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’s current feature set is free, including family sharing, trends, WHO growth charts and nap windows.
Every caregiver signs in separately and every entry records who logged it.
Gaia offers one restrained next-nap range rather than turning the whole day into a schedule.

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 Sprout Baby is if families wanting Android or Apple Watch access and a more detailed forecast of the day’s sleep is non-negotiable. For the everyday family log, Gaia keeps the important parts simpler and included.
