The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Agrivi no public pricing information disclosed on vendor website; Soil Scout sensors are unserviceable once buried, so a failed or drifting unit means excavation and the confidence you place in a single reading has no easy verification.
  • They diverge on capability: Agrivi covers Production planning, Soil Scout covers Fully buried sensors.
  • 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

Soil Scout

  • Sensors are unserviceable once buried, so a failed or drifting unit means excavation and the confidence you place in a single reading has no easy verification.
  • No pricing is published at all, which makes it hard to justify against commodity probes that quote openly, and per-sensor cost is well above the alternatives.
  • It measures but does not control, so tying moisture readings to actual irrigation decisions requires either manual interpretation or a separate integration project with the control system.
  • Underground radio range depends on soil type and moisture; heavy wet clay attenuates the signal and can force more base stations than the headline kilometre figure suggests.
  • The company is small and Finland-based, so outside its established golf and sports turf distribution the support, spares and installation expertise depend entirely on whether a competent local distributor exists.

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
Soil Scout: How long do the sensors last?

Up to ten years for the Happi100 and up to twenty for the Hydra100, buried, with no battery replacement.

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
Soil Scout: Do the sensors need mobile data plans?

No. Sensors transmit to a base station through the soil, and only the base station uses a cellular modem.

Soil Scout: Can it control irrigation directly?

No. It is a measurement and alerting system; controlling valves needs an integration with your irrigation controller through the API.

Soil Scout: What happens if a buried sensor fails?

You dig it up. There is no remote service option, which is the trade-off for having nothing above ground to damage.
