The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 365FarmNet the platform is being discontinued on 30 November 2026, and the vendor is migrating users to CLAAS connect; Case IH AFS Connect coverage of non-Case IH machinery is thin, so a mixed-colour fleet ends up running two portals and reconciling the data by hand or through a third-party platform.
  • They diverge on capability: 365FarmNet covers Field planning, Case IH AFS Connect covers Machine telemetry.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

365FarmNet

  • The platform is being discontinued on 30 November 2026, and the vendor is migrating users to CLAAS connect
  • Migrating users get CLAAS connect free for one year, after which it is a new licence decision
  • CLAAS connect pricing is not published and goes through dealers
  • Machine management functions are free only when using CLAAS equipment

Case IH AFS Connect

  • Coverage of non-Case IH machinery is thin, so a mixed-colour fleet ends up running two portals and reconciling the data by hand or through a third-party platform.
  • The agronomic side is weaker than software-first platforms: field records, input tracking and compliance reporting are shallower than Agworld or Conservis and most serious growers export to something else.
  • The entry cost is hardware, not software; a Pro 1200 display and receiver retrofit runs into five figures per machine, which is the real barrier for anyone hoping to add the platform to an older tractor.
  • Connectivity Included only applies to qualifying machines from October 2024 onward, so a farm with a five-year-old fleet still faces a per-machine dealer activation fee and older modems may not be eligible at all.
  • Dealer dependency is total: activations, subscription changes and most troubleshooting route through the dealer rather than a self-service portal, which makes response times a function of your local dealership rather than CNH.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

365FarmNet: Is 365FarmNet still available for new users?

No, 365FarmNet is being discontinued on November 30, 2026, and new registrations are no longer possible. Users must transition to CLAAS connect for farm management services.

Source
Case IH AFS Connect: Is AFS Connect the same thing as FieldOps?

FieldOps is the rebuilt CNH portal and app that AFS Connect accounts have been migrating into. The underlying machine connectivity is the same; the branding and interface changed.

365FarmNet: Do 365FarmNet users get free access to CLAAS connect?

Yes, 365FarmNet customers receive one year of complimentary CLAAS connect service with full functionality included in a transition contract. After one year, the contract automatically renews at standard CLAAS connect pricing.

Source
Case IH AFS Connect: Do I still pay an annual subscription?

Not on qualifying machines built and purchased from 1 October 2024, where connectivity is included. Older machines with a compatible modem can be activated through a dealer for a one-time fee.

365FarmNet: What's free and what costs money in CLAAS connect?

Machine Management functions are free with every CLAAS machine purchase. Farm Management functions require a separate operating license (Betriebs-lizenz) with three types available: Farm connect, Fleet connect, and Field connect. Specific pricing for licenses is not published; customers must use the configurator tool or contact CLAAS dealers for quotes.

Source
Case IH AFS Connect: Can I use it with John Deere or New Holland machines in the same fleet?

Not natively in any useful way. New Holland shares CNH infrastructure but sits in its own portal, and Deere data has to come in through API sharing or a third-party farm management platform.

365FarmNet: How do I get a price quote for CLAAS connect licenses?

Use the CLAAS connect configurator tool available on the site to select license types (Farm connect, Fleet connect, or Field connect), or contact CLAAS dealers directly for customized pricing quotes.

Source
Case IH AFS Connect: What does it cost to add to a used tractor?

The subscription may be cheap or free, but the display, receiver and modem retrofit are the cost, and those are quoted per machine by the dealer into five figures.
