Great if…

you want SpotOn's no-plan fence and your yard is half an acre or more
your dog's neck sits at the small or large end of the range (three sizes)
you are fine adding tracking later, or never

Skip it if…

your yard is between 1/3 and 1/2 acre: the Nova is rated for smaller lots
you want a stated battery figure before you buy
your dog is under 15 lb

What living with it looks like

Day to day, the Omni works like the Nova: fences of any shape drawn or walked in the app, keep-out zones, warning tones as the dog approaches, then vibration and optional static at the boundary. No plan and no cell signal are needed for the fence itself.

The hardware is a step down. SpotOn describes a dual-band, dual-feed antenna with a single-feed receiver and 128 satellites, and gives about 6 feet of accuracy, against under 5 feet for the Nova. It is sold in three neck sizes (10-14, 12-18 and 19-26 inches) rather than one adjustable strap.

The catch

No battery figure on the product page we read, so battery is left out of its score rather than guessed. Ask SpotOn before you buy if you plan long days away.

The optional tracking plan costs the same as on the Nova, so with tracking the Omni comes to about $1,181 over three years.

The verdict

The SpotOn Omni is SpotOn's fence for $100 less than the Nova: the same no-subscription fence, unlimited shapes and keep-out zones, sold in three neck sizes. It scores 8.9/10, one notch above the Nova, because its lower price weighs more than the details it gives up. Those details matter, though: it needs 1/2 acre, and SpotOn does not publish its battery life.
