Where each one falls short

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

Pix4Dfields

  • Satellite imagery is sold as separate credit packages on top of the subscription, with only 100 free credits included per year
  • Monthly billing is listed at $165.83 per month against $1,990 for a year, so paying monthly costs substantially more
  • The software runs only on Windows and macOS, with no Linux build

Bushel Farm

  • Prices are not shown on the current pages; the tier names appear but the figures sit behind an old pricing path
  • Much of the value comes from integrations with John Deere Operations Center, Climate FieldView and the Bushel grain network, so the benefit depends on already using those
  • There is no free tier, only a 30 day trial
