Every plant app scores the plant. GrowSpot scores the spot. Lay your phone down at the exact place you're considering, a windowsill or a shelf, and it takes a real light reading right there, then folds in temperature, humidity and airflow to judge whether that specific plant can live in that specific spot. No fake precision: estimates are labeled as estimates. Free tier: 2 spots, 2 plants with full matching, and 20 AI scans a month. iPhone and Android; free web spot checker at growspotapp.com.
I kept killing plants by putting them in the wrong place, and every app I tried scored the *plant* — watering schedules, species care — but nobody would answer the question I actually had: "can this plant live on *this* shelf?"
So GrowSpot scores the spot. You lay your phone down where the plant would sit, it takes a real light reading right there, then folds in temperature, humidity and airflow for that exact place. Estimates are labeled as estimates — if we can't assess a spot honestly, we say so (there's a whole page about what we can't tell you: growspotapp.com/limits).
Free tier is a real free tier: 2 spots, 2 plants with full matching, and 20 AI scans a month. There's also a free web spot checker that needs no sign-up if you just want to try the idea.
If you want to kick the tires properly: Plus is free for 90 days on both platforms, no code needed, at growspotapp.com/founding.
I'd love honest feedback — especially from anyone whose windowsill has a body count.
