The short version

  • Only OneSoil has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Arable requires the Mark 3 field sensor, so it is a hardware deployment rather than a software subscription; OneSoil no price, tier or minimum is published; enterprise access requires scheduling a demo and the only self-serve entry point is a free demo app
  • They diverge on capability: Arable covers Weather monitoring, OneSoil covers Satellite field monitoring.

Arable

  • Requires the Mark 3 field sensor, so it is a hardware deployment rather than a software subscription
  • Pricing is not published and goes through a sales conversation
  • Aimed at enterprise growers and advisors rather than smallholders

OneSoil

  • No price, tier or minimum is published; enterprise access requires scheduling a demo and the only self-serve entry point is a free demo app
  • Field monitoring is satellite based, so the platform provides no in-field sensor or soil measurement of its own
