The short version

  • Each has a real cost: CropX no pricing information is published; customers must request a demo and contact sales.; Farmbrite tiers are capped on active animal counts, so herd growth rather than headcount growth forces an upgrade, and a good calving season can push a farm into the next price band mid-year.
  • They diverge on capability: CropX covers Soil moisture sensing, Farmbrite covers Livestock records.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

CropX

  • No pricing information is published; customers must request a demo and contact sales.
  • Pricing likely depends on number of sensors, fields, farms, and users, but no rate structure is disclosed.

Farmbrite

  • Tiers are capped on active animal counts, so herd growth rather than headcount growth forces an upgrade, and a good calving season can push a farm into the next price band mid-year.
  • The plans are split into separate Livestock, Crop and Complete product lines, so an operation that starts on a crop plan and later adds stock pays the combined rate rather than a small increment.
  • The accounting module is built around United States Schedule F tax reporting, so farms elsewhere get bookkeeping with a tax output they cannot file.
  • There is no precision agriculture layer at all, meaning no machine telemetry, no variable-rate prescriptions and no yield-map import, so anyone running guidance hardware maintains a second platform alongside it.
  • Offline capability in the mobile app is limited, and record keeping in paddocks or sheds without signal ends up being written down and re-entered later, which is exactly the workflow the software is meant to remove.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

CropX: How much does CropX cost?

CropX does not publish pricing online. The company uses a custom, quote-based pricing model. Customers must send a message to request a demo, and the local sales team will provide a customized quote based on their specific farm management needs.

Farmbrite: Does Farmbrite charge per user?

Not on most tiers. Essentials caps team members at five or ten depending on the plan, and Performance and Premium allow unlimited team members. Cost is driven by animal count instead.

CropX: What is CropX's pricing model?

CropX uses a sales-driven, quote-based pricing model for enterprise farm management software. Pricing is customized based on factors like number of sensors, farms, fields, users, and specific feature modules required rather than using standardized tiers.

Source
Farmbrite: Can it replace a precision agriculture platform?

No. There is no equipment telemetry, prescription writing or yield-map import, so it sits alongside those tools rather than replacing them.

Farmbrite: Is there a discount for new farmers?

Yes. Farmbrite publishes discounts of up to 50 percent for three years for new farmers and up to 65 percent for non-profits.

Farmbrite: Can I run both crops and livestock?

Yes, on the Complete plans. The separate Livestock and Crop plans only cover their own side.
