FarmLogs vs Ag-Analytics
The short version
- Only FarmLogs has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: FarmLogs farm management plans are billed annually and cap at 20,000 acres, with larger operations required to contact sales for custom pricing; Ag-Analytics the vendor's homepage as captured by the Internet Archive on 16 June 2019 offered the Profit Layers tool as a 30 day free trial then a monthly subscription billed at $0.01 per acre; this capture is over five years old and should be treated as historical, not current pricing
- They diverge on capability: FarmLogs covers Field mapping & boundaries, Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction.
