Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

AgriSync

  • Acquired by John Deere, and agrisync.com no longer resolves, so it is no longer sold as an independent product
  • Built around advisor-to-farmer support rather than farm record keeping, so it does not replace a farm management system

DroneDeploy

  • Sold as annual subscriptions rather than monthly, at $1,908 a year for the agriculture plan
  • Images per map are capped by plan, at 1,000 on Ag Lite and 3,000 on the general individual plan
  • The Ag Lite plan is limited to the VARI index for RGB plant health rather than the full analysis set
  • Ground capture processing is excluded from every published individual plan
  • Team plans publish no price at all and require a custom quote
