlas Foundation pricing reflects that — per-parcel rates that scale with the size of the response, with each band billed at its own rate (not retroactive across prior bands).
| Parcels worked | Rate for that band |
|---|---|
| First 500 | $400 / parcel |
| 501 – 1,500 | $325 / parcel |
| 1,501 – 3,000 | $275 / parcel |
| 3,001 – 6,000 | $200 / parcel |
| 6,001 and above | $175 / parcel |
When requested directly under a USACE prime contract, billing is structured per cubic yard rather than hourly. Atlas Public supports that model with cumulative-tier per-CY pricing.

We're partnering with five firms that will shape the future of Atlas. In exchange for serving as reference clients, early adopters of Atlas Public lock in a discounted rate for the first year and 50% off the regularly billed rate for the life of the relationship — not just an introductory period.
Early adopter slots are reserved for established monitoring firms and debris removal contractors with consistent activation history. We're being selective for clients who will become long term partners.
Every operation runs differently. The numbers above are starting points — actual pricing reflects your project mix, scale, and contract structure.
