The short version
- Each has a real cost: Pix4Dfields satellite imagery is sold as separate credit packages on top of the subscription, with only 100 free credits included per year; 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: Pix4Dfields covers Orthomosaic generation, Ag-Analytics covers Yield prediction.
