Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Nanit Sound and Light holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nanit Sound and Light has 974 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Nanit Sound and Light's written reviews are positive against 50% of CloudRest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
