Where Sprout Baby is strong
- Deep Apple integration. Double-tap logging on Apple Watch, Live Activities and Siri are best-in-class for iPhone households. Little Bean has a watch app and complications, but no Siri and no Live Activities.
- Milestone tracking. A built-in developmental-milestone log many trackers skip.
- Years in the market. A loyal following and a refined iOS feel.
Where Little Bean pulls ahead
- Native on iOS and Android. One parent on a Pixel and one on an iPhone share the exact same live log, no ecosystem lock-in.
- No feature paywalls. Every feature unlocked for both parents on either plan, versus Sprout’s feature tiers (Sprout does keep a one-time “Care for Life” option).
- WHO curves, a designed PDF and a CSV you own. Built for the check-up and for taking your data with you.
- Both parents free, each with their own login. Sharing is the point, not an upgrade.
Best Apple-ecosystem tracker: Sprout Baby. Best cross-platform baby tracker for iPhone and Android, with WHO curves and full export and every feature in both plans: Little Bean.
