Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
DroneDeploy
- Sold as annual subscriptions rather than monthly, at $1,908 a year for the agriculture plan
- Images per map are capped by plan, at 1,000 on Ag Lite and 3,000 on the general individual plan
- The Ag Lite plan is limited to the VARI index for RGB plant health rather than the full analysis set
- Ground capture processing is excluded from every published individual plan
- Team plans publish no price at all and require a custom quote
AgriSync
- Acquired by John Deere, and agrisync.com no longer resolves, so it is no longer sold as an independent product
- Built around advisor-to-farmer support rather than farm record keeping, so it does not replace a farm management system
