The short version

  • Only OpenWeatherMap has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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; OpenWeatherMap free tier capped at 60 calls/minute and 1,000,000 calls/month
  • They diverge on capability: AgriSync covers Video support, OpenWeatherMap covers Weather API.

  • 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

  • Free tier limited to current weather, 3-hour/5-day forecast, air pollution, 15 map layers, and geocoding only
  • One Call API free allowance is only 1,000 calls/day before pay-per-call charges apply
  • Paid tier (Startup, Developer, Professional, Expert) exact USD prices are not published on the public pricing page
