The short version

  • Only Tend has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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; Tend the free tier keeps only three years of history and 500 MB of storage, so a grower who stays on it loses the multi-season comparison that makes crop planning software worth having in the first place.
  • They diverge on capability: DJI Agriculture covers Precision spraying, Tend covers Visual crop planning.
  • 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 Tend

Tend

  • A three-acre market garden running weekly lettuce successions that needs the seeding calendar to generate itself from the harvest targetnot DJI Agriculture
  • A cut-flower farm planning bed space against wedding orders months aheadnot 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

Tend

  • The free tier keeps only three years of history and 500 MB of storage, so a grower who stays on it loses the multi-season comparison that makes crop planning software worth having in the first place.
  • Data retention is a paid feature at every level below Ultimate, which is an unusual thing to meter: a farm that downgrades from Pro to Free after a bad year risks losing records it may need for organic certification audits.
  • There is no machinery, telematics, soil sampling or variable-rate capability at all, so any operation that adds broadacre ground has to run a second platform rather than extend this one.
  • AI features are metered in credits rather than included, and the allowances are small at the lower tiers, so the assistant becomes something you ration rather than rely on.
  • The company is small and privately held with a narrow customer base, which means integrations outside payments and basic accounting are thin and a request for a connector to a regional distributor or certifier is unlikely to be built.

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
Tend: Does Tend charge by the acre?

No. Pricing is flat by user count, and there are no acreage or crop limits on any tier including the free one. That is the main reason small growers pick it over broadacre platforms.

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
Tend: Can Tend handle a CSA?

Yes, including member share management and a farm-stand storefront, though payment processing runs through a third party.

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
Tend: Is it suitable for a 500 acre grain farm?

No. There is no machinery data, no prescription writing and no as-applied reporting. It is built for high-crop-count, low-acreage operations.

Tend: What happens to my records if I cancel?

Export before you cancel. Retention limits apply per tier, and the free tier keeps three years, so downgrading is not a safe archive strategy.
