Birdfy removes daily limits on smart feeder species identification

This policy shift applies to both new purchasers and existing owners of the brand’s hardware. The change removes a significant friction point for hobbyists who previously hit daily quotas while monitoring their backyard feeders. By opening the recognition database, the company pivots its revenue model toward premium data rather than basic functionality.

Advanced features remain gated behind the Birdfy Membership Plus and Pro tiers. Users willing to pay $79.99 or $149.99 annually retain access to deeper analytics, including estimates on a bird's sex, age category, and general health status. This adjustment positions the hardware as a more accessible entry point for birdwatching enthusiasts.
