Tiny Baby Tracker vs Baby Connect
Baby Connect tracks almost everything, from feeds and pumping to growth, vaccines, and milestones, but it needs a subscription after a 7-day trial. Tiny Baby Tracker covers the daily log and growth, and it is free.
If you want a free Baby Connect alternative for feeds, diapers, sleep, and pumping that your partner can join at no cost, that is what Tiny Baby Tracker is.
Which one should you use?
Pick Baby Connect if
you want one paid app for daily logs, health records, milestones, and milk stash tracking, or you need nanny and daycare features like access levels and caregiver messages. It's also the pick if you use Alexa or an Apple Watch.
Pick Tiny Baby Tracker if
you mostly need the last feed, the last side, and today's diapers, and you don't want a subscription for that. Every caregiver gets their own free sign-in.
Is Baby Connect free?
No. New users get a 7-day free trial. After that, Baby Connect says a subscription is required to save entries, and without one the app is read-only.
The US App Store lists the Family plan at $6.99 for up to 5 children, plus $29.99 for 6 months and $49.99 for 12 months. The listing doesn't print the billing period for the $6.99 plan. When Baby Connect moved to subscriptions in 2021, the Family plan was $4.99 a month. The Professional plan is $14.99 for up to 15 children.
One subscription covers all devices and every family member or caregiver.

What Baby Connect does better
Tracks nearly everything
Baby Connect logs temperature, medicine, vaccines, doctor visits, milestones, potty training, and photos, and its growth charts use both CDC and WHO percentiles. Tiny Baby Tracker covers feeds, diapers, sleep, pumping, solids, growth with WHO percentiles, and Vitamin D.
Milk stash tracking
Pumping parents can track stored milk with numbered bottles and a supply forecast. App Store reviews from pumping parents and a newborn care specialist praise it.
Built for nannies and daycare
Caregivers can have different access levels and send messages to each other. A Professional plan covers up to 15 children for care workers.
Watch and voice
Baby Connect has an Apple Watch app and Siri and Alexa commands. Tiny Baby Tracker doesn't have a watch app or voice logging.
What Tiny Baby Tracker does better
Free after day seven
There is no trial and no subscription, so your log never turns read-only. Baby Connect needs a paid plan to keep saving entries after the first week. Growth charts and CSV export are free too.
A heads-up when your partner starts a feed
Turn on feed alerts and your phone buzzes when someone else in the family starts a breastfeed, so you know without asking.
Next feed at a glance
The home screen shows the time since the last feed, the last side, and when the next feed usually comes, based on the last three days.
Works offline
Entries save on your phone first and sync within seconds once you are back online. Add it to your home screen and it opens full screen like an app.
How to switch from Baby Connect
Tiny Baby Tracker can't import a Baby Connect log. While your subscription is active, use Baby Connect's export to email yourself a CSV or HTML copy of your history.
Then open the tracker, sign in with your email, and add your baby. Send the invite link from Settings to your partner, and log the next feed in both apps if you want a day of overlap.
