The short version

  • Only AccuWeather has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AccuWeather free API tier limited to 500 calls/day (14-day trial), forcing quick upgrade to paid plans; Ag-Analytics the vendor's homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 16 June 2019 offered the Profit Layers tool as a 30 day free trial then a monthly subscription billed at $0.01 per acre; this capture is over five years old and should be treated as historical, not current pricing
  • They diverge on capability: AccuWeather covers RealFeel temperature, Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction.
