Announcement! We are moving all our applications to the credit based billing.

You may have noticed that the Mapflow credits which can be bought online and used in web version of the platform, are not applicable to Mapflow QGIS and API, where we measure processing in square kilometers and need to transfer credits to area manually.

To make it consistent and more flexible we have united the billing system for Web and QGIS / API moving to credits for all our users (except for selected commercial clients who are specifically assigned to area-based billing). This means the following:
☑️ your credits will be visible in Mapflow QGIS and will be spent on processing
☑️ you will see the actual cost of the processing in the plugin before the launch of the processing
☑️ cost calculation breakdown documentation is updated at https://docs.mapflow.ai/userguides/prices.html
☑️ “Free” starter square kilometers in Mapflow QGIS will be discarded in favor of credits that are on you account, but if you have purchased a processing area for API/QGIS in square km, they will be converted back to credits
❗️ You should upgrade to Mapflow-QGIS 2.0.0, older versions are not compatible with the new API.

One of the main advantages of the integrated billing is that from now on you will be able to spend your credits for the processing of commercial satellite imagery starting from the minimum package of $50. (See more in docs about calculation of data prices)

This is yet a long way to get to the full integration of the web- and gis- UX, as currently model options selection is not available in QGIS but in web, and some of the models are web-only or QGIS-only, so we are working on it to make your experience with the Mapflow platform even more seamless.

This change will take effect today, 22 June 2023, 22-24 GMT. If you have any questions or problems, feel free to contact our support ([email protected]) at any time.

Mapflow – QGIS 1.8.0 released (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/mapflow/version/1.8.0/). 🎉

Upgrade to the newest version if you already use this plugin.

What's new?

* Updated UI. We added a sidebar which makes it easier to set up processing. Yes, we know it would be better to dock this widget in QGIS - looking forward to enabling it soon
* "Rate processing" function - the same as in the Web Ui. Will make user feedback more consistent.
* We removed "Sentinel Fields" model as it was too experimental and provided unstable results. Please apply to us if you need this or some custom models with Mapflow
* Some minor improvements with user data validation
* Enabled zoom to raster XYZ layer given its AOI extent
* Enabled necessary features to work under team accounts (Are you using Mapflow for your professional work? Maybe it's time to contact us and request to create an account for your organization 😉)

Towards the global Buildings model!

You may have noticed that our models perform differently in different regions. The reason is that land cover and urban patterns are so different on our Earth that no existing model can comprehend them all.
Today we step forward in our Buildings model development, introducing our new region-specific model selection! When you launch the processing, the actual regional model is selected based on your area of interest.
Currently, there are 3 global regions and 3 corresponding Building segmentation models, which will be further improved.

All models are now acting as a single 🏠 Buildings model at both web and QGIS. Try to reprocess your area if you weren't satisfied with the results and don't forget to send us your feedback from ⭐️ to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And if you need to customize the model further to even better meet your requirements, contact us at [email protected] for a demo or a custom plan (https://mapflow.ai/pricing)
