# The Birth Deck vs Tummy Safe

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tummy Safe at none against The Birth Deck's 6. Tummy Safe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 12 months). The Birth Deck's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Birth Deck sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Tummy Safe asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for The Birth Deck against 5.0 for Tummy Safe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Birth Deck has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Birth Deck ships an update every 12 months, Tummy Safe every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
