The short version

  • Only Agronomic has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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); Agronomic add-on only to FieldAlytics, not a standalone product
  • They diverge on capability: Farmers Edge covers Satellite imagery, Agronomic covers Soil analysis.
