§ Compare · Checked Sept 2026
If you've looked at plant care apps, you've probably seen Blossom. It identifies plants and keeps a care schedule for each, vegetables included. We built Ezina for the whole garden, indoor and out, food included. Here is how the two compare on what they do, what they cost, and what they do with your data.
We make Ezina, so read this knowing that. Every Blossom fact below says where we found it.

§ 050 · Our edge
Give Dig an address and it pulls your lot line and your house, finds every tree around it from a laser survey, and casts their shade for every daylight hour. Blossom has no map of your yard.
Watering follows the local forecast and the heat, and outdoor beds get an amount in gallons that rain lowers. Blossom reminds on a set interval, such as every 7 days.
More than 14,000 insects and other invertebrates, from a photo. Blossom has no insect ID we could find.
Every step of Ezina's 300+ treatment plans cites a university extension service, a U.S. agency or the RHS. We found no sources published for Blossom's advice.
Native status by county, and invasive status from 43 contiguous states' lists. Blossom gives a native area, such as Central and South America, not status for your county.
No tracking for ads, an export of everything from Settings, and a written promise never to sell your data. Blossom's store labels list your location among data used to track you, and we found no export or deletion.
