Huckleberry vs Nara Baby: what each gives you free
Huckleberry’s free tier keeps tracking free forever; SweetSpot prediction, AI logging and widgets are Plus, and expert sleep plans are Premium. Nara Baby gives seven days of full access, then becomes read-only unless you subscribe, monthly or with a one-off lifetime plan that includes unlimited caregivers. Both App Store listings are English only. If you want tracking and a personalised nap prediction both free, in your own language, Pixy does that.

Questions parents ask
Is Nara Baby still free?

Is Huckleberry or Nara better?
Huckleberry if you want sleep help and are willing to pay for prediction or an expert plan; its tracking stays free. Nara if you like its design and will pay once for lifetime access with unlimited caregivers. If you want prediction fitted to your child without paying at all, Pixy includes it free.
Are Huckleberry and Nara available in other languages?
Both App Store listings name English as the only language, as of 6 October 2026. Pixy runs in fifteen languages.

General information, not medical advice. Every child develops on their own timeline and the ranges here are typical, not targets. Pixy is a tracking tool, not a medical device. For anything about your child’s health, ask your paediatrician or health visitor.
Track it instead of remembering it
Pixy logs sleep, feeds and routines from newborn to age 12, and predicts the next nap from your child’s own wake windows. That part is free.
