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; WiseConn DropControl the platform runs on WiseConn’s own radio nodes, so the cost is set by how many valves and sensors you want covered and expanding monitoring later means buying more proprietary hardware rather than any third-party sensor.
  • They diverge on capability: 365FarmNet covers Field planning, WiseConn DropControl covers Solar wireless nodes.
  • 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

WiseConn DropControl

  • The platform runs on WiseConn’s own radio nodes, so the cost is set by how many valves and sensors you want covered and expanding monitoring later means buying more proprietary hardware rather than any third-party sensor.
  • No pricing is published in any market, and quotes are produced from a site design, so a grower cannot compare the platform against alternatives without commissioning two designs.
  • Solar nodes need light and battery health management: dense canopy, dusty conditions and long winters degrade reporting, and a node that stops charging is a block you are no longer controlling.
  • It is a private mid-sized company competing against Netafim, Toro and Lindsay, so a grower buying for the fifteen-year life of a permanent planting is taking on more supplier continuity risk than with the larger incumbents.
  • Support quality is uneven across its newer markets: it is well established in Chile and California but only entered Australia in 2021 and Europe in 2022, so buyers in those regions get a thinner installer and spares network.

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
WiseConn DropControl: Does DropControl need wires run to every valve?

No, that is the point of it. Nodes are solar powered and radio linked, which is why it suits retrofits on established orchards.

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
WiseConn DropControl: Can I use third-party sensors?

Some probes and weather stations are supported, but the control and communication layer is WiseConn hardware, so the node network is a lock-in.

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
WiseConn DropControl: What does it cost?

WiseConn does not publish pricing. Quotes come from a site design based on the number of controlled and monitored points.

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
WiseConn DropControl: Where is it best supported?

Chile and California are the strongest markets. Australia and Europe are recent additions with thinner installer networks.
