Frequently asked questions
How much does a GPS dog fence really cost?
Over three years, from $200 (PetSafe Customizable GPS, no plan) to $1,281 (SpotOn Nova) for one dog among the devices we compare, device and plan included. The plan often costs as much as the collar: Halo Collar 5 is $524 up front, then $320 of membership over 36 months.
Is a GPS fence without a subscription cheaper in the long run?
Usually, but not always, and the gap closes slowly. Over five years the SpotOn Nova costs $999 without its optional tracking plan, against $1,053 for the Halo Collar 5 with its required Bronze plan. Add SpotOn's tracking plan and it comes to $1,460.
Does the calculator include multi-dog discounts?
No. These offers change over time, so the calculator adds a full collar and a full plan per extra dog. Where a brand sells a cheaper add-on collar (PetSafe Stay & Play receiver, Garmin TT 25, Dogtra receiver), that price is used.
Which billing cycle does it use?
The cheapest combination of the billing cycles each brand publishes (monthly, 6 months, 1, 2 or 5 years) that covers the period you pick, after any included months. Promo codes, trials and taxes are left out. Prices read on November 9, 2026.
