The short version

  • Only Tend has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: FarmERP no API available for third-party integrations; 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: FarmERP covers Farm operations, Tend covers Visual crop planning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

FarmERP

  • No API available for third-party integrations
  • Quote-based pricing with no transparent publicly listed tiers
  • Requires contact with sales team for demo and pricing information

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

FarmERP: What modules does FarmERP include?

FarmERP provides integrated modules for farm profile management, production planning, inventory management, purchasing, warehouse management with barcoding, HR management, CRM, and accounting including bills payable and bills receivable.

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.

FarmERP: Does FarmERP support offline functionality?

Yes. FarmERP includes a native mobile app with offline data recording capability, allowing users in remote areas to work without continuous internet connectivity.

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.

FarmERP: What AI and analytics features does FarmERP offer?

FarmERP includes FarmGyan, which provides plot-level intelligence for farm decision-making, along with satellite imagery analysis and predictive analytics for crop management and yield optimization.

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.

FarmERP: Does FarmERP have an API for integrations?

No. FarmERP does not currently offer an API for third-party integrations or programmatic data access.

Source
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.

FarmERP: How is FarmERP priced?

FarmERP uses custom, quote-based pricing rather than transparent tiered plans. Pricing is tailored to each customer's specific needs and scale.

Source
FarmERP: What countries does FarmERP serve?

FarmERP has been implemented across 30+ countries with support for multiple crop types and agribusiness models globally.
