Price model: per month or per animal
Some apps charge a fixed monthly fee with an animal limit, others charge per animal. Work out the yearly cost for your herd today and for the herd you expect in two years.
What you must record
Selling milk to a collector? You need per-cow yields for each milking. Running the collection centre? You need fat/SNF testing and farmer payments, which is a different kind of software.
Who enters the data
Count the staff logins you need, check which language the screens are in, and ask whether each worker can be limited to their own tasks.
Phone, internet and offline
Ask whether there is an app-store app or a web app installed from the browser, and whether it keeps working without internet in the shed.
Breeding and health
Look for heat, insemination, pregnancy and calving records with reminders, and medicine withdrawal alerts so treated milk stays out of the tank.
Accounts, payroll and support
Check for income and expense records, staff salaries and exportable reports, and ask who sets up your farm and whether support is on WhatsApp or phone.

Herd Manager — our product
Islamabad
Dairy farm management software for commercial farms. It records milk per cow for every session (morning, afternoon and evening, with Excel upload); heat, insemination, pregnancy and calving with synchronisation protocols; health treatments with medicine withdrawal alerts; feed plans with NRC-based ration analysis; feed, medicine and semen stock; farm accounts, HR and payroll; and 80+ reports in PDF or Excel. An AI farm assistant answers questions from your own records.

Good fit if: You run a commercial herd and want milk, breeding, health, withdrawal, feed, stock and payroll records in one system, set up with you.
Not the best fit: It is not the best fit if you run a milk collection centre (it has no fat/SNF farmer payments), need to work offline or want an app-store app, want screens in Urdu, or mainly breed buffaloes: buffaloes are recorded under breed "Other" and breeding dates use cattle gestation timings.

Which software is best for a milk collection centre?
Choose software built for collection, such as HysabOne (fat testing, farmer payments and GST/FBR billing) or DigitalManager, which lists milk collection centres among its users. Farm software such as Herd Manager records your own herd's milk, not payments to many supplying farmers.
