PlantDNA Terms of Service

Last updated: 16 July 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the PlantDNA mobile app ("App"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms.

The service

PlantDNA lets you take or select photos of a plant to receive an identification, general care tips, and general information about the plant. Identification is provided by third-party plant identification services and may not always be accurate.

For general information only. Plant identification is probabilistic and may be incorrect. The care tips and plant information provided by PlantDNA are for general guidance only and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Do not rely on the App as a substitute for professional botanical, horticultural, or other expert advice.

Accuracy of results

Plant identification is probabilistic and can be wrong, especially from a single or unclear photo. Always independently verify a plant's identity using a qualified professional or trusted reference source before making decisions based on the result.

Free usage and scan credits

The App provides 10 free lifetime identifications. Additional identifications can be unlocked by purchasing scan credit packs. Credits are non-expiring and are linked to your App Store or Google Play account via RevenueCat. If you change devices or reinstall the App, you can recover your purchased credits by tapping "Restore Purchases" in the paywall screen. Free scan usage counters are tied to a device identifier and may reset on a new device.

If you purchased on iOS: purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's refund policy. To request a refund, visit Apple's "Request a refund" page or use the Report a Problem feature in your purchase history.

Acceptable use

No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability
