The short version
- Each has a real cost: Agrivi no public pricing information disclosed on vendor website; Halter the subscription is permanent and per head, so a 500 cow dairy carries a five-figure annual bill indefinitely and the collars become inert if it lapses; there is no owned-outright end state.
- They diverge on capability: Agrivi covers Production planning, Halter covers Virtual fencing.

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
Halter
- The subscription is permanent and per head, so a 500 cow dairy carries a five-figure annual bill indefinitely and the collars become inert if it lapses; there is no owned-outright end state.
- On-farm tower infrastructure is a separate up-front install cost that is not in the headline per-cow price, and terrain with hills or bush can require more towers than the initial quote assumed.
- Coverage is concentrated in New Zealand, Australia and parts of the United States; buyers elsewhere face no local support, no local install crew and uncertain regulatory acceptance of virtual fencing.
- Virtual fencing is not universally legal or accepted: some jurisdictions and some organic or welfare certification schemes restrict aversive stimulus devices, which can decide eligibility before price is even discussed.
- Total vendor lock-in on collar, towers, app and animal data means there is no second source for a replacement collar and no way to keep the fencing working if the commercial relationship ends.

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.
SourceHalter: Do I buy the collars or rent them?
In practice you are buying into a per-cow monthly subscription plus a one-time install for the towers. The collars are not useful without an active subscription.
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.
SourceHalter: What does it actually cost for 500 cows?
Starting from around NZ$9.90 per cow per month, that is roughly NZ$59,000 a year before the one-time tower infrastructure cost, and it recurs every year.
Halter: Can I finance it?
New Zealand dairy farmers can finance the install through ANZ, ASB, BNZ or Westpac over two years, and paying the subscription up front attracts a discount.
Halter: Does it replace heat detection collars?
Yes on the higher tiers. That is the main reason dairies justify the cost, because it removes a second per-cow system.
