TL;DR: Perseus Defense does not publish a price list we can verify, which is normal for Industrials companies at this stage. Below: what we can confirm, how to get a real quote, and 8 comparable tools to benchmark the number against.
What is verifiable about Perseus Defense pricing, how to get a real quote, and 8 comparable tools to price it against.

Not in any source we can verify. Perseus Defense is a Y Combinator-backed Industrials company from the Summer 2025 batch, and companies at this stage usually quote per customer rather than publish rate cards. We will not guess at a number — anything quoted elsewhere without a source is guesswork too. The company profile we work from is the Y Combinator listing; the current figure has to come from Perseus Defense directly.
These are the closest comparable tools, matched on what Perseus Defense actually does. Price each one alongside it — stage and team size are a reasonable proxy for where a vendor sits on price.
| Compare against | What it does | Stage | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
| ThereCraft | — | YC Summer 2017 | 1 |
| Maquoketa Research | The intelligence layer for drones | YC Spring 2026 | 5 |
| Boost Biomes | — | YC Summer 2019 | 12 |
| Arc | aerial videography | YC Summer 2012 | 2 |
| Albacore Inc. | Drone submarines | YC Summer 2025 | 18 |
| lvl5 | HD maps for self-driving cars. | YC Winter 2017 | 6 |
| Ares Industries | Building low-cost cruise missiles | YC Summer 2024 | 2 |
| Guardian RF | Drone detection for US defense and national security | YC Summer 2024 | 15 |
That depends on a number we cannot see, so judge it on what we can: Perseus Defense is currently Active with a team of around 3. A small team means faster support and more negotiating room, but more risk of the product changing direction. A larger or public vendor costs more and moves slower. If price is the deciding factor, the earlier-batch companies in the table are usually the ones still competing on it.
