The short version

  • Only OneSoil has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: OneSoil no price, tier or minimum is published; enterprise access requires scheduling a demo and the only self-serve entry point is a free demo app; Teralytic the company is reported at around six employees, so if it stops trading the buried probes become inert hardware, which is the single biggest risk in a multi-year soil sensing deployment.
  • They diverge on capability: OneSoil covers Satellite field monitoring, Teralytic covers Wireless NPK sensing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

OneSoil

  • Producing variable rate application maps to vary inputs within a fieldnot Teralytic
  • Identifying crops and estimating planted area across regions for traders and food companiesnot Teralytic

Teralytic

  • A research trial that needs continuous nitrogen readings between sampling dates rather than two lab tests a seasonnot OneSoil
  • A vegetable grower on sandy ground where leaching after rain makes a fortnightly lab test worthlessnot OneSoil
  • An almond or vine operation tracking salinity build-up under drip irrigationnot OneSoil
  • An agronomist validating a variable-rate nitrogen prescription against in-ground readingsnot OneSoil

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

OneSoil

  • No price, tier or minimum is published; enterprise access requires scheduling a demo and the only self-serve entry point is a free demo app
  • Field monitoring is satellite based, so the platform provides no in-field sensor or soil measurement of its own

Teralytic

  • The company is reported at around six employees, so if it stops trading the buried probes become inert hardware, which is the single biggest risk in a multi-year soil sensing deployment.
  • No current pricing is published and reported figures have moved between roughly 300 and 500 US dollars per probe per year, so a buyer cannot model the cost of a hundred-probe deployment without a quote.
  • The subscription is mandatory for the probe to report at all, so the up-front hardware payment buys nothing durable and a lapsed account means a field full of dead instruments.
  • In-field NPK sensing is scientifically contested and readings need interpretation against soil type and calibration, so agronomists will not treat the numbers as interchangeable with a lab test and many will insist on both.
  • Spatial coverage is the unsolved problem: a probe measures one point, soil varies over metres, and covering a field properly multiplies both the hardware and the annual subscription by the number of zones you care about.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

OneSoil: How much does OneSoil cost?

OneSoil does not publish pricing on its website. The platform offers a free trial at app.onesoil.ai or a demo can be scheduled through their contact form.

Source
Teralytic: Can I buy the probe without a subscription?

No. The probe reports through Teralytic’s network into its cloud, and without an active subscription it does not deliver data.

OneSoil: What pricing model does OneSoil use?

OneSoil's pricing model is not disclosed on their public website. Contact [email protected] or schedule a demo to learn about pricing and subscription options.

Source
Teralytic: Does it replace lab soil tests?

No. It gives continuous in-season trend data. Most agronomists will still want lab results for absolute nutrient values and for compliance records.

Teralytic: How much does it cost?

Teralytic does not publish current pricing. Reported figures have ranged from roughly 300 to 500 US dollars per probe per year including hardware and connectivity.

Teralytic: How many probes does a field need?

That depends on soil variability. One probe represents one point, so a field with several distinct soil zones needs one per zone to be meaningful.
