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; Lindsay FieldNET the subscription is per pivot per year and permanent, so a thirty pivot farm carries roughly a five-figure annual bill on top of the retrofit hardware and never owns the capability outright.
  • They diverge on capability: DJI Agriculture covers Precision spraying, Lindsay FieldNET covers Pivot Watch.
  • 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 Lindsay FieldNET

Lindsay FieldNET

  • A farm with Valley, Reinke and Zimmatic pivots that wants one app instead of three vendor systemsnot DJI Agriculture
  • An operation with pivots an hour apart where a physical check costs half a daynot DJI Agriculture

  • A manager who needs an alert the moment a pivot stops overnight rather than at dawnnot 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

Lindsay FieldNET

  • The subscription is per pivot per year and permanent, so a thirty pivot farm carries roughly a five-figure annual bill on top of the retrofit hardware and never owns the capability outright.
  • The Pivot Control retrofit is around $1,700 a unit before installation, which on an older or low-value pivot can approach a meaningful fraction of what the machine is worth.
  • FieldNET Advisor is priced separately from control, so the scheduling intelligence that justifies the platform is an additional line item rather than part of the subscription.
  • Cellular coverage decides whether it works; pivots in a coverage hole get intermittent control and alerts, which is the worst possible failure mode for a system you have stopped driving out to check.
  • Support and installation run through Lindsay dealers, so a farm in a territory with a weak dealer gets slow retrofits and slow fault resolution regardless of what the platform can do.
