Nothing to pay upfront

Pay per cow

The biggest barrier for communal farmers is not the monthly cost, it is finding several thousand rand on day one. So there is another way to buy.

  • R50 per cow per month
  • Hardware and service both included
  • No money upfront for equipment
  • Minimum twenty animals
  • Or pay the tags off over twelve months if you would rather own them
  • Cooperative group packages available, which work out cheaper again

On every package

Included whichever you choose

Fitting on your farm

We come to you, fit the collars and show you how the app works. No charge.

The gateway

The radio mast that covers your area is part of the setup, not a separate bill.

Tamper alerts

If a collar is interfered with, that itself raises the alarm.

Your data stays yours

Shared with police only when you ask, in the event of a theft.

Where these prices come from, and what could change them. They are the researched ranges from our costing work, based on quoted supplier pricing from HKT and MOKO and the infrastructure costs of running a LoRaWAN network. AniTrac is at pilot stage. Once the first deployments are complete we will know real battery life, real coverage and real support costs, and pricing will be confirmed against that. We would rather show you a range now than a single number we have to walk back later.
