The short version

  • Only CropTracker Pro has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: CropTracker Pro pricing is not published; 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: CropTracker Pro covers Spray records, 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.

CropTracker Pro

  • Pricing is not published
  • Built for fruit and vegetable growers, particularly orchards, rather than row crop or livestock operations
  • The computer vision modules such as Harvest Quality Vision and Crop Load Vision are separate products alongside the core record keeping

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

CropTracker Pro: What is the base pricing for CropTracker?

CropTracker's base pricing starts at $3,300 USD per year, which includes the first 10 users.

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.

CropTracker Pro: What features are included in the standard CropTracker plan?

The platform includes punch clock labor tracking, spray record keeping, irrigation management, harvest tracking, quality control and GAP audits, shipping and receiving management, and AI-powered vision tools for harvest quality and crop assessment.

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.

CropTracker Pro: Does CropTracker offer enterprise-level solutions?

Yes, CropTracker offers enterprise-level software solutions with custom features including account linking, API integrations, and tailored reporting. Enterprise pricing varies based on client needs.

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.

CropTracker Pro: Are pricing tiers broken down by features?

The pricing page indicates tiered plans exist but does not detail specific tier names or feature breakdowns. Contact CropTracker for information on pricing by features.

Source
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.
