SatAgro review
A low-cost satellite and variable-rate toolkit, with a free one-field starting point.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
SatAgro combines satellite-based crop monitoring with precision-agriculture planning for farms and agricultural organizations. It brings vegetation maps, historical crop and weather charts, crop and weather alerts, and variable-rate prescription maps for seeding, fertilizing and spraying into one platform. Farmers can also create management and soil-sampling zones, keep crop, treatment and task logs, and use mobile field notes, geotagged photos and treatment management. The web, iOS and Android options make it relevant to teams that plan from a computer and record work in the field, while the per-acre pricing can suit farms looking to start with a limited area.
The annual Starter plan costs $0 per acre per year for one crop field. Professional costs $2 per acre per year and adds satellite monitoring, management zones, prescription maps, soil-testing optimization and technical support. Premium is $3 per acre per year and adds 3 m satellite monitoring, sensor integration and support defining zones. Expert costs $3.75 per acre per year, adding profitability mapping and eco-scheme support to Premium features. Two one-time sampler options cost $1 or $1.50 per acre for soil-analysis support using archived imagery; the latter specifies archived 3 m and 10 m imagery. This tier structure makes Professional a practical entry point for satellite VRA, while higher tiers matter when finer imagery, sensors or profitability analysis are priorities.
The named integration options include MyJohnDeere Operations Center, FarmENGAGE, TaskDoc, agrirouter, Hydra System, Planet Labs, weather stations and IoT sensors. SatAgro also supports importing and exporting maps, charts and farm records, which helps farms working across existing machinery and data workflows assess fit. Its breadth spans monitoring, mapping, logs, weather and mobile field work, rather than focusing on a single VRA task. Farms needing only a free one-field trial may find Starter narrow; those needing 3 m imagery or profitability mapping must budget for a paid tier. It is a sensible fit for area-priced satellite workflows, but farms should compare the required imagery and platform connections before choosing it.
