# Tree Identifier vs Tree Identification

The clearest difference is rating: Tree Identification at 5.0 against Tree Identifier's 4.0. Tree Identifier's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (298 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tree Identifier sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Tree Identification sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tree Identification holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tree Identifier has 298 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Tree Identifier's written reviews are positive against 0% of Tree Identification's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
