# AutoSilent vs Leaf Identification

The clearest difference is rating: Leaf Identification at 4.8 against AutoSilent's 3.5. Leaf Identification also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 183). AutoSilent's advantage is review sentiment (42% vs 34%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AutoSilent sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Leaf Identification sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Leaf Identification holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leaf Identification has 1.4K ratings behind it against 183, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of AutoSilent's written reviews are positive against 34% of Leaf Identification's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AutoSilent ships an update every 3 weeks, Leaf Identification fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
