01

How much does Apex Terrain cost?

We onboard one operation at a time, so pricing scales with the size of your property, how many people share access, and whether you want the AI to publish plans on the outfitter marketplace. You'll see the exact breakdown — and the deposit rules — on the pricing page before checkout, and the team will line up the right package on a short call.

Operators joining the Q4 cohort lock in early-access rates; after that the price moves to standard list. If your situation does not fit a published tier — a multi-property family, a club that splits a roster across regions, a conservation lease — write to us and we'll quote something that does.

02

What does the AI actually produce for my property?

A biologist-grade habitat plan built from your soil survey, hydrography, browse pressure, cover ratio and use corridors. It opens with a basemap of your parcel, flags the stands it recommends and explains why — then layers the seasonal work list underneath. You can see the exact output on the live Pine Hollow demo without signing in.

Every plan regenerates as new scouting notes and trail-cam drops come in, so the recommendations stay grounded in the field rather than locked at one moment in time. Walk the same five-step flow that produces a plan on /how-it-works — step two is where the plan engine runs.

03

How do invites and shared access work for my hunt club?

Owners issue named invites from the property's invite page — each invite carries a role (co-chair, member, lessee, guest) and a list of layers that role can see. Sensitive data — stand pins, blind coordinates, entry routes — stays guarded behind the owner-only tier by default. Roster changes propagate instantly, and you can revoke a role without touching the rest of the club.

Members accept their invite on the public /invites/[token] landing, which is logged-out-friendly — no account needed until the member wants to contribute scouting data back to the plan. See the full club-sharing flow in /how-it-works, step four.

04

What does the lease generator output?

A printable PDF lease with the same fields attorneys expect — parties, acreage, term, deposit rule, allowed species, harvest limits, liability, signature blocks — filled in from the property's roster and the season settings. Owners edit the template once, then every new lease pulls from the same source of truth instead of a copy-paste Word doc.

The generator runs on a property after you sign in, then drops the PDF straight into the club's shared folder. You can see the workflow in action on /how-it-works, step four — “Sign in to draft a lease for your club.”

05

Which states have regulation coverage?

The launch set covers Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas — sourced summaries of hunting-license types, season dates, and primary links to each state wildlife agency. Browse the full list on the regulations index, or jump straight to Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas.

Season reminders and push alerts run through the regulations page itself — submit your email, pick the state, and we'll surface the date shifts that matter to your hunt calendar. More states are pre-rendered as the wildlife agencies publish their next season set.

06

How does scouting and trail-cam scraping tie in?

Field scouting is the live input layer for the plan. Notes dropped on the property's scouting page — including trail-cam captures imported from most major camera brands — feed the plan engine so cover ratio, browse pressure and use corridors re-rank against what's actually walking the ground, not just what the basemap showed on day one.

See exactly how scouting hooks into the plan on /how-it-works, step two — “Receive the biologist-grade plan.” The capstone demo on /demo shows the re-ranked plan live, with a season strip and stand recommender.
