CattleMax

  • Priced by active animal count, so the bill grows with the herd rather than with usage
  • The Registered plan costs more than Commercial at every band, from $16 against $12 a month
  • Operations above 2,000 animals move to custom pricing
  • Support is Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm Central only
  • Cows and calves count separately toward the animal limit

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
