Huckleberry vs Milkstop: what's free, what costs money

Huckleberry is free to download, with paid Plus and Premium plans for its sleep guidance features. Milkstop is a free baby tracker for iPhone and the web for logging feeds, sleep and nappies with your partner, with no subscriptions. If you mainly want a shared log, Milkstop covers it. If you want sleep plans, Huckleberry's paid tiers are built for that.

We make Milkstop, so weigh our view accordingly.

How much does Huckleberry cost? (checked 20 Oct 2026)

Huckleberry is free to download from the App Store, with in-app purchases. These are the in-app purchase prices its US and AU App Store listings showed on 20 October 2026.

The App Store list doesn't say which prices are monthly and which are yearly, so we haven't labelled them. Prices change and can differ by country, so check the App Store listing for the current price where you are.

Is Huckleberry free?

Yes, Huckleberry is free to download. Its App Store listing lists free features including sleep, feeding, nappy and growth tracking, multiple children and sync with multiple caregivers, with SweetSpot® and other extras in its paid Plus and Premium plans.

What you get free in each app

Huckleberry cells come from its US App Store listing description (read 20 Oct 2026). Where the listing doesn't say whether a feature is free or paid, we've written "not stated".

Milkstop is independent and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Huckleberry. Huckleberry is a trademark of its owner. Details about Huckleberry come from its public website and app listing as checked on 20 October 2026, and may have changed since.

Who each app suits

Both apps log the basics. They're just built around different jobs.

Huckleberry may suit you if you want guidance on when your baby might nap, a structured sleep plan, or an in-app guide to ask questions. Those are the parts its paid plans are built around, and whether they're worth it depends on what you're after and your budget. Its free version includes tracking and caregiver sync, so you can try it before deciding.

Milkstop may suit you if you mainly want one shared record of feeds, sleep, nappies and growth that you and your partner, grandparents or carers all log into. Each person has their own sign-in, every entry shows who logged it, and it works offline. Milkstop is free to use, with no subscriptions and no feature paywalls.

Milkstop doesn't do sleep schedules, nap-time suggestions or advice. It's a personal log, not medical advice. If you have questions about your baby's sleep or feeding, talk to your midwife, child health nurse or GP.

Some families use a log for the day-to-day record and get sleep guidance elsewhere. There's no wrong answer here.

Switching from Huckleberry

Thinking of trying Milkstop? A few things to know:

• Milkstop can't import data from other apps. You'd start a fresh log in Milkstop.
• Keep a copy of your Huckleberry history. If you want a record of what you logged there, check Huckleberry's help article on exporting your data.
• Set up your household. Add your baby, then share your invite code so your partner can join. Our guide on how to share a baby log with your partner walks through it.
• Overlap for a day or two if you like. Keeping both going briefly can help while you get used to the new layout.
