Halter pricing

As of 1 September 2026, Halter pricing is 9.9/month across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Halter plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | 9.9/month | 4 | Entry tier |
| Pro | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
| Unlimited | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
Core
9.9/monthThe entry tier. It covers virtual fencing and remote shifting, per cow per month, on-farm tower infrastructure charged separately, monthly or annual billing.
Pro
On requestOver Core, this tier adds:
- Everything in Core
- Heat detection and reproduction tools
- Health and behaviour alerts
- Priced per cow, quoted by region
Unlimited
On requestOver Pro, this tier adds:
- Everything in Pro
- Full feature set for larger operations
- Pasture and residual management
What the product covers
The full Halter feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Virtual fencing
- Remote shifting
- Heat detection
- Health alerts
- Pasture management
- Solar collars
- Exclusion zones
People bring Halter in for a 600 cow grazing dairy that shifts breaks twice daily and cannot recruit enough staff to do it, a beef ranch fencing off riparian margins and wetlands without building physical fence, a dairy replacing a separate heat detection collar system with one collar that also does fencing, an operation running cell grazing on country where the cost of internal fencing exceeds the collar subscription. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Halter are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Agriculture
Too few agriculture tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Halter badges page.
Before you pay for Halter
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between 9.9/month and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Halter against the tools that do have one before committing.
Halter runs on ios, android, web, and is published by Halter of Auckland, New Zealand. The full record is on the Halter review, and the rest of the category is under best agriculture tools.
