# TreeID vs Nature Guide

The clearest difference is rating: Nature Guide at 5.0 against TreeID's 4.4. TreeID's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (236 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TreeID sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year and Nature Guide sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nature Guide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TreeID has 236 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TreeID ships an update every 10 days, Nature Guide weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
