Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plant Identifier at 100% against Jebena's 37%. Plant Identifier also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Jebena's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 53) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
