Questions, answered
Plant identifier FAQ.
Is the plant identifier really free?
Yes. Tazart's plant identifier is free with no daily, weekly, or monthly cap. There's no trial period that converts to a subscription. Identification is part of the permanent free tier.
How accurate is the AI plant identifier?
Tazart's identifier is built on a vision model trained on millions of plant photos. Accuracy is highest on common houseplants, garden ornamentals, and vegetables — typically 90%+ on a clear photo of a healthy specimen. Rare succulents, hybrids, and unusual cultivars are harder; the app shows a confidence score so you know when to double-check.
Does it work on weeds, wildflowers, and trees?
Yes. The identifier covers houseplants, garden plants, vegetables, herbs, weeds, wildflowers, trees, succulents, and cacti. The catalog spans all 400,000+ documented plant species.
Can I identify plants from photos in my Photos library?
Yes. Tap the photo library icon next to the camera button to pick an existing photo. Useful for plants you photographed before installing the app.
Does it work offline?
Identification requires an internet connection because the AI runs on a remote server. Once a plant is identified and saved, its care profile and reminders work fully offline.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Tazart works without an account — you can identify, save plants, and get reminders without signing up. Optional Sign in with Apple syncs your collection across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
Is the plant identifier better than PictureThis?
PictureThis has a slightly larger training dataset for very rare ornamentals; Tazart matches it on common houseplants and garden plants. The key difference is that Tazart's identifier is free unlimited while PictureThis charges $29.99/year.
What about pet toxicity?
Every identified plant shows a clear toxicity flag for cats, dogs, and humans, sourced from ASPCA and academic toxicity databases. You see the warning on the result screen before you save the plant.
