What you would be giving up
Netafim NetBeat is most often brought in for a new orchard planting netafim drip that wants scheduling and fertigation designed in from the start, a grower under a water allocation who needs per-block application records for the regulator, a vine operation trying to reduce fertiliser cost by dosing to crop stage rather than a fixed programme, a block with a persistent emitter clogging problem where flow deviation alerts find it before yield drops. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Netafim NetBeat is broadly right and the question is cost, the Netafim NetBeat pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Agriculture category lists everything the directory holds, and best agriculture tools ranks them.
Netafim NetBeat runs on web, ios, android. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
