Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Connecterra

  • Nothing is published as a number: billing is on average yearly herd size but no rate is given at any tier, so a farm cannot estimate the cost before entering a sales process.
  • Connecterra depends entirely on other companies’ data: if a milking or feeding manufacturer restricts its API or prices access, the platform loses a data source it does not control and the farm loses part of its dashboard.
  • The company abandoned its own sensor hardware, which was the original product, so farms that bought Ida collars early found the strategy they invested in discontinued underneath them.
  • Billing on average yearly herd size means a farm that grows mid-contract is charged retrospectively on a number it did not agree at signing, which surprises operations in an expansion phase.
  • It is a small venture-backed Dutch company in a market where the deep-pocketed incumbents are equipment makers who can bundle analytics free with hardware, so the independent layer is structurally the easiest line for a farm to cut.

FieldView Plus

  • FieldView Plus starts at $649 per year while the Basic plan starts at $0.00 per year, so the useful analysis features are all paid
  • Seed Scripts, Enhanced Scripting, Yield Analysis, Field Region Reports, Image-Enhanced Scouting, Field Health Imagery, Manual Scripting, Grain Futures, RemoteView and CloudSync are all excluded from the Basic plan
  • Local on-farm support is excluded from the Basic plan
  • FieldView Drive hardware is a separate purchase and its price is not shown on the pricing page
