Tiny Baby Tracker vs Sprout Baby
Sprout Baby is a full tracker with growth charts, widgets, and Apple Watch logging, but it is paid after a free trial. Tiny Baby Tracker logs feeds, diapers, sleep, pumping, and growth for free, with no trial and no subscription.
If you want more charts, a nap forecast, and watch logging, Sprout Baby does more. If you want a free Sprout Baby alternative that your partner can join with their own email, that's what Tiny Baby Tracker is.
Which one should you use?
Pick Sprout Baby if
you want CDC growth charts and a preemie mode, milestones, medicine, photos, and detailed charts in one app, and you're happy to pay. It's also the pick if you log from an Apple Watch or want home screen widgets.
Pick Tiny Baby Tracker if
you mostly need to know when baby last ate, which side, and how many diapers today, without a subscription. Every caregiver gets their own sign-in for free.
Is Sprout Baby free?
Only during the trial. Sprout Baby offers a free trial of its Premium features, and then it needs a subscription to keep logging.
If the subscription ends, Sprout says you can still see all the data you entered and export it, but you can't add new entries. There is no free tier for logging.
The App Store lists yearly, monthly, and weekly Premium options, and the listed prices vary, so check the App Store or Google Play for what you will pay. One purchase covers the whole family: other devices can join without buying it again.

What Sprout Baby does better
Much more to track
Sprout Baby adds CDC growth charts and a preemie mode to its WHO charts, plus milestones, medicine, immunizations, doctor visits, and photo memories. Tiny Baby Tracker covers feeds, diapers, sleep, pumping, solids, Vitamin D, and growth with WHO percentiles up to age 2.
Charts for data lovers
App Store reviewers praise its trend charts and daily summaries, and one calls it "a data junkie's dream." It also makes a doctor report and a PDF keepsake book.
Phone and watch extras
Sprout Baby has home and lock screen widgets, Live Activities, Siri Shortcuts, and an Apple Watch app with double tap. Tiny Baby Tracker runs in your browser and doesn't have any of these.
Nap forecast
Sleep Forecast predicts naps and wake windows on iPhone. Sprout says it is not on Android yet. Tiny Baby Tracker does not predict sleep.
What Tiny Baby Tracker does better
Free to keep logging
Sprout Baby stops taking new entries when the trial or subscription ends. Tiny Baby Tracker has no trial and no paid tier, so logging never stops.
Everyone gets their own sign-in
Sprout Baby links phones to one purchase with a PIN or QR code. Tiny Baby Tracker sends an invite link, each person signs in with their own email, and there is no limit on caregivers.
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.
Nothing to download
It opens in Safari or Chrome on any phone or computer. Add it to your home screen and it works like an app, even with no signal. Entries sync when you are back online.
How to switch from Sprout Baby
Tiny Baby Tracker can't import a Sprout Baby log. Sprout lets you email yourself a CSV of your data, even after the subscription ends, so save a copy before you switch.
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.
