Baby apps, compared by people who built one
Yes, we built one of these. Which makes us spectacularly unqualified to hand ourselves the trophy, so we are not going to.
What follows is real yearly prices (not the “$9.99 a month” that's really an annual bill) and what each app actually does, feature by feature, verified from each company's own listing. Ours included, on the same footing. We will tell you where YummyYucky fits at the end, and you should assume we are biased about that part.

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's own pages do not say how much history its free tier keeps.
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.
- Huckleberry: CSV export (2026-08-31), free tier (2026-10-05), pricing and tiers (2026-10-05), solids, allergy tracking and serving guides (2026-10-28)
- Solid Starts: app features and food-log download (2026-10-05), price (2026-10-05)
- Baby Connect: reports and CSV/HTML export (2026-10-05)
- Glow Baby: features, premium pricing, export (2026-10-05)

Prices and features verified October 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. Huckleberry and Nara both log solids alongside feeds, sleep and diapers. Huckleberry added allergy tracking and serving tips for each food in October 2026; we found no allergen tracking on Nara's pages. Subscription prices and tiers change, so we re-check these; always confirm the current price before subscribing.
A ~ marks a narrower version of a feature. Here is what each one means:
- Food library: Nara preloads dozens of first foods to log solids against, without the prep-by-age guidance of a food library.
- Next nap: Nara counts down to the next nap from a wake window you choose, moved earlier or later by when your baby last woke up. YummyYucky reads the wake windows from your baby's own logs and, from 8 months, adds a bedtime window from their own recent bedtimes.
- Checkup report: Solid Starts exports a food log for the doctor, Huckleberry's reports cover sleep, feeding and growth milestones, with an allergy report to share since October 2026, and Nara shares bowel habits with your pediatrician. YummyYucky's checkup report covers the whole day.
- Firsts: Nara saves notes and photos for firsts like the first smile, steps and teeth, Huckleberry's reports track growth milestones, and Solid Starts logs milestones alongside foods and reactions. YummyYucky gathers firsts into a journey and a printable memory book.
A ✗ means we found nothing like it on the company's own pages. If it is there and we missed it, tell us and we will fix it.
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. The database is free to use, All Access 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 free, from your baby's own wake windows once a few are logged. From 8 months, with a few bedtimes logged, we add a bedtime window from their own recent bedtimes. Both are a heads-up, not a plan. Since its October 2026 update, Huckleberry also tracks allergens and has serving tips for each food. 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 logs solids too, from a preloaded list of first foods, but it is not a food or allergen tool: we did not find prep-by-age guidance or allergen tracking on its pages. 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 keeps that same daily logging free, and includes the food library and allergen tools.
Where YummyYucky fits💛 YummyYucky
Solids, feeds, sleep, and diapers, an allergen radar, a sourced food library of 1100+ foods, the firsts keepsake, and diaper and formula price tracking. Not the sleep-prediction app, the honest everything-else one, at $99 a year.
Why we built it this way
- The whole day in one place, because babies refuse to stay inside product categories.
- Safety always free: the allergen radar, watch window, and reaction logging.
- Priced in plain English, shown as the real yearly number, not the friendliest-looking monthly fraction.
- Diaper and formula price tracking, so you can see what you actually pay per diaper and catch a better price when one shows up. Whether that adds up to more than Plus costs depends entirely on how much you buy.
What we are not good at
This is the part these lists usually leave out, so: we do not track everything. We log the baby's day, not yours. If you want your own workouts, meals or chores in the same app, we do not have that and we are not planning to.
Huckleberry has years more work behind its sleep tooling than we do, and if sleep is the thing wrecking your house, that gap is real. Solid Starts has pediatric feeding professionals on staff and the brand recognition that comes with it. We have a sourced library and citations, which is not the same as having the people.
And we are young. We are building quickly, but young is young, and there is no font that fixes it. If those things matter more to you than the whole-day tracking, use them. We would rather you had the right app than our app.
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' food database is free to use, and its All Access plan is $99.99 a year. 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 October 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, with the allergen tracker free on every plan, a keepsake memory book, and price tracking that shows what you actually pay per diaper, 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.
