    I went to download PlantNet but somehow ended up with Picture This. It is a subscription service but you get a free trial. I then downloaded PlantNet. I have tried them both on various plants, known and not known, and Picture This seems way more accurate. What are the members opinions on these plant identification programs?

      Not used either, I tried one app a few years ago, can't remember it's name and it was very inaccurate probably it was biased to the US.

      I have PlantNet and it can be very hit and miss but okay.

      Like all these things it depends on the quality and size of the database they are searching in and how well curated this is.
      Plantnet is a citizen science project and depends on people submitting accurately named pictures, however it is free.
      Picture This is also the name of a rock band.
