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; Nofence everything depends on mobile network coverage, so a farm in a signal shadow cannot change boundaries, receive escape alerts or rely on the fence at all, and no amount of spending fixes that.
  • They diverge on capability: AgriWebb covers Animal inventory management, Nofence covers Virtual paddocks.
  • 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

Nofence

  • Everything depends on mobile network coverage, so a farm in a signal shadow cannot change boundaries, receive escape alerts or rely on the fence at all, and no amount of spending fixes that.
  • Collar purchase is a real up-front barrier at roughly $349 a head for cattle, so fencing a 200 cow herd is a five-figure hardware outlay before the first subscription renewal.
  • Battery life depends on daylight and on how often the animal challenges the boundary; a busy animal in a Nordic or British winter runs the collar down faster than the headline figures suggest.
  • Virtual fencing is restricted or unaccepted in some jurisdictions and by some welfare and organic certification schemes, which can rule the product out on eligibility grounds regardless of cost.
  • It is a fencing product first, so herd health, rumination and reproduction monitoring are thin compared with dairy-focused collar systems, and a dairy will still need separate heat detection.

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
Nofence: Do I need towers or a base station?

No. Nofence collars connect to the mobile network directly, which is the main structural difference from tower-based virtual fencing and removes the largest install cost.

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
Nofence: What does the subscription cost after year one?

Roughly $45 per collar per year, dropping to about $35 for herds of 100 or more. Monthly options are around $6.50 and $4.50 per collar.

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
Nofence: Is the first year of subscription really included?

Yes, twelve months of subscription come with each collar purchase, so the first renewal bill arrives a year after install.

Nofence: Will it work for sheep?

Yes, with the smaller collar designed for sheep and goats, though horned and small-framed animals need care with fit.
