# Baby Names™ vs MilkMode

The clearest difference is ads: MilkMode at none against Baby Names™'s shown. MilkMode also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Baby Names™'s advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 8) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Baby Names™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MilkMode sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MilkMode holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Baby Names™ has 6.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Baby Names™'s written reviews are positive against 100% of MilkMode's.

Baby Names™ ships an update every 3 weeks, MilkMode fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
