I haven't used either, but in the UK this works incredibly well.

  Or Google Lens? I've only tried Lens on various office plants (so not in the wild) but it was very effective for those

      This is one of the best apps to install on your kids’ phones. Makes them go outside and get interested in their surroundings.

my partner used one called PictureThis and it identified most of all the plants around our property here in New Zealand ( mix of natives and introduced), it got ones that were a complete mystery to us.

  I used to use PictureThis until they started requiring a login in order to use it. Then I switched to LeafSnap, which works great.

    At least for me on iOS it doesn't require a login. I too confirm that PictureThis works great.

      For me (Android) PictureThis requires a login, and limits you to 1 identification per day, unless you pay for a monthly subscription. It didn't use to in the past. However, the linked app (Candide) also seems to require a login, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they put limits on free accounts.

    I have it, and they don't require a login. I use it several times a week. My main complaint about it, is that it's a battery hog; but it works well.

    This is one of those markets where even ignoring open source/etc you never need to pay for it, because at the moment there is a new plant recognition app once a fortnight with a free trial. And none of them have any real lock-in because they're basically stateless.

    I started using PictureThis recently and do not need a login or anything. Works pretty well at least in my yard and nearby parks.
