We researched Click & Grow's official pricing, terms, product pages, help pages and outside reviews. We haven't used Click & Grow ourselves, so this is a research-based review, not a hands-on test.

Who it’s best for

  • Home cooks who want fresh herbs.
  • Beginners with no gardening experience.
  • Small kitchens.

Who should skip it

  • Probably not the best fit if you want to grow lots of produce.

What it costs

  • Smart Garden 9 $249.95; Click & Grow 25 $949.95 (official store, checked October 29, 2026).

What we like

  • Small countertop units.
  • Simple pods with no app needed.
  • Larger 25-plant model for more greens.
  • Lower starting price than floor units.

What to watch for

  • Trustpilot showed 3.3 out of 5 from about 249 reviews as of October 29, 2026, with 21% 1-star reviews.
  • Returns only for unused units, and you pay return shipping.
  • Warranty length is stated differently on product pages (1 year) and its help desk (2 years).

The fine print

  • Return within 30 days of delivery, in original packaging.
  • Pods are an ongoing cost.
  • Check which warranty applies to your model.
