  • They diverge on capability: Agrivi covers Production planning, Galcon covers Battery DC controllers.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Agrivi

  • No public pricing information disclosed on vendor website
  • Customers must book a meeting with sales team to discuss pricing
  • No pricing tiers, plan names, or trial option details available

Galcon

  • Distribution and support run through regional wholesalers, so in markets where Galcon has no strong distributor you get the hardware and very little else.
  • The cloud software is functional rather than refined, and its third-party integration list is short compared with Hunter Centralus or Rain Bird IQ, which matters if you want irrigation data in a wider asset system.
  • Battery-powered controllers mean battery replacement schedules across a large estate, and a dead battery on a remote valve is a silent failure that shows up as a dead planting bed weeks later.
  • No pricing is published for hardware or cloud subscriptions, and pricing varies by country and wholesaler, so budgeting a municipal rollout requires several quotes.
  • The product range is broad and fragmented across GSI, GSI PRO, Galileo Cloud and legacy timers, which makes it genuinely hard to work out which product line a given site should be on.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Agrivi: How is Agrivi priced?

Agrivi does not publish pricing details publicly. Organizations interested in the platform must book a meeting with the Agrivi sales team to discuss pricing tailored to their specific agricultural operation needs.

Source
Galcon: Do Galcon controllers need mains power?

The DC range does not. They run latching solenoids from internal batteries, which is the main reason they are specified where getting power to the valve is expensive.

Agrivi: Is there a free trial available for Agrivi?

Agrivi does not disclose trial or evaluation options on their public website. Customers must contact the sales team directly to inquire about trial access or platform evaluation capabilities.

Source
Galcon: Is there a cloud subscription?

Yes for the connected GSI and Galileo Cloud products. Terms are quoted by controller count and vary by country along with cellular charges.

Galcon: Can it control fertigation?

Yes. Galcon makes dedicated fertigation and greenhouse climate controllers with EC and pH monitoring, sold as separate systems from the field controllers.

Galcon: How does it compare with Hunter or Rain Bird?

It competes on battery operation and price rather than ecosystem breadth. The American brands have deeper central control software and broader integration.
