I haven't tried the commercial packages, but Meshroom is really impressive.
With enough drone pics of a building, it's pretty much:
- launch meshroom
- throw pics in there
- press the "run" button
- come back 3/4 hours later
- load hi-rez fully textured model into blender
- bit of cleanup
- render
In particular, in the last step, you can do orthographic renderings that look like architect plans.
I highly recommend Meshroom. In particular, unlike many photogrammetry software I used before, my experience has been that there is almost no tweaking required.
The only minor gripe: the models come out a bit "heavy" by default (in some places, too much geometry).
