Where each one falls short

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

DTN Agriculture

  • Pricing is not published for any product
  • A wide portfolio, including ProphetX, ClearAg, MyDTN and Instant Market, so the relevant product depends on whether you are a grower, a trader or a grain processor
  • Aimed mostly at the commercial agriculture chain rather than at individual farms

Yr.no

  • Full API/data usage requires attribution to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and NRK per their terms, not a no-strings-attached free service
  • Product and documentation are heavily Norway/Nordic-centric in framing even though forecasts cover any location on earth
  • No paid/pro consumer tier is published, monetization/support model beyond the free service is unclear from primary sources
