The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AgriSync acquired by John Deere, and agrisync.com no longer resolves, so it is no longer sold as an independent product; 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: AgriSync covers Video support, Farmers Edge covers Satellite imagery.
