The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Agworld no prices are published for any of the four tiers; Tend the free tier keeps only three years of history and 500 MB of storage, so a grower who stays on it loses the multi-season comparison that makes crop planning software worth having in the first place.
  • They diverge on capability: Agworld covers Field mapping, Tend covers Visual crop planning.
  • 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

Tend

  • The free tier keeps only three years of history and 500 MB of storage, so a grower who stays on it loses the multi-season comparison that makes crop planning software worth having in the first place.
  • Data retention is a paid feature at every level below Ultimate, which is an unusual thing to meter: a farm that downgrades from Pro to Free after a bad year risks losing records it may need for organic certification audits.
  • There is no machinery, telematics, soil sampling or variable-rate capability at all, so any operation that adds broadacre ground has to run a second platform rather than extend this one.
  • AI features are metered in credits rather than included, and the allowances are small at the lower tiers, so the assistant becomes something you ration rather than rely on.
  • The company is small and privately held with a narrow customer base, which means integrations outside payments and basic accounting are thin and a request for a connector to a regional distributor or certifier is unlikely to be built.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Agworld: What are the main feature differences between Agworld's grower tiers?

Grower Basic focuses on digital record keeping and agronomist connections. Grower Plus (marked as most popular) adds planning, budgeting, gross margin reporting, and satellite imagery. Grower Pro includes machinery integrations, weather station connections, and custom reporting for data-driven operations.

Source
Tend: Does Tend charge by the acre?

No. Pricing is flat by user count, and there are no acreage or crop limits on any tier including the free one. That is the main reason small growers pick it over broadacre platforms.

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
Tend: Can Tend handle a CSA?

Yes, including member share management and a farm-stand storefront, though payment processing runs through a third party.

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
Tend: Is it suitable for a 500 acre grain farm?

No. There is no machinery data, no prescription writing and no as-applied reporting. It is built for high-crop-count, low-acreage operations.

Tend: What happens to my records if I cancel?

Export before you cancel. Retention limits apply per tier, and the free tier keeps three years, so downgrading is not a safe archive strategy.
