The short version

  • Only Carrot Weather has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Carrot Weather most advanced weather data sources (AccuWeather, The Weather Channel, Aeris Weather, Netatmo personal stations) and map layers (lightning, alerts, wind, humidity, dew point, snow depth) are locked behind paid Premium/Ultrapremium Club subscriptions, not included in the base app
  • They diverge on capability: Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction, Carrot Weather covers Personality modes.
