GrowSpot
Reads the Spot, Not the Room
Every plant app scores the plant. GrowSpot scores the spot. Lay your phone down at the exact place you're considering - a windowsill, a shelf, the corner by the AC - and it takes a real light reading right there, then folds in temperature, humidity and airflow to judge whether that specific plant can live in that specific spot. It re-scores as seasons change and compares two spots head to head. No fake precision: estimates are labeled as estimates. Free tier: 2 spots, 2 plants, full features, 20 photo IDs a month. On iPhone and Android; free web spot checker at growspotapp.com.

Plant advice is written about plants, but the decision is always about a place - this shelf, that windowsill, the corner by the AC. So GrowSpot scores the spot instead: you lay the phone down where the pot would actually sit, it takes a light reading right there, and folds in temperature, humidity and airflow before saying whether that particular plant can live there. The part I care most about is that estimates are labelled as estimates. A phone sensor is good enough to tell one spot from another and not good enough to quote to three digits, and pretending otherwise is how people end up trusting a number instead of their plant. There is a free spot checker on the web if you want to try it without installing anything, and the free tier of the app covers 2 spots, 2 plants and 20 photo IDs a month. Happy to answer anything here.
