The short version

  • Only Agworld has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Agworld no prices are published for any of the four tiers; 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: Agworld covers Field mapping, 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.

Agworld

  • No prices are published for any of the four tiers
  • Planning, budgeting and margin reporting need Grower Plus; machinery integrations and weather stations need Grower Pro
  • The trial is 7 days, after which the account drops to read-only unless you subscribe
  • Basic covers record keeping and compliance only

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

Grower Pro includes machinery integrations, weather station connections, and custom reporting for data-driven operations.

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.

Agworld: How can I try Agworld before committing to a subscription?

Agworld offers a 7-day free trial with full Pro feature access and no credit card required. After the trial ends, users retain read-only access to their data without subscribing.

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.

Agworld: Is there an Enterprise plan available for larger farming operations?

Yes, an Enterprise plan is available for large-scale operations. Interested customers should contact Agworld directly through their website's contact form to discuss custom Enterprise pricing and features.

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.
