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; 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: DJI Agriculture covers Precision spraying, Teralytic covers Wireless NPK sensing.
  • 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 Teralytic

Teralytic

  • A research trial that needs continuous nitrogen readings between sampling dates rather than two lab tests a seasonnot DJI Agriculture
  • A vegetable grower on sandy ground where leaching after rain makes a fortnightly lab test worthlessnot DJI Agriculture
  • An almond or vine operation tracking salinity build-up under drip irrigationnot DJI Agriculture
  • An agronomist validating a variable-rate nitrogen prescription against in-ground readingsnot 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

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

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
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.

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
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.

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
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.

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.
