Cheaper Huckleberry Alternatives for iPhone

If Huckleberry costs more than you want to pay, five other apps are worth a look besides Vivi Baby. They are Nara Baby, Baby Tracker by Nighp, Talli, Glow Baby and Baby Daybook. Nara, Talli and Baby Daybook say they run on Android. Vivi Baby is for iPhone and Apple Watch only. It keeps the log in your own iCloud Drive and imports a Huckleberry CSV. To compare two apps side by side, see Vivi Baby versus Huckleberry.

What to check before you switch

Huckleberry’s free tier has basic logging, pattern reports and syncing across devices. The paid tiers add SweetSpot nap and bedtime predictions and Insights (Plus), and Berry chat and sleep plans (Premium). Decide which of these you use, then check the points below.

Which paid feature do you use? If you only log feeds, sleep and diapers, most apps below do that for free. If you rely on nap predictions, check that the new app has a similar one and whether it is paid.
Every phone in the house. Check platforms for both parents and any grandparent or nanny. An iPhone-only app does not help a caregiver on Android.
How sharing works and who pays. Some apps ask each caregiver for an account. Some cover all caregivers with one subscription.
Where the data lives. Read the privacy details on each App Store page before you choose.
Export. Check that you can get your data out later, as CSV or PDF.
Your history. Get your Huckleberry export first. The steps are near the end of this page.

Prices below come from each company’s own pages on 2026-09-30. They change often and can differ by country. Check the store before you pay.

Six Huckleberry alternatives

Vivi Baby

Platforms: iPhone (iOS 18 or later) and Apple Watch (watchOS 26 or later). No iPad, no Android.
Price model: Logging, History, Trends, search, sharing, Watch, widgets, Live Activities, Siri, import and export are free. Vivi Plus adds Sleepy Time (a next nap and bedtime estimate), Insights and Checkups for $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year, with a 14-day free trial that starts only when you open a Plus feature and choose it. See Vivi Plus pricing.
Sharing: You invite caregivers to the family folder. They see, add, edit and delete everything in it, and they log for free. Vivi Plus supports Apple Family Sharing, so one subscription covers your group. Someone outside it needs a subscription only for Plus features.
Strength: Entries are Markdown files, plus photos, in your own iCloud Drive. There is no account, no ads and no tracking. Your baby’s log is not uploaded to Vivi’s servers. One small relay run by Vivi carries anonymous timer state and encrypted Live Activity tokens, so a running timer shows on other devices. More on this in the private baby tracker page.
Weakness: No Android and no iPad. It has no expert sleep plans or chat. Sleepy Time is a rule-based estimate that runs on the device, and it is not a coaching program.

Nara Baby

Platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision on the App Store. Nara’s FAQ says it also runs on Android.
Price model: Free with in-app purchases. The FAQ lists $9.99 per month or $99.99 lifetime, after a 7-day free trial. The App Store lists monthly plans from $6.99 to $9.99 and lifetime plans from $49.99 to $99.99, so the price you see may differ. Without a plan, Nara only lets you view and export your data.
Sharing: You invite caregivers from the Family tab, and each gets an email to create an account. One payment covers all caregivers you invited.
Strength: You can log your own physical and mental health during pregnancy and after birth. It supports several children and exports a CSV from the child’s avatar.
Weakness: Every caregiver needs an account. The App Store privacy notice says usage data may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies.

Baby Tracker by Nighp

Platforms: The listing mentions Apple Watch and Home Screen widgets. We could not confirm other platforms from the page we read.
Price model: Free tracking. Baby Tracker Plus costs $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year. It removes ads and adds What’s Next, which you can preview free for three days.
Sharing: The listing says records stay in sync across devices and caregivers can reach shared data.
Strength: Free tracking covers feeding with nursing timers, sleep, diapers, pumping and growth against WHO standards. It has PDF export for health providers. The listing says What’s Next cues are processed on the device.
Weakness: Plus is the ad-free tier, which suggests the free version shows ads. What’s Next gives timing cues. The developer calls it “guidance, not a schedule”, so it is not a sleep plan.

Talli

Platforms: iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision on the App Store. Talli’s site says the app is on iOS and Android. The App Store page does not list Apple Watch.
Price model: Free, with a premium subscription at $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year.
Sharing: You can invite partners, grandparents and nannies. Everyone logs in on their own and sees updates in real time.
Strength: The app has CSV export, Alexa voice logging and customizable buttons. Owners of the one-touch hardware logger get premium features free.
Weakness: Talli paused making the hardware because of higher production and import costs, and its stock is sold out. The app remains available. It has no Apple Watch listing.

Glow Baby

Platforms: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision and Apple Watch on the App Store. We found no Android claim on the pages we read.
Price model: Free with in-app purchases. Glow Premium is $59.99 per year after a 7-day trial, or $79.99 for lifetime access. Glow’s site says Premium covers all four Glow apps.
Sharing: Not listed on the pages we read.
Strength: It links to Glow’s pregnancy and fertility apps and articles. That suits a family that already uses them.
Weakness: Premium is sold as a suite. Part of it is health content, such as an AI health assistant, not baby tracking. The App Store privacy details list health data, location, contact information and usage analytics, linked to identity and used for advertising, analytics and personalization.

Baby Daybook

Platforms: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision Pro on the App Store. Baby Daybook’s Premium page says one subscription works on Android and iOS.
Price model: Free with in-app purchases. The App Store lists Premium options from $1.99 to $9.99 monthly, $59.99 yearly and a lifetime option, so check the price you see.
Sharing: The App Store lists instant syncing with caregivers. Caregivers connected to your shared baby profiles get Premium features without buying them.
Strength: It works on iOS and Android with one plan. Premium adds sleep predictions with nap and bedtime suggestions, advanced statistics, growth charts and PDF export.
Weakness: Sleep predictions and advanced statistics are Premium features, so a free family does not get them.

How to move your Huckleberry history to Vivi Baby

Our step-by-step guide to exporting Huckleberry data goes into more detail, including what’s in the CSV.

You move your history with a CSV file from Huckleberry.

Get the export from Huckleberry. In the Huckleberry app, tap the child profile icon in the menu bar, scroll down and tap Export tracking data as CSV, then tap Got it! Email it. Huckleberry emails a download link to your account address. The link works for 24 hours, and you can ask for a new one. You get one file per child, with sleep, feeding, diapers and the rest.
Repeat for each child. A Huckleberry export holds one child, and Vivi Baby imports each child on its own.
Save the CSV file somewhere the iPhone can reach, such as iCloud Drive or Files.
Open the import. In Vivi Baby, go to Preferences, find the Import section and tap “Import from Huckleberry…”. During first-time setup, the same option is on the import step.
Read the preview. It lists the entry types with counts and the date range in the file.
Choose the details Huckleberry does not save. Pick a new child or an existing one, then the time zone you were in when you tracked. Huckleberry saves times without a time zone. If the file has pumping, choose which parent owns those sessions, or skip pumping.
Tap Import. Vivi Baby checks the file first. It offers to skip entries that look like ones you already have, and asks before it replaces entries from an earlier import.
Check History. Vivi Baby flags entries that look odd, for example a sleep with no end. A full list is saved in the family folder under imports/huckleberry.

Some values move as notes. Values Vivi Baby has no field for, such as diaper size, are kept in the entry’s note, and Potty entries become a “Potty” routine. Importing the same file again does not create duplicates. Vivi Baby does not read Huckleberry’s SweetSpot predictions or Berry chats, because the export holds only tracked entries.

Who should choose which app

You want to keep logging and keep your data close: Vivi Baby, if everyone in the family uses an iPhone. See Vivi Plus pricing.
The family mixes iPhone and Android: Nara Baby, Talli or Baby Daybook, which say they run on both.
You want a low premium price: Talli, at $3.99 per month. Its Apple Watch support is not listed.
You use a Mac or an iPad a lot: Nara Baby, Glow Baby or Baby Daybook.
You already use Glow for pregnancy or fertility: Glow Baby.
You use Huckleberry mostly for sleep coaching and Berry: Huckleberry has sleep plans and chat, and none of the other apps here lists both. You may want to stay, or to switch only the logging.
