Secure Payments

Escrow protects everyone

Every job on Droners.us uses secure escrow. Client funds are held safely until work is approved — pilots are guaranteed payment for completed work, clients are guaranteed quality or their money back.

Client funds escrow on hire

When a client selects a pilot, they fund the escrow with the agreed job amount. No money changes hands until work is done.

Pilot completes and delivers

The pilot flies the job and uploads deliverables to the platform. The client receives a notification to review.

Client approves, funds release

Once the client approves the deliverables, escrow releases the payment to the pilot within 1–2 business days.

Dispute resolution if needed

If there's a disagreement, our team reviews the job requirements and deliverables and mediates a fair resolution.
