Dobbin vs Glow Baby
A Glow Baby alternative where your partner is included.
Glow Baby is free to use on your own, but adding a second caregiver needs its Premium Family Plan, about $90 a year. Dobbin has a 14‑day free trial, then $19.99 once for the whole household, with every caregiver included, no ads and no tracking.

Which one fits your family?
Glow Baby does some things Dobbin doesn't. Here's when each one is the better pick.
Glow Baby is the better pick if…
- You already use Glow's ovulation or pregnancy apps and want one Premium for all of them.
- You'd like AI forecasts for the next feed and nap, and comparisons with other Glow babies.
- Only one of you logs, and you're happy with the free version and its ads.
- Someone in your household uses Android.
Dobbin is the better pick if…
- Your partner, a grandparent or a nanny should log too, without a Family Plan.
- You'd rather not see ads, or have your data used to track you across other companies' apps.
- You want your partner's naps and breastfeeds on your Lock Screen instantly, and a Watch app that works with your phone in another room.
