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; Trimble Ag Software agriculture.trimble.com now redirects to the PTx brand site, where PTx is described as bringing together PTx Trimble and Precision Planting and is stated to be a worldwide brand of AGCO Corporation
- They diverge on capability: Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction, Trimble Ag Software covers GPS guidance.
