Overview

To use Niantic's SDK, you must have a business account. Personal and business accounts are separate account types. You cannot convert a personal account into a business account.

Business accounts are designed for production workflows, shared ownership, and scalable deployment. Business accounts enable cloud processing for large-scale reconstruction, VPS map generation, and the ability to merge scans from multiple team members into a single site output for use with the NSDK.

Use a business account if you are:

  • Scanning large or production-scale environments.
  • Creating and managing VPS-enabled locations.
  • Collaborating with a team.
  • Building client-facing or commercial applications.
  • Managing shared projects across an organization.
Free tier

Business accounts include a free tier with some usage caps including limits on the number of private sites and cloud processing time.

To create a business account:

  1. Navigate to Niantic Spatial.
  2. Select Sign up->.
  3. Enter your first and last name, and your email address.
  4. Choose a sign-up method:
    • Sign up with email to associate your email with your Niantic login.
    • Sign up with Google to authenticate with your Google account.
  5. Select the verification link sent to your email to activate your account. If you don't receive an email, check your spam or junk folder.

Contact Niantic's Sales team if you have questions or need additional capacity for production deployments.
