We provide flexible pricing tiers depending on the number of hectares monitored and the frequency of satellite data updates. Our platform is accessible through web and mobile apps, making it easy for users to track and manage their farms from anywhere.
Additionally, we extend our services through APIs, enabling developers and businesses to integrate Farmonaut’s satellite and weather data into their own systems. This API access broadens our revenue streams and encourages collaboration with other agritech companies and agricultural research organizations.
Our Target Audience
Farmonaut’s solutions are tailored for a wide range of users in the agricultural ecosystem:
1. Individual Farmers
We offer individual farmers access to precise, real-time data on their crops. This allows them to make better decisions regarding crop health, pest management, and resource allocation. Small and medium-sized farms can particularly benefit from our affordable precision farming solutions.

3. Governments and NGOs
We work with government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to improve agricultural productivity, implement large-scale farm monitoring programs, and support sustainable farming initiatives. Governments also use Farmonaut’s tools for crop area and yield estimation, especially in policy and subsidy distribution.
4. Financial Institutions
By providing satellite-based verification of farms, we help banks and insurance companies streamline crop loan approvals and reduce fraudulent claims in agricultural insurance.
5. Corporate Clients
Companies, especially in sectors like textile and food, use our blockchain-based traceability solutions to ensure the authenticity and transparency of their supply chains. This strengthens consumer trust and enhances the brand’s reputation.
