Is Nara Baby Still Free? Cost, Subscription and What to Do Now

No. Nara Baby is now a paid app: after a 7-day free trial it costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 for a lifetime plan. If you don’t subscribe, you keep read-only access: you can view and export your history, but you can’t log anything new.

Here’s exactly what changed, what still works, and what your options are, based on Nara Baby’s own FAQ.

Nara Baby went paid: what to do now

1. Don’t panic. Nothing is deleted. Without a plan, your Nara history stays viewable and exportable.
2. Decide whether to stay. If Nara works for you, the $99.99 lifetime plan costs about ten months of the monthly one.
3. Export a backup either way. In Nara, go to Activity, tap your child’s avatar and choose Export Data. One file per child. (Step-by-step guide.)
4. If you switch, check what the free plan of the new app limits. Some free plans hide older history, which matters if you’re bringing months of entries with you.
5. Import, then spot-check. Compare a few old and recent entries with your Nara records before you stop using Nara.

We make Robin Baby, one of the free options below. Our Nara Baby alternatives comparison covers the others.

What Nara Baby costs now

Both paid plans include the same features: tracking for multiple children, unlimited caregivers, Apple Watch and Siri, trends and history, pregnancy and postpartum tracking, age-based guides and no ads.

Nara says you won’t be charged when the trial ends unless you actively choose a plan.

Prices are from Nara’s FAQ, checked on October 2, 2026. Promotions may apply to some families, so check the app for your own offer.

What still works if you don’t subscribe

After the trial, without a plan:

• You can open the app and view everything you’ve logged.
• You can export your records as a spreadsheet.
• You can’t add new feeds, sleep, diapers or anything else.

According to Nara’s FAQ, your existing records stay viewable and exportable, so you don’t have to decide in a hurry.

Your three options

1. Pay for Nara Baby

If Nara works well for your family, paying is the simplest choice. The lifetime plan costs the same as about ten months of the monthly plan, so it makes sense if you expect to track for longer than that.

2. Keep your history, track somewhere free

If you’d rather not pay, export your history and move to a tracker with a free plan. Unless the new app can import your export, you’ll start from an empty timeline.

Robin Baby avoids that: it reads Nara’s export directly and turns it back into your baby’s timeline, including the minutes for each breast. See how to export your Nara Baby data for the steps.

Robin Baby’s free plan includes:

• Tap logging and timers for nursing, bottles, pumping, sleep and diapers
• Your full timeline, including every imported entry, with no history limit
• Reminders and basic insights
• The Solids + Allergen Tracker and WHO growth charts
• Sharing with up to three caregivers
• Importing from Nara Baby and other trackers, and CSV export

3. Go back to paper or a spreadsheet

Some families switch to a notebook or a shared spreadsheet. It’s free and simple, but you lose timers, reminders, and the ability to see at a glance when the last feed was.

Which side was last? Keeping that habit

If you’re nursing, the features that matter most are often the small ones: a per-side nursing timer, remembering the last side, and tracking pumping.

Robin Baby’s free plan has a nursing timer for each side, with switching, pause and resume, and your timeline shows the minutes on each side.

You can also log a feed afterwards as minutes per side, see your left vs right balance over time, and record pumping sessions with ounces from each breast, with an optional pump timer you can pause.
