PlantMaster review
A plant-focused planning and reporting workspace that complements CAD drafting tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PlantMaster is a cloud-based, web plant database and presentation tool for landscape professionals. It supports searching plants by region, size, bloom color, and growing conditions; editing records; adding custom plants and images; and organizing selections by project and design area. Solo practitioners and small offices can use it to prepare client-facing selections and documentation while keeping plant information separate from drafting software.
According to the published plans, a single user costs $35 per user monthly or $300 per user annually. Office Account plans cost $400 annually for 2 users, $500 for 3 users, or $700 for up to 5 users, each using one shared account. Student options include a $49 one-time semester plan with 5-month access and automatic closure after the term, plus a $79 annual plan that renews annually and offers a discounted student rate for up to 3 years. A 7-day free trial is available. The paid tiers center on account and access duration rather than feature variations.
PlantMaster’s standout workflow is turning plant selections into shareable client presentations, project mini-sites, reports, schedules, legends, PDFs, and printouts. It also tracks quantities, container sizes, and costs, and exchanges plant lists and schedule information with Land F/X, Vectorworks, and DynaSCAPE. Those integrations make it useful alongside established CAD applications, but PlantMaster is not a general landscape design suite: it does not provide drawing, terrain, 3D rendering, site measurement, estimating quotes, or irrigation design. Choose it for plant-centric planning and communication; choose a broader drafting or site-design platform when spatial modeling or irrigation documentation is central.
