# InstantTutor vs Tree and Plant Identifier

InstantTutor and Tree and Plant Identifier both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of InstantTutor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tree and Plant Identifier's. Tree and Plant Identifier's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InstantTutor sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Tree and Plant Identifier sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InstantTutor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tree and Plant Identifier has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of InstantTutor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tree and Plant Identifier's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
