App vs browser
Planter is a mobile app for visual square-foot garden planning. The free version limits you to one garden bed — Premium at $24.99/year removes the limit and adds web access.
PlantingCalendar is a browser-based tool focused on USDA zone lookup and planting calendar. No app to install, no bed limit because there are no beds — just fast zone and date information.
Use both
They complement each other: use PlantingCalendar to find your zone and planting dates, then use Planter to lay out the visual garden design.
