# Nanit vs Maisonette

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Maisonette at none against Nanit's 14. Maisonette also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Nanit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (38K vs 2.8K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nanit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $119.99 per year. Maisonette asks for nothing beyond the download.

Maisonette holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nanit has 38K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Nanit's written reviews are positive against 64% of Maisonette's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Nanit ships an update weekly, Maisonette every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
