# Willow® vs Veba Baby

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Veba Baby at 100% against Willow®'s 13%. Veba Baby also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Willow®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 5). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Veba Baby sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $99.99 per year. Willow® asks for nothing beyond the download.

Willow® holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Willow® has 2.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Willow®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Veba Baby's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Willow® ships an update monthly, Veba Baby every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
