# Nanit vs Babba

Nanit and Babba both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Babba's written reviews are positive against 66% of Nanit's. Nanit's advantage is ratings volume (38K vs 13) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nanit sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $119.99 per year and Babba sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Nanit against 4.7 for Babba. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nanit has 38K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Nanit's written reviews are positive against 92% of Babba's.

Nanit ships an update weekly, Babba every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
