AirOps

Cons

  • Third-party estimates show a large jump from Solo (about $200/month) to Pro (about $2,000/month) with no middle tier.
  • Task-based billing can be hard to predict, with per-task overage charges.
  • Solo only provides ChatGPT insights; multi-engine tracking requires Pro or higher.
