Leafsight review (2026): what it does and what it doesn't, from its maker

Leafsight is a narrow app: it looks at one photo of a plant that looks wrong and tells you the likely problem, how serious it looks, how sure it is and what to try first. It is good at that one job and leaves out most of what bigger plant apps do. This review is written by Andria Labs, the maker of Leafsight, so read it as the maker's account; every fact on it is one this site publishes elsewhere.

What it does well

It shows how sure it is. Every result carries the model's confidence, and below a set level it says it is not sure and asks for another photo.
It says what a photo can't show. The full result names what one photo misses: roots, soil, the room.
Careful care steps. Non-chemical steps first, product types rather than brands, never a dose, and a reminder to follow the label.
Before and after. A new photo of a saved plant is compared with the last one and called better, about the same or worse.
No price screen before the first result. You can take your first photo before making an account, and there are no ads.

What it doesn't do

No light meter. Plant care apps such as Planta, Plantum and Bloom have one; Leafsight doesn't. The free window light check on this site gives a rough answer by window direction.
No human experts. No botanist or person reviews a result or answers questions; for a valuable plant, or anything you might eat, ask a garden centre or a plant clinic.
iPhone and iPad only. There is no Android app and no version in a browser.
It doesn't name plants. For the species, use an identifier such as PlantNet or PictureThis.
No watering or feeding schedules. It has check-in reminders and a Home Screen widget, not a care calendar for a collection.
No published accuracy rate. An assessment comes from one photo and can be wrong, sometimes confidently.

What it costs (US prices)

Free account: up to 5 assessments a day; the first result that finds a problem includes its care steps.
Unlock one result: $2.99, one time, with no subscription.
Leafsight Pro: $5.99 a week with a 3-day free trial, $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year or $49.99 once. Pro shows the care steps on every result, up to 100 assessments a day.

The App Store shows your local price, and the price is on the screen before any trial starts. Every plan is on the pricing page.

How do you cancel?

On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, tap Leafsight, then Cancel Subscription. Deleting the app does not cancel it. To avoid the first charge of a free trial, cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Apple handles refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Who should pick something else?

If you mainly want to name plants, keep a whole collection on a schedule, use Android or ask a person, another app fits better: the PictureThis alternatives page compares the options with dated facts. If one plant looks wrong and you want a careful first answer, Leafsight is built for that moment.
