How does the comparison tool work?
Pick up to three of the 14 rated GPS fences and collars. The table lines up their specs, plan prices and 3-year cost, and highlights the better figure on each line. The page address keeps your selection, so you can share it.
Where do the figures come from?
From each maker's official US product, plan and support pages, read on November 9, 2026. Missing figures are shown as "Not stated" rather than guessed.
Does the highlighted value mean the better device?
It marks the better figure on that line only. The overall score combines nine criteria with published weights: see the methodology page.
