I assume he is talking about Planet Labs (https://www.planet.com/) - a very cool service.

Do you happen to know what the pricing looks like?

Representative pricing for multiple sources including Planet's RapidEye: http://www.landinfo.com/satellite-imagery-pricing.html

Purchasing a before and after image of a specific logging site isn't cheap once you've factored in minimum order sizes, but it isn't unaffordable. Purchasing images to look at deforestation on a national scale (if you're looking at individual trees, not woods; open data will give you the latter) is millions of dollars per annum, but worked very well where tried to prevent illegal vegetation clearing in Australia.

Yes, this is it as far as I can tell.

My guess is likely Planet.
