top guessing which window your plants need. Plant Compass Lite points your phone at any window and tells you exactly which plants will thrive there, based on the sun's real path through your specific home. Most plant advice gives you a light level: bright indirect, low light, full sun. That tells you nothing about which window in your home actually qualifies. Plant Compass Lite does the work for you. HOW IT WORKS Point your phone's compass at a window. The app calculates how many hours of direct and indirect light that window receives, based on the sun's path for your location and the direction the window faces. Then it matches that window to plants that will genuinely do well there. WHAT YOU GET Point at any window to see its light profile Browse 200+ plants matched to real light requirements See which plants thrive, cope, or struggle at each window Search plants you own or want to buy Identify plants by photo FREE TO TRY Download and use the compass for free. Unlock unlimited plant saves and full collection tracking with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no recurring charges, ever. Plant Compass Lite was built by a plant shop owner who was tired of watching customers bring home the wrong plant for the wrong window. It is the tool that should have existed years ago.

AromaPlan's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (597 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
