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; Farmbrite tiers are capped on active animal counts, so herd growth rather than headcount growth forces an upgrade, and a good calving season can push a farm into the next price band mid-year.
  • They diverge on capability: 365FarmNet covers Field planning, Farmbrite covers Livestock records.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 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

Farmbrite

  • Tiers are capped on active animal counts, so herd growth rather than headcount growth forces an upgrade, and a good calving season can push a farm into the next price band mid-year.
  • The plans are split into separate Livestock, Crop and Complete product lines, so an operation that starts on a crop plan and later adds stock pays the combined rate rather than a small increment.
  • The accounting module is built around United States Schedule F tax reporting, so farms elsewhere get bookkeeping with a tax output they cannot file.
  • There is no precision agriculture layer at all, meaning no machine telemetry, no variable-rate prescriptions and no yield-map import, so anyone running guidance hardware maintains a second platform alongside it.
  • Offline capability in the mobile app is limited, and record keeping in paddocks or sheds without signal ends up being written down and re-entered later, which is exactly the workflow the software is meant to remove.

Not on most tiers. Essentials caps team members at five or ten depending on the plan, and Performance and Premium allow unlimited team members. Cost is driven by animal count instead.

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.

Farmbrite: Can it replace a precision agriculture platform?

No. There is no equipment telemetry, prescription writing or yield-map import, so it sits alongside those tools rather than replacing them.
