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
Nedap Livestock Management
- Nedap publishes no pricing whatsoever and sells through dealers, so two comparable farms routinely pay materially different amounts for the same sensors and there is no rate card to argue against.
- A large share of the technology ships inside other manufacturers' branded systems, which means the support you get, the firmware version you run and whether you can access the raw data depend on the badge on the box rather than on Nedap.
- The system needs in-barn antennas, readers and a processing unit installed and commissioned, so the sensor price per cow understates the project cost and retrofitting an existing shed adds cabling work.
- Adding RealTime positioning generally requires more antenna infrastructure than basic heat detection, so a farm that starts cheap and wants positioning later faces a second installation rather than a software toggle.
- Nedap N.V. is a listed company with several unrelated divisions and livestock is one segment among retail, healthcare and security, so roadmap priority for agriculture competes with businesses that have nothing to do with farming.

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.
SourceNedap Livestock Management: Can I buy Nedap direct?
Usually not. It sells through regional dealers and through OEM partners who rebadge the technology, so your quote and your support both come from an intermediary.
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.
SourceNedap Livestock Management: Am I already using Nedap without knowing?
Possibly. Several dairy equipment manufacturers embed Nedap sensing under their own brand names, so check what the tags in your barn actually are before buying a second system.
Nedap Livestock Management: What does RealTime positioning need?
Additional in-barn antenna coverage beyond what basic heat detection requires, which is why it is cheaper to specify at installation than to add later.
Nedap Livestock Management: Does it work with my milking parlour?
It integrates with several major parlour and herd management systems, but the depth varies by partner, so confirm the specific combination before ordering.
