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; Farmers Edge farmers Edge priced its FarmCommand platform per acre rather than per seat, with tiers from $1.50 CAD per acre for basic imagery-only monitoring up to $6.00 CAD per acre for variable rate fertility prescriptions, meaning cost scales directly with farm size rather than user count (archived pricing page, 5 April 2020)
  • They diverge on capability: Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction, Farmers Edge covers Satellite imagery.
