Overview

PictureThis identifies a plant, tree, flower or succulent from a single photo, drawing on a database the company states covers more than 400,000 species, and follows an identification with care instructions covering watering, sunlight, toxicity and common problems. Beyond identification, it auto-diagnoses plant diseases from a photo and suggests treatment, and can flag toxic plants a user might encounter around children or pets. Built by Glority Global Group Ltd, a direct lookup of its own App Store listing shows a 4.80-out-of-5 average across more than 1.1 million ratings and a current-version update dated within the past day, confirming the app remains under active development nearly a decade after its 2017 launch.

PictureThis is free to download but gates its full identification history, disease diagnosis and detailed care library behind a premium subscription after a short free trial, so a first-time user should expect a prompt to subscribe once the trial period ends. As with any AI plant identifier, a toxicity or edibility flag is a helpful starting signal rather than a substitute for expert confirmation before eating or feeding a plant to a child or pet.

The app is free to download, with a premium subscription reported by third-party trackers at roughly $39.99 a year or $9.99 a month after a 7-day free trial; exact current pricing and regional variation should be confirmed inside the app itself.
