The short version

  • Only AgriWebb has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: AgriWebb priced per head of livestock, so the bill scales with the herd rather than with the features used; DairyComp the command language interface takes weeks to learn and effectively ties the dairy to whichever staff member knows it, so losing a herd manager can strand the herd record until someone else is trained.
  • They diverge on capability: AgriWebb covers Animal inventory management, DairyComp covers Command language reporting.
  • 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.

AgriWebb

  • Priced per head of livestock, so the bill scales with the herd rather than with the features used
  • Available in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States and South Africa only
  • Movement planning and grazing planning are $300 a year each on top of the subscription
  • The Cibo Labs PastureKey add-on starts at $1,000 a year
  • Payments already made are non-refundable on cancellation

DairyComp

  • The command language interface takes weeks to learn and effectively ties the dairy to whichever staff member knows it, so losing a herd manager can strand the herd record until someone else is trained.
  • It is a Windows desktop application at heart rather than a cloud service, so multi-site access, remote working and mobile data entry are bolt-ons rather than native, and back-ups are the dairy's own problem.
  • Zoetis ownership puts a pharmaceutical company in control of every treatment record on the farm and biases the integration roadmap towards Zoetis sensors and services rather than the best available.
  • No pricing is published anywhere, so herd-size-based quotes vary by dealer and there is no way to benchmark what you are being charged without asking neighbouring dairies.
  • It assumes North American dairy conventions, so European dairies dealing with different milk recording bodies, national herd databases and statutory reporting formats find the fit poor and often need local software alongside.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AgriWebb: How does AgriWebb pricing work?

AgriWebb uses variable pricing based on livestock numbers managed (cattle and sheep head count). Pricing is calculated per animal, offering monthly and yearly payment options with discounts for annual billing. No long-term contracts are required.

Source
DairyComp: Who owns DairyComp now?

Zoetis, through its acquisition of Valley Agricultural Software. It sits in the same portfolio as the Smartbow cow monitoring system.

AgriWebb: What are AgriWebb's three subscription tiers?

Essentials includes interactive farm map and basic records. Compliance (marked Most Popular) adds audit compliance, biosecurity tools, treatment records, and NLIS integration. Performance adds weight projections, grazing management, breeding records, financial reporting, and stocking rate analysis.

Source
DairyComp: Is it hard to learn?

Yes, genuinely. It is driven by a typed command language rather than menus, and most new users need weeks of practice before they are productive.

AgriWebb: What add-ons does AgriWebb offer?

Movement Planning costs $300/year on Essentials. Grazing Planning costs $300/year on Performance. Cibo Labs PastureKey starts at $1,000/year on Performance. Pricing is variable based on livestock count across all tiers and add-ons.

Source
DairyComp: Does it run in the cloud?

It is fundamentally a Windows application. Hosted and multi-site arrangements exist but the software is not a browser-native cloud product.

DairyComp: What does it cost?

Nothing is published. Pricing is quoted per dairy based on herd size, plus separate charges for support and for each parlour or meter interface.
