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; MeteoGroup the vendor's own domain (meteogroup.com), as captured by the Internet Archive on 29 December 2021, redirects to and displays DTN's own corporate site listing DTN's weather and agriculture product lines (ClearAg, WeatherSentry, ProphetX), confirming in the vendor's own pages that MeteoGroup now operates under the DTN brand with no independent MeteoGroup pricing surviving; no dollar figures were found on the DTN page
  • They diverge on capability: Arable covers Weather monitoring, MeteoGroup covers European forecasts.
