# LactApp vs Babykoala

The clearest difference is rating: LactApp at 4.4 against Babykoala's 2.3. LactApp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). Babykoala's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 64%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LactApp sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Babykoala sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LactApp holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LactApp has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of LactApp's written reviews are positive against 89% of Babykoala's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LactApp ships an update monthly, Babykoala weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
