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; fieldmargin per-farm pricing inverts badly at the small end: a 30 hectare holding pays the same as a 3,000 hectare estate, so the effective cost per hectare on a smallholding is many times what a large farm pays.
  • They diverge on capability: 365FarmNet covers Field planning, fieldmargin covers Field mapping.
  • 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

fieldmargin

  • Per-farm pricing inverts badly at the small end: a 30 hectare holding pays the same as a 3,000 hectare estate, so the effective cost per hectare on a smallholding is many times what a large farm pays.
  • It is not an agronomy platform, so there is no variable rate prescription engine and no nutrient planning to a standard a UK agronomist will certify, meaning most arable users still pay for Gatekeeper or an agronomist's own system alongside it.
  • There is no direct submission route into Basic Payment Scheme, Sustainable Farming Incentive or equivalent schemes, so the compliance paperwork that costs farms real money still has to be assembled elsewhere.
  • Machine integration is limited compared with Climate FieldView or Operations Center; as-applied data from the sprayer or drill generally is not flowing in automatically, so application records depend on someone typing them.
  • Satellite NDVI is confined to the top tier and is standard public imagery, so cloud cover in a British winter means long gaps and the imagery is not a substitute for the aircraft or drone capture that specialist providers sell.

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
fieldmargin: Does it charge per hectare?

No. Subscriptions are per farm with unlimited hectares and unlimited team members, which is why it is cheap on large acreages and proportionally expensive on small ones.

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
fieldmargin: Can I submit my BPS or SFI claim from it?

No. It holds the records that support a claim but there is no direct submission integration, so the claim itself is prepared elsewhere.

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
fieldmargin: Does it work without mobile signal?

Yes. The mobile apps capture records offline and sync when the phone regains a connection, which is the main reason it gets used in the far corners of a farm.

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
fieldmargin: Is there a free plan?

There is a 14 day trial rather than a permanently free tier. After that every farm is on a paid plan.
