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 includes its recent-rhythm nap window without a paid tier. It presents a range from your baby’s own recent sleep rather than an exact promised minute.
Each caregiver has a separate account and each timeline entry says who logged it. Huckleberry’s own FAQ currently tells caregivers to use the same account across devices.
Gaia has no subscription, streaks or coaching upsell. It is built as a shared family log first.

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 Huckleberry is if families who want sleep plans, expert-led guidance or Android support is non-negotiable. For the everyday family log, Gaia keeps the important parts simpler and included.
Bring the history
Switch without starting over.
Gaia recognises Huckleberry CSV exports automatically. It previews the rows and date range on the phone before writing anything, and running the same import twice does not duplicate entries.
Importing never deletes the original app or changes its copy of your log. Check a few dates and totals, then keep logging in Gaia.
