Top-Reviewed Flower & Plant Identifier Apps

PlantSnap

With a database of over 625,000 species, PlantSnap is an easy-t0-use app that identifies flowers, plants, trees, mushrooms, and succulents in just seconds. There are also tutorials that teach you how to maximize the use of this app. PlantSnap has over 150 million images and is free to use. There is also a premium version with fewer ads.

PlantNet

PlantNet is a popular free app that identifies plants, flowers, bushes, grasses, vines, and trees from a photo you upload. PlantNet is also considered to be a science project app because all of the photos of plants and flowers submitted are collected and examined by scientists. The goal is to get a better understanding of plant biodiversity and improve plant preservation.

PictureThis

PictureThis uses advanced AI technology to identify plants and flowers. Claiming a 99% accuracy rate and over 27 million plants identified, this app also gives plant care tips, disease analyses, and pest control tips. PictureThis is well-reviewed and easy to use but is a subscription-based app. A 7-day free trial is available, though, so you can check it out before committing to the subscription.

What’s That Flower?

Instead of uploading a photo, What’s That Flower uses a series of simple questions about the flower you’re interested in to come up with possible matches. It’s perfect for when you don’t have or can’t take a picture of a flower you want to know about. Each flower in its database has beautiful imagery with detailed information about it. What’s That Flower has over 600 varieties of flowers and is free to use with an ad-free premium version available also.
