EggBasket is the egg counter that never asks for a login. Tap tonight's eggs into the nest before you lock up the coop — ten seconds, done. And always know what your backyard eggs really cost. No account. No ads. No subscription. No company server that can lose your records: everything lives on your phone and syncs privately through your own iCloud. THE 10-SECOND EVENING HABIT • Tap eggs in with one big button — one card per flock, today's count front and center • A week strip under the counter shows the last 7 days at a glance • An optional evening nudge asks "How many eggs tonight?" — one quiet notification, nothing else KNOW YOUR COST PER EGG • Log feed, bedding and supplies in seconds • EggBasket divides what you've spent by every egg collected — your honest cost per egg • Watch it fall as the girls hit their stride SHARE THE HAUL • A beautiful share card with your flock's name, this week's eggs and your cost per egg — ready for your story, the family group chat, or the neighbors who keep asking YOUR FLOCK, YOUR DATA • Hen roster with names and breeds; per-hen weekly averages • Stats and charts: 14-day lay chart, streaks, weekly trends • CSV export is free, forever — your records are portable on day one • Backup to a file you keep; restore merges safely, never duplicates FREE VS LIFETIME Free: one flock of up to 6 hens with EVERY feature — logging, stats, share cards, reminder, iCloud sync, backup, CSV export. Lifetime ($9.99 once): unlimited flocks and hens, Insights (weekly trends, best laying days), and photo notes on every hen. That's the whole price list — no subscription, ever. Built by one person who was tired of apps that put a login between you and your own chickens. Support: shakti.thakran@outlook.com

HenPass keeps your whole flock organized. Every hen and rooster gets their own profile and health passport – like the paper folder many keepers already keep, but always in your pocket. ONE PROFILE PER HEN Photo, name, breed, hatch date, hen or rooster, when they joined you, where they came from (for example a rescue), leg-ring color and personality. HEALTH LOG Record symptoms, diagnoses, vet visits, weight, vaccinations and medication in seconds – for one hen or the whole flock at once. MEDICATION & EGG WITHDRAWAL Enter the withdrawal period and HenPass shows "eggs paused until …" for that hen and across your flock. VET PRINTOUT Create a clear PDF for one hen or the whole flock and share or print it for your vet. RAINBOW BRIDGE When a chicken passes, keep their story as a gentle memory instead of deleting it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no cloud. Your flock data stays on your phone. Save a backup file whenever you like. A small ad keeps HenPass free – personalized only with your consent. English and German. HenPass helps you keep records. It does not replace your vet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HenPass at none against EggBasket's 1. HenPass also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). EggBasket's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
