The Gaia difference
Why Gaia wins this comparison.
The essentials stay together and included. The app is built around the family record, not an upgrade path.
Gaia is a native iPhone app with dedicated live activities, notifications and a deliberately tactile interface.
All-history trends, WHO growth charts and the recent-rhythm nap window are included without a Pro plan.
Each caregiver has a separate account and every timeline entry carries their identity.

The choice in plain English.
Choose Gaia for a free, calm iPhone log with separate caregiver accounts, attributed entries, recent patterns and growth kept close to the record.
The main reason to keep considering BabyLog is if Australian or cross-platform families wanting a browser app, offline-first logging and pediatrician-ready reports is non-negotiable. For the everyday family log, Gaia keeps the important parts simpler and included.
