What’s free in Pixy
Pixy is free to download, and everything you need to actually track a child is free to use: six quick-log modules, Sleep Window prediction, daily routines, reports, home screen widgets, and a daily go at each of the three AI tools. No trial period and no card. A subscription is what you reach for later, when you want the whole history rather than the recent stretch and the rest of the family on the account.
What you get without paying anything
All of it from the first launch, and none of it on a countdown. You can even start before making an account — the logs follow you when you sign up.
- Six quick-log modules on one screen — sleep, feeding, health, potty, activity and game
- Sleep Window prediction, built from your own child’s wake windows rather than an age chart
- A bedtime target for the age, with the wake-up time worked backwards
- Logging in plain language — “she slept two hours” files itself
- Daily routines with morning, afternoon and evening blocks, reminders and one-tap completion
- Reports that read the log back: sleep rhythm, night wakings, bedtime drift, food variety
- Home screen widgets on iOS and Android, lock screen included, with quick action buttons
- Growth charts with height, weight and head circumference against WHO percentiles
- Developmental milestones, physical and cognitive, from the first year to twelve
- A food checker that flags allergen risk and walks the three-day rule, plus eighteen first foods
- A daily go at all three AI tools — the chat, bedtime stories and Smart Nutrition
- Mood tracking through the day, and a one-line read on how the day went
- Memories, for the moments that are not measurements
- Offline logging that syncs when the signal comes back
- Your complete record as JSON, whenever you want it
- Pixy Community — a parent forum, moderated
Where it grows with you
The free version is built for one parent and one child, and it holds the recent stretch of the record — which is the part you look at. Premium is where it opens up: the whole history back to the first day, as many routines and memories as you care to keep, the AI on tap rather than rationed, and the PDF health file that turns a year of logs into something you can hand a doctor. It is also how the rest of the household joins — partner, grandparent or nanny, with parent and caregiver roles, and room for the second and third child. Three tiers, Solo Parent, Core Family and Big Family, monthly or yearly.
No trial, no card, no countdown
The free features do not expire and never ask for a card. This matters more than it sounds: “free” in this category often means fourteen days, and a prediction that stops working in the third week of a newborn’s life is worse than one you never had.
Questions parents ask
Is Pixy free?
Yes, for tracking, and not on a trial. The six quick-log modules, Sleep Window prediction, plain-language logging, daily routines, reports, widgets, growth charts, milestones, the food checker, mood, Memories, offline logging, JSON export and the community are all in the free version, along with a daily go at each of the three AI tools. A subscription opens the full history, unlimited routines and memories, more AI, the PDF health file, and more children and adults on one account.
Does Pixy charge for sleep prediction?
No. Sleep Window prediction is free, and it reads your own child’s logged wake windows rather than an age chart. Huckleberry and Baby Tracker both place their equivalent behind a paid tier, and Napper’s free version gives a schedule by age with personalisation paid; Sofi does not charge, and neither do a growing number of smaller trackers. Free prediction is a commodity rather than a rarity, so it is a reason not to pay for it elsewhere rather than a reason to pick Pixy.
Do I have to pay to use the AI?
No. A free account can open the chat, generate a bedtime story and ask Smart Nutrition straight away — there is a daily and weekly allowance rather than a wall, so you find out what they are like before deciding anything. A subscription raises the volume considerably.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. Settings has Download My Data, which hands you the complete record — profile, every log and every routine — as a JSON file, at no cost. Reports also save as a PDF health file for a doctor’s visit, which comes with a subscription.
Can both parents use it?
Yes, on a subscription — a shared child profile with real-time sync, invitations, and parent and caregiver roles for a partner, a grandparent or a nanny. A free account is set up for one adult and one child, so the family tiers are what to look at if two people will be logging.
Can I try Premium before paying?
The store handles any introductory offer, so check the current listing. What this page can promise is the other direction: the free features are not on a countdown and will not stop working.
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.
