# BabyLatchON vs Tide

BabyLatchON and Tide both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of BabyLatchON's written reviews are positive against 47% of Tide's. BabyLatchON also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Tide's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (216 vs 1).

Both are free to download. BabyLatchON sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Tide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
