Our pick, if you want it free

Side by side

Where Huckleberry is better

Expert sleep plans. Huckleberry’s Premium tier writes a sleep plan for your child and adds Berry, its round-the-clock parenting guidance. Neither Napper nor Pixy sells a plan like that. If your problem is not “when” but “what do I do about it”, that is what you would be paying for. It also gives two weeks of free access to its advanced features to try.

Where Napper is better

A free schedule and your own language. Napper’s free version sets a sleep schedule by age, which Huckleberry’s free tier does not, and its listing covers fifteen languages to Huckleberry’s one. Its paid plan adds a science-based sleep course and a library of sleep sounds.

How to choose

• Pixy, if you want the prediction fitted to your own child without paying, and the rest of the day in the same app.
• Huckleberry Premium, if you want an expert to write the plan and you read English.
• Napper, if sleep is the whole reason you are tracking and the course and sounds appeal.
