CropBuddy vs AgriWebb: Crop Operations vs Livestock Records
Comparisons · 2026-05-15 · 7 min read
AgriWebb is built for livestock paddocks and mob movements. CropBuddy is built for cropping fields and harvests. Here's which one fits your operation.
AgriWebb and CropBuddy are often shortlisted together by mixed operations, but they're built for fundamentally different jobs. This comparison clarifies which one belongs on your phone — and when running both makes sense.
TL;DR
AgriWebb is a livestock-first platform: paddocks, mobs, animal records, EID scanning, treatment history, and compliance reporting (LPA / NLIS in Australia, CLAS in the UK). CropBuddy is a cropping-first platform: fields, planting / spraying / harvest tasks, seed and fertilizer inventory, and per-field weather.
If you run a pure livestock operation, AgriWebb is the right choice. If you run a cropping or mixed-crop operation, CropBuddy is the right choice. Mixed graziers often run both.
Mapping
Both use satellite imagery to draw boundaries. AgriWebb's mapping is optimized for paddocks (subdivisions, water points, fencing). CropBuddy is optimized for cropping fields (NDVI / NDWI vegetation indices, headland-aware acreage, planting history).
Records
AgriWebb's core data model is the animal: every beast has an EID tag, weight history, treatment log, parentage, and movement record. CropBuddy doesn't track animals — its core data model is the field, with crop, planting date, applications, scouting notes, and harvest yield.
Tasks & team
Both products have task and team modules with roles. AgriWebb's tasks lean toward mustering, drenching, and treatment runs. CropBuddy's tasks lean toward planting passes, spraying, scouting, and harvest logistics. Either supports recurring rules and worker assignment.
Compliance
AgriWebb's killer feature is regulator-ready livestock compliance (LPA, NLIS, eNVD). CropBuddy doesn't replicate this — but offers an activity log per field for input / spray / harvest audit trails useful for organic or quality certifications.
Pricing
AgriWebb uses a per-head subscription that scales with herd size. CropBuddy is free during public beta with no per-acre or per-user fee.
Verdict
- Pure cropping farm → CropBuddy.
- Pure livestock farm → AgriWebb.
- Mixed operation → CropBuddy for paddocks you crop + AgriWebb for paddocks you graze. They don't overlap.
Start with CropBuddy free if cropping is your priority — and add AgriWebb later only if you scale a livestock enterprise.
