Powered by Machine Learning with 98% identification accuracy, PlantIn lets you create personalized care plans, get expert advice from real botanists, and connect with a global community of plant lovers. We make care simple and enjoyable, giving you all the tools and guidance you need – whether you’re just starting out or already a seasoned green thumb.
The Story of PlantIn
We created PlantIn from a simple truth: “People love having leafy companions at home, but often struggle to care for them”
Online resources were overwhelming and contradictory, and most existing apps felt like encyclopedias. This insight inspired us to take action.
Brothers Mykhaylo and Dmytro Grynets launched PlantIn — an app that makes plant care simple and accessible. What started as a small project quickly grew into a global solution helping millions keep their plants healthy.
The team introduced CoinIn — an app for identifying rare coins, estimating their value, and exploring their history. Today, PlantIn and CoinIn form a family of AI-powered tools designed to make hobbies more engaging and accessible.
Our roots are in plant care, but our vision is broader: using technology to connect people with what they love.
Our Mission

A Plant Hero is someone who knows how to keep greenies healthy, can recognize countless species, and shares their knowledge with others. That’s why PlantIn not only provides expert guidance on caring for tens of thousands of species, but also brings people together into a supportive global community where they can always find advice, inspiration, and help.
