The short version

  • Each has a real cost: GAMAYA the product is now effectively sugarcane specific, so growers of anything other than cane or grapes will find little of the original broad crop coverage left.; GEA DairyNet the value depends on GEA hardware, so a barn with mixed-vendor parlours, sensors or feeders loses most of the native integration that justifies the software.
  • They diverge on capability: GAMAYA covers CanaSight, GEA DairyNet covers Herd module.
  • 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.

GAMAYA

  • The product is now effectively sugarcane specific, so growers of anything other than cane or grapes will find little of the original broad crop coverage left.
  • The 2024 merger with Terraview means the company, product line and roadmap differ substantially from the Gamaya that raised money as a hyperspectral imaging startup, and older references describe a business that no longer exists.
  • Much of the commercial value is tied to Brazil's RenovaBio scheme, so a change in CBIO prices or programme rules would cut the return calculation directly and is entirely outside the vendor's control.
  • No pricing is published at any tier, and with an enterprise sales motion aimed at mills, a single grower has little chance of a fast or cheap engagement.
  • As a small European company selling into Brazil, India and southern Africa, local support depth and language coverage are stretched, and implementation depends on partners rather than the vendor.

GEA DairyNet

  • The value depends on GEA hardware, so a barn with mixed-vendor parlours, sensors or feeders loses most of the native integration that justifies the software.
  • Nothing is published: not module prices, not per-animal rates, not installation costs, so every comparison against DeLaval or Lely requires a dealer quote and there is no way to sanity check it.
  • Per-module per-animal pricing is granular but also means costs climb quietly as you add modules and grow the herd, and the monthly cancellation option does not help once the barn depends on a module.
  • It is a successor to DairyPlan C21 rather than a rewrite of the category, so dairies migrating carry across conventions and data structures that predate cloud software and the transition itself needs dealer time.
  • GEA sells only through authorised partners, so support quality, installation competence and how quickly you get a fault fixed are determined by your regional dealer rather than by GEA.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

GAMAYA: Is Gamaya still in business?

Yes. Gamaya merged with Terraview in July 2024 and the combined company trades as GAMAYA from Winterthur, Switzerland.

GEA DairyNet: Does DairyNet replace DairyPlan C21?

Yes. It is the successor product, built on the same decades of DairyPlan development but restructured into cloud-connected modules.

GAMAYA: What crops does it cover?

Sugarcane primarily, with grapes from the Terraview side. The broad multi-crop hyperspectral ambition of the earlier company is gone.

GEA DairyNet: How is it priced?

Per module, with each module priced on the number of animals actually using that module's functions. Modules can be cancelled monthly. No rates are published.

GAMAYA: What is CanaTrace for?

Streamlining RenovaBio certification in Brazil, where increased certified CBIOs per hectare have a directly monetisable value.

GEA DairyNet: Will it work with non-GEA milking equipment?

Basic herd records will, but the sensor, robot and parlour integrations that make it worth buying are GEA-specific.

GAMAYA: What does it cost?

Nothing is published. It is quoted by hectares under management and sold mainly to mills and large estates.

GEA DairyNet: Is the software cost the main expense?

No. The one-time investment in sensors, system technology and installation is the larger figure, and it is quoted separately by the sales partner.
