Pylon's pricing is one of its most attractive features, and notably similar to Solar Proof's, which makes this a rare comparison where price isn't the deciding factor. Both use a per-project model from around four dollars. Here's exactly how Pylon pricing works in 2026 and how to think about it next to the alternatives.
How much does Pylon cost?
Pylon uses per-project pricing, roughly four dollars per project on its Standard tier and around ten dollars per project on Pro, with no forced monthly subscription. You pay as you design, and the per-project price includes unlimited users and high-resolution imagery, which is a genuinely generous structure for teams. Confirm current exact figures with Pylon, as tiers can change.
What does the Pylon per-project price include?
The per-project fee is close to all-inclusive, which is part of its appeal. It covers the design, the proposal, single-line diagrams, shading analysis and high-resolution imagery, with unlimited users on the account rather than per-seat charges. The Pro tier adds more advanced capability for a higher per-project rate. You're paying per job rather than per person, which suits teams of any size.
Is per-project pricing better than a subscription?
For most installers with variable volume, yes, and it's why both Pylon and Solar Proof use it. Per-project pricing means you only pay when you're quoting work, so quiet months cost nothing, unlike a fixed subscription. It rewards businesses whose volume fluctuates and removes the risk of paying for idle capacity. Very high, steady volume is the one case where a capped subscription can occasionally work out cheaper.
How does Pylon pricing compare to Solar Proof?
They're closely matched, which is unusual. Solar Proof is also per-project from around four dollars (first projects free), with an optional Pro plan from about ninety-nine dollars per month for installers who'd rather a flat fee, and STCs, the Federal Battery Rebate and AS/NZS 5033 SLDs built in. Since price is a near-tie, the decision comes down to features, proposal flexibility and commercial depth, not cost. See the full Solar Proof vs Pylon comparison.
The bottom line
Pylon pricing is per-project from around four dollars, with no monthly commitment and unlimited users, a fair, team-friendly model. Because Solar Proof's pricing is so similar, price won't decide between them; let the proposal flexibility, shading and commercial capability be the tiebreaker instead.
