I paid a lot of money for access to high resolution imagery and the quality is so bad it is useless compared to google earth pro. The website provides no options to cancel / refund and it seems my only choice is to have credit card company reverse payment.
Is this service a scam? Imagery is significantly less resolution than google earth pro

Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that the plan you purchased didn’t meet your expectations.
In regards to the imagery quality, here you can review the PlanetScope technical specifications. Google Earth imagery is arial photography while PlanetScope is satellite imagery, both temporal and spatial resolutions are not comparable as they are two different types of image capture methods.
Additionally, in order to have the maximum available resolution of PlanetScope, please make sure you are downloading the imagery and not simply viewing it on Planet Explorer.
