PlantSnap

About the Company
PlantSnap is a robust mobile application that identifies plants, flowers, trees, cacti, succulents, and fungi. Users simply need to snap a photo of the plant, and PlantSnap tells them what it is in seconds! Their patent-pending algorithm has grown into one of the largest machine-learning image recognition models ever created.
In 2018 PlantSnap made it to the top 5 of Apple’s best-paid apps and by the summer of 2020, it was downloaded over 42 million times! Currently, it is being used in over 170 countries by over 4 million monthly active users that can enjoy PlantSnap in 37 languages! Its immense popularity led to partnerships with tech giants such as Snapchat and Huawei.
