MasterGrowbot Pro vs Premium: pick the plan, then pick annual

iPhone, most growers: Pro annual at $99.99. It includes photo reports, the journal, tasks and 300 strain profiles, and it costs about 27 cents a day.

iPhone, you will use video: Premium annual at $199. It adds short-video analysis and 600 strain profiles, and it costs about 55 cents a day.

Android: Pro annual at $59.99, about 16 cents a day. There is no Android Premium tier, so video analysis is not part of the Android offer.

Skip weekly billing unless you plan to cancel within a month. If you are unsure which tier fits, start Pro and upgrade later if you find yourself recording video checks.

Start the 3-day Pro trial on the App Store or get Android Pro on Google Play.

The App Store figures match the live US listing description and the owner pricing cards checked October 23, 2026. The Android prices come from the owner pricing card, because the Google Play page text lists in-app purchases without plan prices.

Both plans run the same photo analysis and the same journal. Premium is not a different diagnosis engine. It adds short-video analysis on iPhone and doubles the strain library, which is the entire feature difference.

Weekly and monthly billing exist for short evaluations, not for a season of growing. At the published rates, $7.99 per week is $415.48 over 52 weeks against $99.99 for a year of iPhone Pro. Monthly at $29.99 is $359.88 against the same $99.99. On Premium, $12.99 per week is $675.48 and $49.99 per month is $599.88, against $199 for the year. Android weekly at $6.99 is $363.48 against $59.99 annual.

Billing happens once, at the annual price. The monthly equivalents are arithmetic on published prices, not a billing option: iPhone Pro is about $8.33 per month billed yearly, Premium about $16.58, and Android Pro about $5.00. If you keep the app for a full year, annual is the cheaper route by hundreds of dollars.

The step from Pro to Premium is $99.01 per year on iPhone, about $8.25 per month or 27 cents a day. In return you get short-video plant analysis and 300 more strain profiles.

Video changes the check. A single photo shows one angle of one leaf. A short video lets you show leaves, stems and the wider room in one pass, which is useful when a problem is not visible in a still frame. If you expect to record even one video check-in a week, the step up pays for itself in use.

The 600-profile library matters if you keep strain notes across multiple runs. If your strain list stays short and your checks are single photos, Pro covers the workflow and Premium adds a feature you would rarely open.

Compare both plans in the App Store

Eligible new Pro subscribers can start with a free 3-day trial. Premium subscriptions do not include the 3-day Pro introductory trial. The owner pricing card repeats the rule: iPhone Pro carries 3 days free for eligible new subscribers, and iPhone Premium has no introductory free trial.

Trial eligibility belongs to your store account, not to this page. Read the sentence the purchase sheet shows before you confirm, because eligibility can differ between new and returning subscribers. If you start a trial, set a cancellation reminder before day three. Apple states that subscriptions renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and that you manage or cancel in your account settings.

Android Pro is $59.99 per year or $6.99 per week, with no monthly option listed. That is the lowest annual price across both stores, and it includes the same photo reports, journal and tasks.

The trade-off is the feature ceiling. There is no Android Premium tier, so short-video analysis is not available on Android at any price today. An Android buyer should compare the Pro feature set as it stands rather than paying for a plan the store does not sell.

If you also use an iPhone, the subscription is tied to the store account you bought it from, so choose the device you will actually use for checks.

Some purchases do not need a subscription. If you want equipment, the GrowTech store lists the current tents and kits with sizes and included parts, and the AG1000 100W light ships with the setup files in the same order.

If you only need a vapor pressure deficit number, the free VPD calculator runs the arithmetic without an account. Save the subscription for the photo, journal and task workflow it is built for.

1. Read the plan name and billing period on the purchase sheet, not on a comparison page.
2. Confirm whether the 3-day trial is offered to your account for the plan you selected.
3. Check the price your store shows for your region. The figures here are US pricing in US dollars.
4. Confirm the device requirement. The App Store listing states iOS 15.0 or later.
5. Confirm that video analysis appears in the plan you are buying, and that you are on iPhone.
6. Set a cancellation reminder if you chose weekly billing or a trial.
7. Cancel at least 24 hours before the next period in the same account you subscribed with.

Start on the App Store or start on Google Play.

Should I buy Pro or Premium? Buy Pro annual if your checks are single photos and 300 strain profiles are enough. Buy Premium annual if you are on iPhone and will use short-video analysis or want the 600-profile library. Premium costs $99.01 more per year, about 27 cents a day.

Should I buy annual or weekly? Annual, unless you plan to cancel within a month. Weekly iPhone Pro is $415.48 over 52 weeks against $99.99 annual, and weekly Premium is $675.48 against $199 annual.

Does Premium have a free trial? No. The 3-day introductory trial is for eligible new Pro subscribers, and Premium does not include it.

Is video analysis available on Android? Not today. Video analysis is Premium on iPhone, and the Android plan sells photo analysis and journal tools.

How many strain profiles do I get? 300 with Pro and 600 with Premium. Premium also includes breeder information on the pricing card.

Can I change plans after subscribing? Subscription purchases and upgrades are processed through the store. Manage the subscription in the account you used to buy it.

Why is Android Pro cheaper? The listings publish different annual prices for each store without a stated reason. Compare the total your own store will charge before you buy.
