Plant Light Meter answers the question every plant owner asks at a window: is it bright enough here for this plant? Lay the phone where the plant stands, screen facing the light, and the sun climbs the dial to the reading. The dial is marked in the bands care labels use, from too dark to direct sun, and the number is in lux. Choose the plant from a library of common houseplants, from snake plant to fiddle-leaf fig to basil, and the dial shows the range it is comfortable in. The verdict is one line: enough light here, too dark for it, or too bright and the leaves may scorch. No plant chosen? The app lists the plants that would be happy in this light. Looking for the brightest place in the room? Start the scan, carry the phone around, and a rising note marks each brighter spot found; the best reading stays on screen. Keep the spots that matter. Every saved place sits on a shelf, brightest first, with the plant that lives there and whether it is happy. Read a spot morning, noon and evening and its page draws the day as a curve and works out the daily light, DLI, the way grow guides count it, rather than guessing from one reading and a number of hours. Under a grow light, switch the meter to the lamp's spectrum for PPFD and DLI, and see how far the lamp should hang for seedlings, leafy plants, herbs or fruiting plants, from the reading at the leaves. A phone camera is not a laboratory meter. The reading is an estimate, good to within a light band, and if you own a lux meter you can calibrate the app against it in a few seconds. The camera only reads its exposure: no photo is taken, stored or sent. No sign-up, no connection required, and nothing about you is gathered. Free: the meter, the bands, the plant verdict and the room scan. Plant Light Pro, paid once, adds the shelf of spots, the day curve with daily light, and grow-light mode. It never renews. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Unlock Everything | $3.99 | one-time | ## Is Plant Light Meter safe?

The meter is now a dial: the sun climbs it to the reading, and the bands care labels use are marked on it. Choose your plant from a library of common houseplants and the app says whether the light here is enough for it, too dark, or too bright. New: a room scan that finds the brightest place; a shelf of saved spots with the plant living in each; the day curve, which reads daily light from your morning, noon and evening readings; grow-light mode with the lamp distance for seedlings, herbs or fruit; calibration against a real lux meter; a short opening animation. Your saved spots and your purchase carry over from the previous version. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-20 Saved spots can now be renamed, measured again and corrected: tap Edit, swipe or touch and hold a spot, or open it to see every reading and remove a wrong one. The app now opens straight on the light meter, without intro pages. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-05 Minor fixes and improvements. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-01 VoiceOver now reads a label for every icon-only button. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-26 If the price cannot load, the purchase screen now offers Try Again instead of waiting. ## Apps similar to Plant Light Meter | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Floraly: Plant Care & Light](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/floraly-plant-care-and-light/id6782062975) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Peloria: Plant Light Meter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/peloria-plant-light-meter/id6779911195) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Parit - Plant Care](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/parit-plant-care/id6792637001) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [PlantEra](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/plantera/id6743106564) | — | Free | Lifestyle | | [Charging Animations](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/charging-animations/id1563666789) | 3.7 (34) | $2.99 | Lifestyle | | [SeedShare: Seed Swap & Trade](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seedshare-seed-swap-and-trade/id6757470786) | — | Free | Lifestyle | ## More apps by Hayri Odabas - [FlagMasterPlus](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/flagmasterplus/id6760335357) - [QuizArena: Turkish Trivia](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quizarena-turkish-trivia/id6760608310) - [FlashFlow](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/flashflow/id6763675293) - [Nurani](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nurani/id6763720425) - [Chroma Flow: Water Sort Puzzle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chroma-flow-water-sort-puzzle/id6766662236) - [Sudoku Master Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sudoku-master-pro/id6780234978) All apps by Hayri Odabas: https://appshunter.io/developer/1883951024 ## Related topics [growing plants light](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/growing-plants-light) · [biotic plant light meter](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/biotic-plant-light-meter) · [light meter free plant](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/light-meter-free-plant) · [plant light meter grow](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/plant-light-meter-grow) · [plant light meter](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/plant-light-meter) · [grow light meter](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/grow-light-meter) · [ppfd free](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/ppfd-free) · [plant light check](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/plant-light-check) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
