The short version
- 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); DJI Agriculture pricing is not published for Agras drones; the site directs buyers to authorized regional dealers instead of listing a price
- They diverge on capability: Farmers Edge covers Satellite imagery, DJI Agriculture covers Precision spraying.
