Momi is a dedicated pregnancy tracker with a kick counter, contraction timer, diary, bump photos and appointments built in. BabyCenter, What to Expect and The Bump offer more articles.

Momi vs Flo
Flo started as a period and ovulation tracker. Once you're pregnant, you switch to Pregnancy Mode for weekly baby development updates, checklists and expert guidance. Its listing says in-depth pregnancy features are part of Flo Premium, and the US App Store lists several Premium subscription options. Flo for Partners lets a partner follow along.
Where Flo wins: continuity if you already track your cycle with it, partner invites, and a large library of expert-led content. Its Google Play listing doesn't show "Contains ads".
Where Momi wins: it's built only for pregnancy and includes tools Flo's listing doesn't mention: a kick counter (one tap per kick, every session saved), a contraction timer with a clear log of length and time apart, appointments with medicine reminders, a weekly bump photo journal and a Mom's and Dad's diary. Momi's core features are free, with ads.
Worth knowing: both apps' App Store privacy labels include data used to track you.
Momi vs BabyCenter
BabyCenter combines week-by-week tracking with a kick counter, a contraction timer, a pregnancy calendar for appointments and symptoms, a hospital bag checklist, a birth plan template and free childbirth classes. Its listing says content is reviewed by the BabyCenter Medical Advisory Board, and it runs a loyalty program with brand discounts.
Where BabyCenter wins: far more articles, a large community, and birth-planning extras.
Where Momi wins: a simpler, more personal space. Momi focuses on your own records, with a diary for both parents, bump photos, ultrasound pictures and a timeline that Premium turns into a PDF journey book.
Momi vs What to Expect
The What to Expect app offers daily tracking with 3D development videos, logs for symptoms, weight, kick counts and medications, a due date calculator, a "My Journal" tool and a community. Its listing says medical information comes from sources such as ACOG and the AAP. In Consumer Reports' 2026 evaluation, it scored highest overall of four apps and was praised for handling pregnancy loss with care, while its privacy and security were rated only fair.
Where What to Expect wins: depth of content, community, and independent recognition.
Where Momi wins: a dedicated contraction timer, bump photo journal, and appointment and medicine reminders, in a smaller app focused on your own pregnancy record.
Momi vs The Bump
The Bump features a 3D interactive view of your baby's growth, a journal, due date calculator, kick counter, weight gain tracker and contraction counter. Its prenatal visits feature suggests questions for your doctor and adds appointments to your phone calendar. It also includes a registry.
Where The Bump wins: 3D visuals, doctor-visit prompts and registry tools.
Where Momi wins: a weekly bump photo journal, a diary for both parents, medicine reminders, and a Premium timeline you can export as a PDF book.
Where Momi falls short
To be clear about Momi's limits:
- It's a newer app from a small studio, launched in 2026, so it has a much smaller content library than these established apps.
- There's no community forum and no 3D baby models.
- A partner can write in the Dad's diary on the same phone, but there's no way to follow along from a second device yet.
- The free version shows ads, and the App Store privacy label includes data used to track you for third-party advertising. Premium removes ads.
- The store listing is in English only.
How to decide
- List the tools you'll use daily. If kick counts and contraction timing matter to you, pick an app that has both.
- Check the privacy label of any app before entering health data.
- Try two for a week. Keep the one you actually open.
You don't need an app for the basics. Our free due date calculator, kick counter and contraction timer work in any browser.

Flo is better if you already track your cycle with it and want to switch to Pregnancy Mode, or if you want Flo for Partners. Momi is better if you want built-in pregnancy tools such as a kick counter, contraction timer, appointment reminders and a bump photo journal, which Flo's store listing doesn't mention.
Is the Flo pregnancy app free?
Flo is free to download, but its listing says in-depth pregnancy features are part of Flo Premium, a paid subscription. Momi is free with ads, and its optional Premium adds a timeline with a PDF journey book and removes ads.
Does What to Expect have a due date calculator?
Yes. The What to Expect app lists a due date calculator, along with week-by-week tracking, 3D development videos, a journal and a community. Momi also estimates your due date, from your last period or a conception date.
Are BabyCenter and What to Expect the same company?
Both apps are published by Everyday Health, Inc. on the App Store. Consumer Reports noted in 2026 that they share a parent company and that both privacy policies mention collecting data from their community forums.
Which of these apps has a kick counter and contraction timer?
Based on their store listings, BabyCenter, The Bump and Momi include both. What to Expect lists kick count logging. Flo's listing doesn't mention either.
