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; GEA DairyNet the value depends on GEA hardware, so a barn with mixed-vendor parlours, sensors or feeders loses most of the native integration that justifies the software.
  • They diverge on capability: AgriWebb covers Animal inventory management, GEA DairyNet covers Herd module.
  • 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

GEA DairyNet

  • The value depends on GEA hardware, so a barn with mixed-vendor parlours, sensors or feeders loses most of the native integration that justifies the software.
  • Nothing is published: not module prices, not per-animal rates, not installation costs, so every comparison against DeLaval or Lely requires a dealer quote and there is no way to sanity check it.
  • Per-module per-animal pricing is granular but also means costs climb quietly as you add modules and grow the herd, and the monthly cancellation option does not help once the barn depends on a module.
  • It is a successor to DairyPlan C21 rather than a rewrite of the category, so dairies migrating carry across conventions and data structures that predate cloud software and the transition itself needs dealer time.
  • GEA sells only through authorised partners, so support quality, installation competence and how quickly you get a fault fixed are determined by your regional dealer rather than by GEA.

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
GEA DairyNet: Does DairyNet replace DairyPlan C21?

Yes. It is the successor product, built on the same decades of DairyPlan development but restructured into cloud-connected modules.

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
GEA DairyNet: How is it priced?

Per module, with each module priced on the number of animals actually using that module's functions. Modules can be cancelled monthly. No rates are published.

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
GEA DairyNet: Will it work with non-GEA milking equipment?

Basic herd records will, but the sensor, robot and parlour integrations that make it worth buying are GEA-specific.

GEA DairyNet: Is the software cost the main expense?

No. The one-time investment in sensors, system technology and installation is the larger figure, and it is quoted separately by the sales partner.
