The Croptracker comparison
Price the records you need, then the work around them
Croptracker publishes a US$3,300 yearly starting price. Its modules cover much more than orchard records. Match your actual subscriptions to the work your team uses before deciding to switch.
An annual starting plan
The advertised starting plan includes ten users. Confirm the scope and your actual renewal bill with Croptracker.
Module subscriptions
Croptracker says most users subscribe to individual modules annually. Monthly subscriptions are available at a premium.
Spray recording
The Spray module records applications. Compare that with your own diary, evidence checks and recorded harvest holds.
Harvest records
The Harvest module tracks yields and traceability. Your block and lot history is the starting point for migration.
Time recording
Punch Clock handles employee time. The free version here holds labour allocations for block review; payroll stays with your existing provider.
Custom requirements
Enterprise pricing varies with requirements. Compare the quoted reporting and connection work with a version built for your orchard.

Ten questions to ask across your orchard records
These questions run against the demonstration records below. Croptracker also offers configurable reports; the difference here is owning and changing the underlying record.
Switching
How to switch from Croptracker
A move like this usually involves exporting the records you need, mapping your fields and rules, testing the import, then checking the new records alongside Croptracker before you switch.
- 1
Export the records you need
Start with Croptracker’s standard Harvest Inventory Report for bin records. For other history, export what your account allows, usually CSV or Excel, and check with Croptracker if you are unsure how to get it. Configured exports need their headings checked. Spray history, attachments and other modules need separate mapping, so decide which records you want to bring across before you begin.
- 2
Load a test import
Use the supported Harvest Inventory Report for bin records, or a mapped harvest CSV for other harvest records. Run the test import first, before loading records into your working database. Check that the headings and units match the data you exported, including any weight conversions. Do not assume the base import covers every Croptracker module.
- 3
Review and reconcile the results
Check the test results for records that were held, rejected or need mapping changes. Imported harvest records remain held for review, and conflicting history stops the import. Compare the imported bin or harvest records with the Croptracker report, including totals and original units. Resolve differences and agree which history is in scope before loading the final set.
- 4
Run both systems briefly
Keep using Croptracker while you use Orchard for Claude Code with a small, agreed set of current records. Compare new entries and the records your team relies on in both systems. Use this period to check your field rules and capture workflow, including any agreed screens or connections, before your team depends on the new setup.
- 5
Switch off Croptracker
Once you have checked the imported history and your team can record its agreed work in Orchard, choose a cutover point. Confirm that the records you need are present and that any differences have been resolved. Keep a copy of your Croptracker exports according to your business recordkeeping needs, then stop entering new work in Croptracker.
Where the real effort goes
The real work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, checking configured export headings and units, and deciding how much history to bring. Bin inventory has a supported import, but spray history, attachments and other modules need separate mapping. Plan time to review and reconcile the results. If you have Enterprise DNA run it, they handle this migration work as part of the agreed scope.

Questions
Instead of Croptracker, answered
What does Croptracker cost compared with this? expand_more
Croptracker advertises plans starting at US$3,300 a year for the first ten users. Your modules and enterprise requirements determine the actual quote. The free version here has no software licence fee. Running costs remain yours. Enterprise DNA quotes a setup fee, then a retainer for the managed version.
Will our Croptracker history come across? expand_more
The free version imports bin inventory from the supported Harvest Inventory Report, with known weight conversions and a test run first. Configured exports need their headings checked. Spray history, attachments and other modules need separate mapping. We agree that scope and reconcile the results before cutover.
Does this tell us fruit is safe to pick? expand_more
It checks your entered spray intervals and record evidence. It does not certify residues, market access or GAP compliance. Your responsible person checks the actual label and buyer programme. Imported harvest records remain held for review.
What about mobile capture, scanning and our field team? expand_more
We scope those capture screens and connections as part of your custom version. Show us how your team works at the block and which records must still be captured without reception. We agree and test that workflow before switching.
Can we leave or change who runs it later? expand_more
Yes. You retain the code and database, and can export the records. The free version is open source under MIT. Your managed arrangement covers the agreed operating work, with the migration and handover responsibilities written into the scope.
