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; Datamars Livestock the software exists to sell tags, readers and scales, so its feature depth in breeding, financials and grazing planning is well short of dedicated herd management systems.
  • They diverge on capability: AgriWebb covers Animal inventory management, Datamars Livestock covers EID and visual tag management.
  • 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

Datamars Livestock

  • The software exists to sell tags, readers and scales, so its feature depth in breeding, financials and grazing planning is well short of dedicated herd management systems.
  • A migration to new cloud software is scheduled from January 2026 for Tru-Test indicator and reader customers, which puts historical Data Link desktop records at risk if they are not exported deliberately before support changes.
  • Hardware lock-in is real: the automatic capture that makes the platform useful depends on Datamars and Tru-Test devices, and a farm with Gallagher scales gets a much thinner experience.
  • Software being bundled with hardware means it has never been priced or sold on its own merits, so there is no published cost, no clear upgrade path and no leverage if the bundling arrangement changes.
  • Traceability support is country-specific and uneven, so a farm outside the main New Zealand, Australian, UK and North American markets may find its national scheme is not directly supported and needs manual file preparation.

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
Datamars Livestock: Do I have to pay for the software?

It has historically been included with purchase of Datamars and Tru-Test hardware. The January 2026 cloud migration is the point at which to confirm what the ongoing terms are.

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
Datamars Livestock: What happens to my Data Link records?

They need to be migrated to the new cloud platform. Export your historical weigh sessions before the transition rather than assuming everything carries across.

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
Datamars Livestock: Will it work with Gallagher scales?

Not natively in the way it works with Tru-Test hardware. You lose the automatic session sync that is the main reason to use it.

Datamars Livestock: Does it handle NAIT and NLIS?

Yes, for New Zealand and Australia respectively, generating movement and identification records from the same EID scans used for weighing.
