So, tell the truth community, is the paid version of this app worth having? Or is basic free fine enough?

Can’t lie, I love it and without it my plants would be dead. Honestly worth the money in my opinion. Love the reminders especially fertilizing and I think it’s worth it if you’re very into it otherwise probably better things to spend it on!

I completely agree with Gianna! And this app is also very affordable compared to the others out there! I’ve seen a few that are really pricey and I wouldn’t want to pay their cost but this app is fairly priced in my opinion!

I’ve just started into having houseplants as a hobby back in December. At this point I’ve got 46 plants of many types. I think it is worth it for me. I’m sure the more I learn the less I’ll need it. I enjoy using it, keeping logs, pictures, etc.

Wow, a lot of plants in a short time! You really go all in, huh!? Good luck on your adventure!

I've been using the app for a little over a year now. I do the free version and I love it. I killed so many plants before this app and now I'm doing great. When I have any questions/ concerns I just ask the communit and they are great at answering me and you get several different answers so you can try them all and see what works for you. They are very helpful

Yeah, I am thinking I’ll ride the free wave for a while, and only upgrade when that and my Alexa reminders fail me…

I’ve done free and paid. It was worth it for me (I was going through a troubling planting-killing phase 😬) but the free version offers everything you’ll need.

Honestly $40 for the whole year is not a bad thing . If you have adhd or other such dx’s that prevent you from organizing and prioritizing tasks in a timely manner - this will be your best friend . You also get more info out there , I’d say do it ! If you don’t feel it’s worth it next year, cancel

I’m just let my premium version expire and it’s not a problem at all. I have 65 plants!
