Farmonaut Satellite Crop Monitoring turns satellite imagery into crop-health readings and field advice for farmers, farm managers, agronomists, and agribusinesses. Users can draw field boundaries, search by address, or upload map files, then review NDVI readings and crop-health maps refreshed after satellite passes. The product is available through a browser interface and Android app, with an API for field readings, imagery, and reports. It is aimed at operations that want remote monitoring without installing sensors or flying drones.
Its advisory scope goes beyond visual monitoring: reports include seven-day irrigation scheduling, soil moisture monitoring, fertilizer recommendations covering five nutrients, pest, disease, and weed risk alerts with treatment options, plus yield estimates and expected harvest dates. Optical imagery provides crop-health views, while radar imagery supports monitoring when cloud cover obscures optical imagery. This makes the product relevant to teams seeking a mix of field status and operational prompts, rather than imagery alone. The published feature set does not include sensor or drone imagery, so farms that depend on those inputs should consider a tool built around them.
According to the vendor's pricing page, monthly plans begin with Mini at $4.99 for 5 hectares, followed by Basic at $29.99 for 30 hectares, Standard at $64.99 for 80 hectares, and Premium at $224.99 for 300 hectares. There is no free plan. The API and web and Android access give it options for both direct use and software integration, though buyers focused on linking a broader farm software stack should assess whether the API meets their needs. Farmonaut is a fit for budget-conscious users who want satellite advisories at a defined field-area tier; it is less suited to users seeking a free entry point or monitoring based on drones or installed sensors.
