Kidfile, for parents, is the one place for everything about their kid. Share it with anyone who helps, in one tap. If you've ever re-texted your child's allergy info to a babysitter, searched your camera roll for the insurance card photo, or answered "what size shoe does she wear?" for the third time this month. Kidfile was built for parents just like you. HOW IT WORKS: Parents add their child. Fill in what matters; allergies, medications, emergency contacts, daily routine, clothing sizes, pediatrician info, insurance details, as much or as little as you need. Feeding types are inclusive of any age. When someone needs the info, you send one link. That's it. The person opens the link and sees allergies, meds, and the bedtime routine (or whatever you want them to see). Your mom opens it and has the right shoe size for birthday shopping. Your co-parent has the insurance info without asking. You fill it out once. Everyone who helps has what they need. WHO IT'S FOR: - Parents who carry every piece of kid info in their head and are tired of repeating it - Grandparents who want to help without constantly texting "what time is bedtime again?" - Babysitters, nannies, and caregivers, who need the essentials before every new family - Co-parents who need a shared, always-current source of truth - Anyone in your child's life who you choose to have the right info at the right time SHARING THAT YOU CONTROL: Share links can be one-time, expiring, or ongoing. You can add a password. You can revoke access instantly. And every time someone opens your child's care card, it's logged — who, when, and from where. Your child's name and health info never appear in a link. Everything uses random codes that can't be guessed. PRIVACY AND SECURITY: We don't sell your data. We don't show ads. We don't collect any information from children. You can export everything or delete your account at any time. Free and paid accounts get the same level of security. No exceptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kidfile at 5.0 against LFPL's 3.6. Kidfile also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 14 months). LFPL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Kidfile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LFPL has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
LFPL ships an update every 14 months, Kidfile every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
