Waypoint360 vs DroneKeeper
Two French approaches to drone missions: U-space-backed planning at DroneKeeper, multi-country compliance and flight-log sovereignty at Waypoint360.
In short
DroneKeeper, published by Innov'ATM, is a French mission-planning platform operated by a U-space service provider (USSP) certified by the DSAC. It is strong on airspace geovigilance and sending authorization requests (AlphaTango, aerodromes, prefectures).
Waypoint360 also covers planning and prior notices, but extends the scope to multi-country compliance (EASA, FAA, Canada), flight-log ingestion (including DJI) and operator activity management. The choice mainly depends on your need: French U-space, or broad coverage and flight data.
