The short version

  • 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; CattleMax priced by active animal count, so the bill grows with the herd rather than with usage
  • They diverge on capability: Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction, CattleMax covers Individual animal records.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
