Can I export my records?

PLNTRK documents CSV grow-data exports and a plant PDF with photos and logs. GrowPathAI offers supported timeline/report exports plus an account-export request in Profile privacy controls. Check the export you need before committing a season of records.

Where does my data live?

These are cloud-backed services, not a guarantee of local-only storage. PLNTRK's FAQ describes cloud backup. GrowPathAI's Terms say you retain ownership of your content; its Privacy page explains processing and export/deletion requests.

Is GrowPathAI always the cheaper choice?

No. PLNTRK's advertised Pro 25 annual price is lower than GrowPathAI Pro Grower. Compare the plant limit and workflows you will actually use, not just a feature count. This comparison is written by GrowPathAI, not an independent review.
