The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Bushel Farm actual pricing figures not published on website; Teralytic the company is reported at around six employees, so if it stops trading the buried probes become inert hardware, which is the single biggest risk in a multi-year soil sensing deployment.
  • They diverge on capability: Bushel Farm covers Field management, Teralytic covers Wireless NPK sensing.
  • 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.

Bushel Farm

  • Actual pricing figures not published on website
  • Vendor mentions subscription tiers named Lite, Essentials, and standard but displays no prices
  • Requires contacting sales or using form to view pricing details

Teralytic

  • The company is reported at around six employees, so if it stops trading the buried probes become inert hardware, which is the single biggest risk in a multi-year soil sensing deployment.
  • No current pricing is published and reported figures have moved between roughly 300 and 500 US dollars per probe per year, so a buyer cannot model the cost of a hundred-probe deployment without a quote.
  • The subscription is mandatory for the probe to report at all, so the up-front hardware payment buys nothing durable and a lapsed account means a field full of dead instruments.
  • In-field NPK sensing is scientifically contested and readings need interpretation against soil type and calibration, so agronomists will not treat the numbers as interchangeable with a lab test and many will insist on both.
  • Spatial coverage is the unsolved problem: a probe measures one point, soil varies over metres, and covering a field properly multiplies both the hardware and the annual subscription by the number of zones you care about.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Bushel Farm: What is Bushel's pricing model?

Bushel offers tiered subscription plans called Lite, Essentials, and standard options. Specific pricing is not published on the website and requires requesting a quote.

Source
Teralytic: Can I buy the probe without a subscription?

No. The probe reports through Teralytic’s network into its cloud, and without an active subscription it does not deliver data.

Bushel Farm: Does Bushel offer a free trial?

Yes, Bushel provides a 30-day free trial that allows farmers to test all features before committing to a subscription plan.

Source
Teralytic: Does it replace lab soil tests?

No. It gives continuous in-season trend data. Most agronomists will still want lab results for absolute nutrient values and for compliance records.

Bushel Farm: Can I see Bushel's pricing before contacting sales?

No, Bushel does not publish specific pricing tiers, rates, or features online. To view pricing, you must click through to the pricing page or contact the sales team directly.

Source
Teralytic: How much does it cost?

Teralytic does not publish current pricing. Reported figures have ranged from roughly 300 to 500 US dollars per probe per year including hardware and connectivity.

Teralytic: How many probes does a field need?

That depends on soil variability. One probe represents one point, so a field with several distinct soil zones needs one per zone to be meaningful.
