AgriIntel vs AgExpert Field
AgriIntel vs AgExpert Field: records first, or weather first?
AgExpert Field, from Farm Credit Canada, is a broad farm-records tool with a free Basic plan, offline mobile entry and links to AgExpert Accounting. AgriIntel is narrower: forecasts, spray planning and frost, heat and wind alerts for each farm, with simple field records alongside.

AgriIntel publishes this page and sells one of the products compared, so read it with that in mind. Competitor details come from each vendor's own public pages on the date shown and change over time; confirm anything that matters to you at the source.
Which job each one fits
Short answer: if your main need is farm records, cost of production, inventory, rotation and reports, with entry in the field when there is no signal, AgExpert Field is built for that and AgriIntel is not. If your main need is knowing what the weather will do on your farm and being emailed before frost, heat or strong wind, AgriIntel is built around that, and AgExpert Field's product page does not describe weather tools. The two do not exchange data, but nothing stops a farm using AgExpert for records and the books and AgriIntel for forecasts and alerts.
- Choose AgExpert Field for broad records, cost of production, inventory, rotation and reports
- Choose AgriIntel when weather timing is the job: spray planning and frost, heat and wind alerts
- AgExpert Field has a $0 Basic plan and a $399-a-year Premium plan; AgriIntel has no free plan and is billed monthly or yearly in CAD
- AgExpert Field's mobile app works with or without a connection; AgriIntel has no offline mode
- AgExpert Accounting is a separate product, sold alone or in a bundle with Field Premium; AgriIntel does no accounting
- There is no integration between them, so using both means two places to keep records

Who it's for
Frequently asked questions
Is AgriIntel an alternative to AgExpert Field?
Only partly. Both keep field records, but AgExpert Field's product page lists much more record-keeping scope, including cost of production, inventory, rotation and reports, plus offline mobile entry. AgriIntel's records are simpler, and its main job is weather: forecasts for each farm, a 24-hour spray strip and frost, heat and wind alerts by email. AgExpert's product page does not describe weather tools.
How do the prices compare?
They are billed differently, so compare like with like. AgExpert Field lists Basic at $0 a year and Premium at $399 a year (or $999 for three years); its page does not name the currency. AgriIntel is billed in CAD from $49 a month or $470.40 a year for up to 100 acres, with no free plan, and a 14-day trial that takes a card at checkout. They include different things, so start from the job you need done.
Is AgExpert Accounting the same as AgExpert Field?
No. AgExpert Accounting is a separate product for income, expenses and returns. AgExpert sells it on its own or in a Premium Bundle with Field Premium, listed at $499 a year. AgriIntel has no accounting.
Does either work offline?
AgExpert says its Field mobile app lets you enter data with or without an internet connection. AgriIntel has no offline mode: the web app and the Android companion app need a connection to load forecasts and save records.
Can I use both?
Yes. A farm could keep its books and detailed records in AgExpert and use AgriIntel for forecasts, spray planning and alerts. They do not share data, so a spray application you want in both would be entered twice.
