§ Plant identifier · Checked Sept 2026

Name a plant from a photo, and see how sure the match is

Take up to four photos of one plant. Ezina’s plant identifier blends two licensed identification services, Plant.id and Pl@ntNet, and labels every match with how close it is and whether the plant is native or invasive where you live.

Free while Ezina is in Early Access. iPhone and Android, in the contiguous U.S.

§ 010 · How it works

Photograph it, check the match, add it

010.1Camera

Photograph the plant

Take or upload up to 4 photos of the same plant from different angles. Each check uses 1 credit.

Ezina's photo ID results: Purple Coneflower at a 91% high match and Pale Purple Coneflower at a 6% low match, both tagged Native here.
010.2Match

Check the match

Each result is labeled High, Medium or Low match with a percentage, and shows whether the plant is native where you live.

Searching wisteria in Ezina: American Wisteria is tagged Native here, Chinese and Japanese Wisteria are tagged Invasive.
010.3Search

Or search by name

If none of the results look right, or you already know the plant, add it by searching its name.

§ 020 · The match

A name, and how far to trust it

Pl@ntNet plus plant.id by Kindwise

1Using the best providers, together.

Your photos go to Plant.id and Pl@ntNet, both licensed identification services, and Ezina blends what they return. This gives us greater confidence and covers the gaps that each company struggles with.

2We show you the exact results

Unlike other apps, we don’t hide the full results from you.

Above 65% is a High match, 25 to 65% is Medium, and below 25% is Low.

3About 40,000 plants

Names are matched to a plant library of about 40,000, which you can also browse and filter on its own.

§ 030 · After the name

What you can do once you know the plant

  1. 1Is it native here?

    See whether the plant is native, introduced or regulated in your county, and the record behind the answer.

  2. 2Water it on time

    Add it to your plants and Ezina schedules watering around the forecast and where the plant lives.

  3. 3Treat what's wrong

    If it looks sick, photograph the problem for a treatment plan with a source on every step.

§ 040 · Accuracy

No accuracy number until it's tested

No provider is entirely transparent, so we’re going to be the first. Read more on what’s planned.

The truth on plant ID apps

No publicly accessible research shows how effective Plant ID apps are, so we’re setting the bar to help you be informed.

§ 050 · Questions

Questions about plant ID

How accurate is Ezina’s plant identifier?

Ezina publishes no accuracy number yet. Results from its written test protocol post by February 15, 2027.

Which plant identification app is most accurate?

No peer-reviewed study has measured how often the popular plant ID apps correctly name the plants people grow, so there’s no fair answer yet. Ezina will publish results from its written test protocol by February 15, 2027.

Is Ezina’s plant identifier free?

Yes, during Early Access, which includes 50 credits a month. Each identification uses 1 credit, refunded if the identification service fails. The monthly amount after launch will be set from average use.

Can Ezina identify plant diseases and insects?

Yes. Ezina’s camera has Disease and Insect modes. When the match is a disease or a pest, it leads to a treatment plan with a source on every step.

What if the photo isn't a plant?

The check still runs and still uses its credit, so get the plant clearly in frame first.

Does Ezina train its own model?

No. Photos go to Plant.id and Pl@ntNet, both licensed identification services.

Can I add a plant to Ezina without a photo?

Yes. Search for it by name and add it from the results.

Where can I use Ezina?

Ezina is in Early Access on iPhone and Android in the contiguous U.S. Seats are limited.
