Farmers Edge
- Farmers Edge priced its FarmCommand platform per acre rather than per seat, with tiers from $1.50 CAD per acre for basic imagery-only monitoring up to $6.00 CAD per acre for variable rate fertility prescriptions, meaning cost scales directly with farm size rather than user count (archived pricing page, 5 April 2020)
