onX offers two types of subscriptions depending on how the product is being used: Consumer subscriptions and Business licenses.
The correct option depends on whether the account is being used for personal recreation or for work-related purposes. Many onX users are individuals using the app for their own outdoor activities, while others rely on onX as part of their professional responsibilities.
This article explains the difference so you can choose the option that best fits your needs.
Consumer Subscriptions
Consumer subscriptions are designed for personal recreational use. These memberships are intended for individuals using onX for activities such as:
Hunting
Off-roading
Hiking
Exploring public and private land
Personal trip planning
Consumer subscriptions are licensed for one individual user and are meant for personal use only. These memberships should not be used for business operations, field work, or shared across multiple users within an organization.
Examples of consumer subscriptions include:
onX Hunt Premium
onX Hunt Elite
onX Offroad Premium
onX Offroad Elite
onX Backcountry Premium
onX Backcountry Elite

Business Licenses
A Business license is required when onX is being used as part of a job, organization, or professional service.
Common use cases include:
Government agencies
Law enforcement
Land management
Utilities and infrastructure work
Forestry and environmental services
Field teams or staff members
Companies using onX for operational purposes
Business licenses are designed for organizations that manage multiple users, but they can also be used by individual professionals who use onX for work purposes.
For example, a Business license may be appropriate if:
You use onX as part of your job responsibilities
Your employer requires a properly licensed work account
You need to purchase with tax exemption
You are operating as a contractor or professional using onX in the field
Business licenses provide tools to manage users and licensing through the onX Admin Console, including:
Assigning licenses to team members
Transferring licenses when staffing changes
Managing users within your organization
Each application access (Hunt, Offroad, etc.) counts as one license allocation per user.
