Nara Baby Alternatives (2026): Free Trackers That Keep Your History

Nara Baby is no longer free: after a 7-day trial it costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 for life, and without a plan you can’t add new entries. If you’re looking for a free Nara Baby alternative, the real question is what happens to the months you’ve already logged. Robin Baby reads your Nara export directly, so your history comes with you instead of staying behind in a read-only app.

We’re the parents who make Robin Baby. Below is an honest comparison of the free alternatives, followed by a step-by-step guide to moving your Nara history.

Is Nara Baby still free?

No. According to Nara Baby’s FAQ:

• New families get a 7-day free trial with full access. The trial starts when you log your first entry.
• After that, Nara costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 one-time for a lifetime plan. Both plans include the same features.
• If you don’t subscribe, you can still view and export your existing records, but you can’t add new tracking.

Nothing is deleted, so there’s no rush to export today. But if you want to keep logging for free, you’ll need a different app, and ideally one that can take your existing records.

Free Nara Baby alternatives compared

Every app below lets you keep logging the basics for free. They differ in what they charge for and whether your Nara history can come with you.

Plans checked on October 2, 2026 from each app’s own pages and store listings. Prices and features change, so check the current listing before you decide.

Which one fits your family

• You want to keep the history you already logged: Robin Baby. It’s the reason we built the import flow: switching shouldn’t mean losing your baby’s first months.
• You and a partner both log: Robin Baby’s free plan includes up to three caregivers on one timeline. On Baby Daybook, family sync is a Premium feature.
• Sleep predictions are your top priority: Huckleberry’s SweetSpot is well known, but it’s paid. Robin Baby’s sleep predictions are also Premium.
• You never want to see a paywall: Sofi Baby says it has no paid tier.
• You’re comfortable running your own server: Baby Buddy is free and open source.

Why parents switch from Nara Baby to Robin Baby

Your history comes with you

Many trackers can’t read another app’s export, so switching means starting from an empty timeline. Robin Baby reads Nara Baby’s export format, including feeds, pumping, sleep, diapers, solids, growth, medicine and milestones.

Before anything reaches your timeline, the import preview shows the activities Robin recognized and how many events are ready. You confirm, or you don’t. You can also undo an import later from Settings → Import History.

Everyday tracking stays free

Robin Baby’s free plan includes:

• Unlimited manual logging for feeds, sleep, diapers and more.
• Import from other trackers, including Nara Baby, Huckleberry and Baby Tracker.
• CSV export, so your records are never locked in again.
• Sharing with up to three caregivers on one timeline, with each entry showing who logged it.
• Seven-day insights and reminders.

New accounts get seven days of Premium without a credit card. When the trial ends, the free plan stays. Compare the free and Premium plans.

Faster logging and real answers, if you want them

Robin Baby Premium adds voice logging (“4 ounce bottle at 3”), scanning daycare notes into events, and Robin, an assistant that answers questions from your baby’s own records, like “How much did she sleep yesterday?” It also adds personalized sleep predictions, doctor summaries, widgets and Live Activities.

How to move your history from Nara Baby to Robin Baby

The whole move takes a few minutes: export from Nara, review in Robin, confirm.

1. Export your data from Nara Baby

In Nara Baby, open the Activity screen, tap the avatar next to your child’s name, and choose Export Data. Save the file somewhere you can find it from your phone. Nara documents this in its FAQ.

If you’re sending the file to yourself or your partner, the CSV works, and so does the Excel (.xlsx) version some messaging apps turn it into.

2. Install Robin Baby and choose the file

Download Robin Baby for iPhone or Android, set up your child, and open the import flow. Select your Nara export. Robin reads the file and matches its columns to activities, so you don’t retype anything.

3. Review the preview

Check the activity types, the date range and the number of events before you confirm. If something looks off, contact Robin Baby support before importing.

4. Confirm and spot-check

Confirm the import, then compare a few old and recent entries with your Nara records, including dates, times and amounts. Keep the Nara export as a backup until you’re happy. Don’t import the same file twice; if you need to retry, undo the first import from Settings → Import History.

5. Invite your caregivers

Go to Profile → Family → Invite caregiver to bring your partner, a grandparent or a nanny onto the shared timeline. Pick a day to switch everyone’s logging to Robin so new entries stay in one place.
