Groundtie comes in two plans: Solo, which is free forever, and Crew, a paid plan for teams running several jobs at once. Every account starts on Solo — upgrade to Crew whenever you need more projects, more teammates, exports, or DXF overlays.
Solo — Free
Solo gives a single surveyor everything needed to tie and visualize one site, at no cost.
- 1 project
- Team up to 6 — 1 admin plus up to 5 members
- Coordinate-tie — the 4-parameter Helmert transform with residuals and RMS
- Coordinate conversion & inspector — building grid, projected, and lat-long
- CSV / LandXML point import
- 3D Cesium visualization
Solo does not include exports, DXF overlays, or the Crew modules (Field Exchange, Utility Records, Surfaces, Site Analysis). If a Crew subscription lapses and the org is over the Solo caps (more than 1 project, or more than 6 members), the account becomes read-only until usage is brought back within the caps or the subscription is renewed.
Crew — $39/mo or $399/yr
Crew unlocks the full toolkit for a growing team. The yearly plan is the best value, saving roughly 15% over paying monthly.
Everything in Solo, plus:
- Unlimited projects
- Unlimited admins & members
- CSV / LandXML & full project exports
- DXF overlays in the 3D view
- Field Exchange — native field-app formats & as-built QC
- Utility Records — as-built utilities in 3D + a durable archive
- Surfaces — TIN surfaces, contours & cut/fill volumes
- Site Analysis — turning-radius swept paths on the survey
How billing works
Billing is handled securely by Stripe — Groundtie never stores card details. An organization admin can start, change, or cancel a subscription from Settings → Billing inside the app, which opens Stripe Checkout or the Stripe customer portal.
Prices are shown in USD. Choosing the yearly cadence bills once a year at $399; the monthly cadence bills $39 each month. You can switch between cadences or cancel at any time from the billing portal.
