The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Arable requires the Mark 3 field sensor, so it is a hardware deployment rather than a software subscription; Granular granular is now Granular Insights, a Corteva-owned farm management app; granular.ag is a login-gated JavaScript application requiring browser support (Chrome or Safari), not a marketing site, and support is routed only through Corteva Digital Support rather than a public pricing page.
  • They diverge on capability: Arable covers Weather monitoring, Granular covers Farm financial management.
