Baby apps, compared honestly
Real yearly prices (not the “$9.99 a month” that's really an annual bill), and what each app actually does, feature by feature. Every number and check verified from each company's own listing. Ours included, on the same honest footing.

Can you take your history with you?
Worth checking before you commit years of logging to anyone, including us. Every app here lets you get at least some of it back out, which is genuinely good news and not what we expected to find.
- Export your data yourself. Huckleberry emails a CSV per child (child icon, then Export tracking data as CSV; the link lasts 24 hours). Nara exports a CSV from the child avatar on the Activity screen. Solid Starts downloads its food log and any reactions to share with a doctor, which is narrower than a whole-day export and is why it is marked partial rather than a tick. YummyYucky exports everything as JSON, plus a timeline CSV, from Settings.
- Import your history from another app. YummyYucky reads a CSV from any tracker by looking at the columns rather than the app name, so it does not have to be one we have heard of. We did not find published import documentation for the others, which is not the same as them not having it.
- History kept in full on the free plan. YummyYucky never trims what you log: the free limits are one birth and one extra caretaker, not a date. The one thing an import holds back on the free plan is recorded firsts from your old app, which wait for Plus because the memory book lives there. Huckleberry lists limited tracking history on its free tier with unlimited history on paid, though it does not publish the exact window.
A ? in that section means we could not confirm it on the company's own page. It is not a no. Saying a competitor lacks something is the claim we have the least standing to make, so we leave it unread instead.
Where each of these came from
Read on each company's own pages or their own store listing, on the dates shown. Each claim carries its own date, because reading their export instructions today says nothing about when their pricing was last checked. If any of it has moved, tell us and we will fix it.

Prices and features verified July 2026 from each company's App Store listing, pricing page, or feature page (linked below). Huckleberry is shown at its full-feature Premium tier; its Plus tier is $68.88 a year and includes the SweetSpot predictions, with the expert sleep plans reserved for Premium. Solid Starts also sells a month-to-month plan at a higher monthly rate, and at $99.99 a year it costs about what Plus does; the difference is scope, not price. Huckleberry wins on AI predictions and sleep plans, and we say so. A ~ marks a narrower version of a feature: Solid Starts exports a food log for the doctor and Huckleberry has sleep reports, where YummyYucky's checkup report covers the whole day. Subscription prices and tiers change, so we re-check these; always confirm the current price before subscribing.
Who each one is for
Best for expert-authored food guidance🥑 Solid Starts
Its real edge is a first-foods library built by pediatric feeding pros, with a photo or video showing how to serve each food. That professional sign-off is a genuine strength. It is $99.99 a year, and its app now logs foods and reactions too, but it stays food-focused. YummyYucky wraps a sourced food library into a whole-day tracker, adding feeds, sleep, diapers, a firsts keepsake, and cost tools.
Best for sleep😴 Huckleberry
Sleep is what it is built around, and its Premium tier sells sleep plans. We do not have one. We predict the next nap and a bedtime window free, from your baby's own wake windows, but that is a heads-up, not a plan. It is not a food or allergen tool, and Premium is $119.88 a year past the monthly framing.
Best for basic tracking🍼 Nara
Nara is an ad-free tracker for feeds, sleep, and diapers with caregiver sharing, and it is well loved for exactly that. It is not a food or allergen tool, with no food library or keepsake. Their own FAQ now prices it at $9.99 a month or $99.99 once, with a seven-day trial for new families, and families already using it were emailed an October 8, 2026 start date. The FAQ says people who do not subscribe keep viewing and exporting their data but cannot add new entries, so if you use it, the thing worth doing is exporting your history either way. YummyYucky's free tier covers the same daily logging and adds the food library and allergen watch on top.
Best for the whole day💛 YummyYucky
Solids, feeds, sleep, and diapers, an allergen radar, a sourced food library of 1000+ foods, the firsts keepsake, and diaper and formula price tracking that can pay for itself. Not the sleep-prediction app, the honest everything-else one, at $99 a year.
Why YummyYucky
- The whole day in one place, not just food or just sleep.
- Safety always free: the allergen radar, watch window, and reaction logging.
- Priced in plain English, shown as the real yearly number.
- Pays for itself: catch a better diaper or formula price a couple of times a year and Plus has covered its own cost.
Free to start. Upgrade only if the whole-day tools, reports, keepsake, and price tracking are worth it for your family.
Already using one of these?
All of them let you export, so none of this locks you in. If you are moving, switching from Huckleberry and switching from Nara Baby walk through getting your file out and what does and does not come across. There is also an honest look at the alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
How much does YummyYucky cost compared to Solid Starts and Huckleberry?
YummyYucky Plus is $99 a year. Solid Starts is $99.99 a year for its food database. Huckleberry advertises "$9.99/month" for Premium, but it is billed annually, so the real cost is $119.88 a year (their cheaper Plus tier is $68.88 and includes the SweetSpot predictions; the expert sleep plans are what Premium adds). YummyYucky covers the whole day, not just food or just sleep, and shows its price as the real yearly number. Prices verified July 2026 from each company's own listing.
Is Huckleberry really $9.99 a month?
That price is billed annually, so you pay $119.88 up front for Premium, not $9.99 as a month-to-month charge. Leading with the monthly equivalent is a common way annual subscriptions are presented. We show every app as its real yearly cost so you can compare honestly.
Which baby app is best?
It depends on your battle. If you want expert, video-rich first-foods guidance from pediatric feeding pros, Solid Starts is great at that one thing (YummyYucky wraps a sourced food library into a whole-day tracker, just without the on-staff feeding team). If you want a sleep plan to follow, Huckleberry sells one and we do not. We predict the next nap and a bedtime window free, but that is a heads-up, not a plan. If you want the whole day in one honest place, plus allergen tracking and price tracking that helps pay for itself, that is YummyYucky.
Are safety features paid?
In YummyYucky, no. The allergen radar, the watch window, and reaction logging are always free on every plan. You pay for capacity, the keepsake, video, and the savings tools, never for safety.
See exactly what is free and what is Plus
The whole daily loop and all the safety features are free forever, funded by parents, never their data. Plus adds the keepsake, coordination, and a pediatrician-ready report. Cancel anytime.
