The short version

  • Each has a real cost: DJI Agriculture pricing is not published for Agras drones; the site directs buyers to authorized regional dealers instead of listing a price; Halter the subscription is permanent and per head, so a 500 cow dairy carries a five-figure annual bill indefinitely and the collars become inert if it lapses; there is no owned-outright end state.
  • They diverge on capability: DJI Agriculture covers Precision spraying, Halter covers Virtual fencing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

DJI Agriculture

  • Farms using agricultural drones for precision spraying and granular spreading over croplandnot Halter

Halter

  • A 600 cow grazing dairy that shifts breaks twice daily and cannot recruit enough staff to do itnot DJI Agriculture
  • A beef ranch fencing off riparian margins and wetlands without building physical fencenot DJI Agriculture
  • A dairy replacing a separate heat detection collar system with one collar that also does fencingnot DJI Agriculture
  • An operation running cell grazing on country where the cost of internal fencing exceeds the collar subscriptionnot DJI Agriculture

Where each one falls short

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

DJI Agriculture

  • Pricing is not published for Agras drones; the site directs buyers to authorized regional dealers instead of listing a price
  • The Agras T50 is stated as only available in selected countries and regions, not sold globally

Halter

  • The subscription is permanent and per head, so a 500 cow dairy carries a five-figure annual bill indefinitely and the collars become inert if it lapses; there is no owned-outright end state.
  • On-farm tower infrastructure is a separate up-front install cost that is not in the headline per-cow price, and terrain with hills or bush can require more towers than the initial quote assumed.
  • Coverage is concentrated in New Zealand, Australia and parts of the United States; buyers elsewhere face no local support, no local install crew and uncertain regulatory acceptance of virtual fencing.
  • Virtual fencing is not universally legal or accepted: some jurisdictions and some organic or welfare certification schemes restrict aversive stimulus devices, which can decide eligibility before price is even discussed.
  • Total vendor lock-in on collar, towers, app and animal data means there is no second source for a replacement collar and no way to keep the fencing working if the commercial relationship ends.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

DJI Agriculture: Are pricing plans published for DJI Agriculture solutions?

No pricing plans or pricing information are available on the DJI Agriculture website. The site focuses on product listings and solutions rather than cost details.

Source
Halter: Do I buy the collars or rent them?

In practice you are buying into a per-cow monthly subscription plus a one-time install for the towers. The collars are not useful without an active subscription.

DJI Agriculture: How do I get pricing for DJI Agriculture products?

DJI directs prospects to visit the DJI Online Store or contact them directly through their contact form for purchasing inquiries and pricing information.

Source
Halter: What does it actually cost for 500 cows?

Starting from around NZ$9.90 per cow per month, that is roughly NZ$59,000 a year before the one-time tower infrastructure cost, and it recurs every year.

DJI Agriculture: What support and resources are available for DJI Agriculture users?

The DJI Agriculture website emphasizes support resources, product documentation, and training materials. Detailed pricing for support plans, training, or services is not published and requires contacting DJI directly.

Source
Halter: Can I finance it?

New Zealand dairy farmers can finance the install through ANZ, ASB, BNZ or Westpac over two years, and paying the subscription up front attracts a discount.

Halter: Does it replace heat detection collars?

Yes on the higher tiers. That is the main reason dairies justify the cost, because it removes a second per-cow system.
