Sentinel Hub

Sentinel Hub is a cloud-based API that makes it easier to tap into the satellite imagery. The service offers a unified and easily integrated service that makes it easy to access and use satellite data from sources like Sentinels and Landsat.

Sentinel Hub is geared for remote sensing applications, with a variety of features to help with everything from casual data exploration to custom scripting and analysis. The service is geared for those who need global coverage, imagery at different scales, preconfigured Earth observation products and multi-temporal processing.

The service also comes with a tool called EO Browser that lets you browse and compare full-resolution imagery from different data sets. It's good for generating time-lapses, statistical information services and custom visualizations. You can download high-resolution imagery and even generate 3D views.

Sentinel Hub is designed to be practical, with Sentinel Hub handling chores like synchronization, storage, processing and decompression algorithms so you can concentrate on your analysis and applications.

Sentinel Hub pricing depends on how much processing and data you need. The free tier has limited processing units and requests, but the Exploration plan (30 EUR/month) offers more. The Basic plan (100 EUR/month) and Enterprise plans (500 EUR/month and 1,000 EUR/month) offer more processing units and requests. Custom plans are available for specific needs.

If you're using Sentinel Hub for noncommercial purposes or for media, the service is free to use, and you can download data under a CC BY 4.0 license. Sentinel Hub subscribers can use licenses that come with their subscription.

Sentinel Hub has won some awards, including European EO Company of the Year 2018 and the overall winner of the 2016 Copernicus Masters.
