Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CDC's Milestone Tracker at Free against Baby Teeth's $1.99. CDC's Milestone Tracker also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (10K vs 6). Baby Teeth's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
