Why operational spend framing matters for airports.
Most GA and municipal airports face capital budget constraints that make large equipment purchases difficult to justify or approve. FODBOT's subscription and lease models are intentionally structured as operating expenses — recurring line items that fit how airport budgets are typically organized.
At $450/month, FODBOT competes directly with what many airports already spend on crew time for routine FOD inspections — except it runs continuously, documents every cycle, and reduces the labor burden on existing staff.
For airports with access to equipment grant funding or capital improvement budgets, the one-time purchase offers full ownership with a lease-to-own credit pathway available to prior lessees.
Setup & Onboarding
All models include setup support. FODBOT team coordinates site assessment, GPS boundary mapping, base station installation, and operator orientation before the unit goes live.
Firmware Updates
Subscription and lease models include ongoing firmware updates throughout the coverage period. One-time purchase includes the first year of updates.
Remote Monitoring & Support
Subscription and lease models include access to remote monitoring and technical support. Response SLA depends on the plan tier.
Lease-to-Own Pathway
Annual lease clients can apply accumulated lease payments toward a one-time purchase. This pathway is available on request and structured case by case.
Hardware Warranty
One-time purchase includes a hardware warranty period. Lease and subscription models cover hardware under the service agreement for the duration of the term.
Extended Support Plans
Optional extended support and on-site service packages are available for purchase clients. Pricing varies by facility location and scope.
