My plant identifier said this little guy was a snake plant… doesn’t look like it to me. Any idea what it could be? Am I wrong?

I mean I’m not an expert but sometimes it takes a plant if it’s a larger plant to grow up past a certain stage to be identified I mean it does kinda look like a miniature snake plant but I’m not like 100 percent sure

There’s soo many snake plants, Kind of has the leaf shape but… idk lol, could be a moonshine snake plant

If it is not hard, succulent type leaf, it could be a variety of tradescantia- it looks similar to mine which I was told could be “boat lily”

It might be a birds nest snake plant. I have one that I’m nursing back to health that looks similar.
