Point your camera at any plant and Rootfolio tells you what it is. Then it becomes part of your collection: a living Plant Passport with its photo, scientific name, origin, rarity, care needs, and your own notes on where you got it and what it's worth. Rootfolio is built for people who love their plants. The Today tab shows exactly which plants need watering, misting, feeding, or repotting, and one tap logs it done. Add growth photos over time and watch each plant's story build in the journal. Tap Listen and the app reads a plant's profile out loud while your hands are busy repotting. Every plant you add by hand is free, forever. AI scanning includes 10 free identifications each month. Rootfolio Plus removes the limit with a monthly or yearly subscription. Your collection lives on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlashInvaders at none against Rootfolio's 2. FlashInvaders also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). Rootfolio's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
