# Plant Identification ++ vs My Tree ID

The clearest difference is rating: Plant Identification ++ at 4.6 against My Tree ID's 3.7. Plant Identification ++ also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 18). My Tree ID's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (60% vs 44%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plant Identification ++ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. My Tree ID asks for nothing beyond the download.

Plant Identification ++ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plant Identification ++ has 31K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Plant Identification ++'s written reviews are positive against 60% of My Tree ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
