Cudly vs everyone else — no marketing tricks.
We won't tell you Cudly is best at everything. Hardware dopplers find heartbeats earlier. iOS-only apps have a head start. Here's the honest matrix — pick the right tool for what you actually need.
HeraBEAT
HeraBEAT is a $200 medical device with a companion app. Cudly is a free pregnancy journal that also records sounds — no device needed.
Hear My Baby Heartbeat App
Hear My Baby is an iOS-only heartbeat recorder. Cudly is a heartbeat recorder + full pregnancy journal + week-by-week tracker, on both iOS and Android.
Baby Doppler (Sonoline B)
Baby Doppler sells a $50-70 ultrasound device. Cudly is a free app — less reliable sound capture, but with a full pregnancy journal and zero diagnostic-anxiety risk.
