How Much Does onX Hunt Cost in 2026?

Short answer: onX Hunt runs from free to $99.99 per year in 2026. There's a free Basic membership, Premium at $34.99/yr for one state of land-ownership data, Premium Two-State at $49.99/yr, and Elite at $99.99/yr (or $14.99/mo) for all 50 states plus Canada. A 7-day free trial unlocks everything, including Elite tools.

Here's the full breakdown — what each tier actually gets you, where the price is justified, and where it isn't.

01onX Hunt pricing at a glance (2026)

Prices are from onX's own pricing page as of July 2026. Paying monthly for Elite costs $179.88/yr — onX's own math ("save $80 annually") tells you the annual plan is the only sensible way to buy it.

There's also a 7-day free trial that unlocks all features, including the Elite-only tools, so you can pressure-test the app on your actual hunting ground before paying.

02What the free Basic tier actually includes

Yes, onX Hunt has a free tier — a common misconception is that it doesn't. Basic lets you use the core map and keeps any waypoints, routes, lines, shapes, and tracks you've created. Hunting unit (GMU) layers are available free as well.

What Basic does not include is the stuff most people buy onX for:

• Property lines and land-ownership data
• Landowner names and info
• Offline maps
• Most of the map layer library

In practice, Basic works as a waypoint notebook and unit-boundary reference. If you hunt public land in the West and need to know exactly where a boundary sits — or you're knocking on doors for permission in the Midwest — Basic won't get you there.

03Premium: $34.99/yr for one state

Premium is the entry point for the features onX is famous for: parcel boundaries, landowner information, offline maps, and the bulk of the layer library — but only for a single state you pick. Hunt two states and you'll need the $49.99 Two-State plan; hunt three and you're staring at Elite.

For a hunter who works one state and mainly needs to answer "whose land is this, and where's the line?", Premium is the honest sweet spot of the lineup.

04Elite: $99.99/yr — and where the tools got fenced

Elite covers all 50 states plus Canada, which matters for out-of-state applicants, border-country hunters, and anyone running a multi-state season.

But Elite is also where onX has parked its newest scouting tech. Two features worth knowing about are Elite-only:

• Trail Camera Analysis — onX automatically analyzes synced trail-camera images, filters out non-deer photos, places photos on your map, and charts movement trends by time of day, day of week, and historical wind at the camera site. It integrates with camera brands like Moultrie and Bushnell.
• Deer Movement Forecasts — predicted deer activity, also gated to Elite.

So the AI trail-camera features that hunters increasingly ask about aren't a Premium perk — they're bundled into the $99.99/yr tier whether or not you need nationwide maps.

05Is onX Hunt worth it?

Depends entirely on what you're buying it for.

Where onX earns the money: land-ownership data. It is genuinely best-in-class — the parcel boundaries, landowner info, and public/private overlays are the industry standard, and for western public-land hunting or permission-based access in farm country, that data alone can be worth $34.99 for your state. Nobody should pretend otherwise. If boundary confidence is your core problem, onX Premium is a fair buy.

Where it's harder to justify: paying $99.99/yr primarily for trail-camera analysis and deer forecasts. If you already know whose land you're hunting — your own ground, a family farm, a lease you've held for years — the ownership layer is dead weight, and you're effectively paying Elite money for the scouting tools stacked on top.

The trial tip: use the 7-day free trial during a real scouting week, not a random one. Sync your cameras, mark your boundaries, and see which tier's features you actually touched by day seven.

06The free alternative for trail-camera AI

If the Elite-only trail-camera analysis is the feature pulling you toward $99.99/yr, it's worth knowing that Trail Pro Intel does AI trail-camera analysis on its free plan — drop in your SD card and it auto-tags 50+ species, scores antler class, and recognizes individual bucks across photo sets. The full app is free to use, with offline maps and field notes included; Pro adds longer Hunt Forecasts and monthly AI credits for $1.99/mo or $19.99/yr — a fraction of Elite pricing.

To be fair in the other direction: Trail Pro Intel doesn't do land-ownership data. If property lines are why you're shopping, onX still wins that fight outright. The realistic setup for a lot of hunters is Premium for boundaries in their home state plus a free AI trail-cam workflow — instead of Elite for everything.

07Bottom line

• onX Hunt in 2026: free Basic, $34.99/yr Premium (1 state), $49.99/yr Two-State, $99.99/yr Elite ($14.99/mo).
• The free tier exists but excludes property lines and offline maps.
• Trail Camera Analysis and Deer Movement Forecasts are Elite-only.
• Buy onX for the land-ownership data — it's the best there is. Think twice before buying Elite just for the scouting tools, because free alternatives cover that ground.
