Plant Planner Lifetime is the only Australian-built option with a one-off price, a full bed-planning system (not just a calendar), and family-size crop maths. Gardenate is a brilliant free calendar, we link to it from our planting guides, but it doesn’t draw beds, run reminders, or calculate how much to plant.
No. The free Seedling plan covers your first bed with full crop recommendations, a planting schedule, and nursery shopping lists, no card, no trial, no expiry.
Yes. Subscriptions cancel in two clicks from your billing page and keep working until the end of your paid period. Cancellation stops the next renewal; change-of-mind refunds are not offered.
Your data stays. If you exceed your new plan's bed limit, your extra beds are kept read-only, re-upgrade any time to unlock them again.
Free is great for a single bed you plan once and check now and then. Grower is for running a real patch across the whole season: reminders the morning before each sow window, succession planning, companion layouts, and yield tracking. It pays for itself the first time it saves you a planting window.
Yes. One $99 payment, Homestead features for as long as Plant Planner exists, every future feature included, even when we raise the monthly rate.
