Farmbrite: General-purpose farm/ranch software spanning livestock and crops rather than a grain-farm tool. Accounting: expense tracking, receipt capture, invoicing, bank imports, margin analysis, and a stand-alone 'Farm Accounting Only' plan. Field maps: customizable farm maps and satellite imagery; crop planning 'seed-to-sale' but no agronomic modeling, no NDVI/yield-layer or prescription tools described. Inputs/inventory: real-time inventory and equipment maintenance schedules. Labor: team calendar, task scheduling, checklists, recurring tasks, team-member seats per plan. Weather: historic weather and climate trends. Integrations are via Zapier ('over 5,000 apps') and an API; no John Deere/FieldView or other machine-data integrations and no grain buyer or elevator connections listed. Also includes orders/e-commerce and point of sale. Mobile apps on Apple App Store and Google Play. No AI feature mentioned on the pages fetched.
Indigo Ag: Inputs: Indigo sells biotrinsic biological seed treatments (14 US products per vendor; e.g., Nemora FP bionematicide for SCN launching spring 2026) and the CLIPS on-planter application device, distributed through partners such as GROWMARK. Carbon: farmers enroll fields online at app.indigoag.com, enter field boundaries and 4+ years of crop/practice history, and receive 75% of net credit revenue on a five-year payment schedule (up to 20% of credits held in a buffer pool, unpaid); vendor cites up to $80 per credit for new 2025 sales as an estimate, not a guarantee; available across the continental US for 18 crops. Grain marketing: Indigo exited grain buying in March 2022 (The Andersons took over legacy contracts) and repositioned Market+ as merchandising software for grain buyers (bids, contracts, auto-hedge, branded storefront); no farmer-facing marketplace page exists on indigoag.com today. Buyer integrations: Carbon by Indigo works with 40+ agribusinesses and Source by Indigo (sustainable sourcing for food companies) was spun into Terion in June 2026. Mobile: enrollment and account management run through the web app at app.indigoag.com; no dedicated farmer mobile app described.

| Founded | 2012 | 2013 |
| Status | Active. Founded by Ian and Janine Russell. Serves a broad small-to-mid farm and livestock market globally; corn/soybean/wheat 'commodity growers' are one listed segment but grain marketing and machine-data integrations are absent. | Company active, but the farmer-facing grain marketplace is effectively gone: Indigo stopped buying grain in March 2022, no Market+ or Marketplace product page appears on indigoag.com (the /marketplace and /marketplus URLs resolve to the Sustainability Solutions page), and the most recent vendor news item about Market+ is from 2021. A third-party directory listing for 'Market+ Merchandise' (grain-buyer merchandising software) remained live as of March 2026, so Market+ may persist as buyer-side software; Indigo has not published a formal discontinuation notice (unverified). The Source sustainable-sourcing business left Indigo for Terion in June 2026. Today Indigo sells farmers carbon-program enrollment and biological inputs. |
