Propeller alternative

The SiteLive alternative to Propeller

Propeller is the benchmark for drone surveying — accurate 3D terrain, volumes and progress for quarries and earthworks. If you're evaluating alternatives for drone survey & 3d site data, here is what SiteLive does differently — fairly stated, so you can choose with your eyes open.

Why teams look for a Propeller alternative

Most teams don't switch because their current tool is bad — they switch because the work outgrows it. The common thread we hear: records live in one system, the programme in another, the claim in a third, and nothing proves anything when a dispute lands. SiteLive was built as one operating system where the records generate themselves from the work and stand up as evidence.

What Propeller does well

  • Survey-grade drone processing with AeroPoints
  • Polished 3D terrain viewer
  • Strong quarry/earthworks pedigree

What SiteLive does differently

  • Survey truth inside the operating system: stockpiles reconcile to the weighbridge, haul roads check against site limits
  • Earned accuracy grades (verified / indicative / visual) follow every number into claims
  • QuarryLive rules engine turns surveys into decisions, not just pictures
  • One subscription covers survey, safety, labour, supply and claims

Try it against your current setup

The honest way to evaluate an alternative is side by side on a live job. SiteLive's 7-day free trial gives you the full platform — set up a project, run a week of sign-ons, bookings and captures, and see what the records look like at the end of it.
