LOG EVERY CARE ACTIVITY Record watering, fertilising, pruning, repotting, treatments and changes of location. You can log the same activity for several plants at once. KEEP THEIR FULL HISTORY Save notes and photos in each plant’s timeline, so you can always remember what you did and when. IDENTIFY PLANTS FROM A PHOTO Use the camera to identify a plant and find useful information to help you start caring for it. REMINDERS BASED ON YOUR HABITS Bloomtrace uses your care history to highlight when it may be a good time to check a plant. You decide when it needs attention.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fast Cast at none against Bloomtrace's 3. Fast Cast also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Bloomtrace's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.
