Nara Baby now lists paid plans: $9.99 a month or $99.99 lifetime in the US after a 7-day trial, and an unpaid Nara family goes read-only. Vaava is a local-first baby tracker where everyday logging stays free and Vaava Plus is a single purchase instead of a monthly bill. Track sleep, feeding, diapers, growth, and routines, use two phones as a local baby monitor, and import your Nara CSV so your history comes along.

Nara's official FAQ now lists two plans, $9.99 a month or $99.99 for lifetime access in the US, after a 7-day free trial that starts with your first log. Without a plan, everyone in that Nara family can still view and export existing data, but nobody can add new tracking.
Vaava does not work that way. Everyday logging, the calendar, trends, milestones, Photo Book, CSV export, local Wi-Fi partner sharing, and the local baby monitor are free, and Vaava Plus is a single EUR 14.99 unlock instead of a monthly bill. Import your Nara export and the naps, bottles, and diaper changes you already logged come with you.
Yes. Nara's FAQ says you can still view and export the information already in your account without subscribing, but you cannot add new tracking.
Sleep, diapers, bottles, breastfeeding, solids, and pumping. Growth, medication, temperature, and routine rows show up as skipped rows in the preview instead of being imported.
No. Everyday logging, the calendar, trends, milestones, Photo Book, CSV export, local Wi-Fi partner sharing, and the local baby monitor are free, and Vaava Plus is a one-time EUR 14.99 purchase. Nothing expires, because there is no trial clock to run out.
No. There is no account or cloud login for everyday use. Pair family devices over local Wi-Fi for free, and if you want sharing across the internet, Vaava Plus Family Data Sharing uses a family invite and a recovery key you keep, rather than an email and password.
