The short version

  • Only Herdwatch has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Herdwatch annual pricing amounts not displayed, calculated dynamically based on farm type and herd size; Proagrica proagrica's own domain (proagrica.com) now redirects through telusagriculture.com to telus.com/agriculture, and the destination site confirms the product line now operates under TELUS Agriculture branding rather than as an independent Proagrica product.
  • They diverge on capability: Herdwatch covers Animal registry, Proagrica covers EDI integration.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
