Trace back up to 5 generations to see at a glance where a plant came from and what it has produced. 【QR plant labels you can print】 Connect to Brother P-touch printers (such as the PT-P300BT and PT-P700BT) over Bluetooth and print labels with QR codes directly. Choose which items appear on the label (cultivar name, ID code, scientific name, and more) and customize the layout. Scan a label's QR code to jump straight to that plant's record. 【PG-pass: hand off the plant and its history】 When you give, trade, or gift a plant, send its full record (cultivar, photos, pedigree, and care logs) with a single link. The recipient just taps it, and the plant is imported straight into PediGreeN. 【Manage plants in groups】 Organize plants into groups by growing area, source, or pest-control routine, and manage reminders and batch care logs per group. Care records are still saved per plant. 【Your data stays yours】 Records are stored on your device by default. Turn on iCloud sync to keep your own devices up to date. *Only the relevant data is uploaded externally when you use PG-pass. *When you use weather alerts, your location is sent to the weather data provider to retrieve the forecast. 【Pricing】 Manage up to 20 plants and 3 groups for free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LEAF MEMO at none against PediGreeN's 2. LEAF MEMO also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.6). PediGreeN's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price there is nothing between them.
