Cubtale vs Huckleberry
Pick Huckleberry if sleep is the hard part. It's built around paid SweetSpot nap predictions and sleep plans. Pick Cubtale if you want pregnancy tools in the same app, a breast milk stash manager, or Cub buttons that log a feed without your phone.
Both free versions log feeds, diapers, sleep, pumping, and solids, and both let caregivers share for free. Huckleberry shares by having everyone sign in to one account. Cubtale gives each caregiver their own account.
Which one should you pick?
Pick Cubtale if
you freeze a lot of breast milk and want numbered bags and expiry dates, you want pregnancy tools in the same app, or you'd rather press a button by the crib than open an app at 3 AM. Its Premium plan also costs less than Huckleberry's paid plans.
Pick Huckleberry if
sleep is the problem you want help with. SweetSpot nap predictions and custom sleep plans need a paid plan, and the free version still covers the daily log. It also has an iPad app, which Cubtale doesn't.
Or try Tiny Baby Tracker if
you mostly need the daily log and growth charts, want every caregiver on it with their own email, and don't want a paid plan or hardware.

The biggest differences between Cubtale and Huckleberry
Sleep help
This is Huckleberry's main strength. SweetSpot suggests the next nap from about 2 months, Schedule Creator builds a day plan, and Premium adds a custom sleep plan from its sleep team. App Store reviews call SweetSpot accurate. Cubtale lists sleep prediction and age-based wake windows, but its sleep tools are a smaller part of the app.
How sharing works
Both share for free. In Huckleberry, every caregiver signs in to the same account on their own phone. In Cubtale, each caregiver creates their own account, and only the main account owner can add them. One App Store review of Cubtale likes that the partner gets a notice when a breastfeed ends.
What the paid plans cost
Cubtale's App Store plans start at $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year, and its website sells a $119 lifetime plan. Huckleberry Plus is $11.99 a month or $5.74 a month billed yearly, and Premium is $14.99 a month or $9.99 a month billed yearly. Huckleberry lists no lifetime plan.
Hardware and the milk stash
Cubtale sells Cubs, Wi-Fi buttons you stick by the crib or changing table to log a bottle, diaper, sleep, or dose. They cost $59 to $69 each and come with 3 months of Premium. Cubtale also tracks frozen milk with numbered bags, QR labels, and thaw and expiry dates. Huckleberry has neither.
What reviews say
Huckleberry has a 4.9 rating on both the App Store and Google Play. Several recent App Store reviews complain about its upgrade pop-ups and paid widgets. Cubtale has 4.8 on the App Store and 4.3 on Google Play, where several reviews after its August 2026 redesign call the app crowded. Both app stores list Cubtale as containing ads.
Cubtale and Huckleberry questions
Is Cubtale better than Huckleberry?
It depends on what you need. Huckleberry is better for nap predictions and sleep plans. Cubtale is better if you want pregnancy tools, a milk stash manager, or Cub buttons, and its Premium plan costs less.
Which is cheaper, Cubtale or Huckleberry?
Both have a free version. For paid plans, Cubtale Premium lists at $49.99 a year on the App Store. Huckleberry Plus is $5.74 a month billed yearly, about $69 a year, and Premium is $9.99 a month billed yearly. Cub buttons cost extra.
Can I use Cubtale and Huckleberry together?
You can use both, but each app keeps its own log, so every feed or diaper would need entering twice. One way around that is to do the daily log in one app and use the other for a single feature, like Cubtale's milk stash.
Can I move my Huckleberry data to Cubtale?
Cubtale says you can export from another app and send the file to its support team, who load it for you. Huckleberry emails a CSV of each child's log, and the link works for 24 hours. Going the other way won't work, because Huckleberry says it doesn't support importing data.
Which is better for sharing with a partner?
Both are free to share. Cubtale gives each caregiver their own account, while Huckleberry has everyone sign in to one account. Tiny Baby Tracker is another free option where each person joins with their own email through an invite link.
