PregnancyBest Pregnancy Tracker Apps in 2026
Comparing pregnancy tracker apps for week-by-week monitoring — what each app tracks, the content quality, and whether the premium features are worth it.
Most pregnancy tracker apps do the same basics. They tell you how big your baby is this week (usually with a fruit comparison). They list common symptoms. And they count down to your due date. But the real differences show up in the details. Content quality varies enormously. Some apps are basically medically-reviewed textbooks. Others are listicles with ads.
What you actually need from a pregnancy tracker depends on whether you want education, community, labor preparation, or just a simple timeline. Some women want to read everything. Some people just want to check baby’s size on Monday, then forget the app until next week. Honestly, both approaches are totally valid.
I've used or tested every app on this list. ZenPregnancy is ours — it takes a different approach by combining basic tracking with hypnobirthing and meditation. The other apps lean more into tracking features and content. Here's how they each stack up.
Quick summary: ZenPregnancy is best for combining tracking with hypnobirthing and meditation. Flo has the most comprehensive tracking and the largest content library. What to Expect has the most trusted editorial content. The Bump has the best visual design. Ovia offers the strongest data-driven insights. BabyCenter has the largest community forums.
Pregnancy tracker app reviews
ZenPregnancy approaches pregnancy tracking differently from the big-name trackers. Instead of competing on content volume, it combines a pregnancy tracker with a full hypnobirthing and meditation library. The idea is that tracking your pregnancy and preparing for birth should happen in the same place.
The tracking side includes a due date calculator, kick counter, and contraction timer. The meditation side includes 50+ guided sessions matched to your trimester, breathing exercises, birth affirmations, and fear release tracks. It's ORCHA certified for health app quality and collects no personal data.
Where ZenPregnancy falls short compared to Flo or What to Expect is content breadth. It doesn't have a massive article library or week-by-week editorial updates. If you want detailed weekly content about what's happening with your baby, you'll find more depth in a dedicated tracker. ZenPregnancy's tracking is functional, not encyclopedic. Its strength is what the other trackers don't offer: daily meditation and labor preparation.
What's good
- Tracking + hypnobirthing + meditation in one app
- 50+ guided meditation sessions
- Contraction timer, kick counter, due date calc
- ORCHA certified, no data collection
- Works offline during labor
What's not
- Week-by-week content is basic vs. dedicated trackers
- No community or forum features
- Smaller content library than Flo or BabyCenter
Flo is the benchmark for pregnancy tracking apps. With over 420 million downloads and a content library reviewed by 100+ medical professionals, it sets the standard for what a pregnancy tracker should include. Week-by-week updates are detailed and medically accurate. Symptom tracking is comprehensive. The AI-powered insights adapt to your logged data over time.
Pregnancy mode gives you daily content and baby development updates. It includes weight and nutrition tracking. It has appointment reminders. It also has a health library that covers practically every pregnancy question you could have. Flo also covers trying to conceive through postpartum, so you can use one app from before conception through recovery.
The downsides are privacy trade-offs and the premium wall. Flo collects usage data (Anonymous Mode is available). Many of the best features require Flo Premium, which adds up over 9 months. And despite doing almost everything, Flo doesn't include hypnobirthing, meditation audio, or a contraction timer — so you may still need supplementary apps for labor preparation.
What's good
- Most comprehensive pregnancy tracking available
- Massive medically-reviewed content library
- AI-powered health insights
- Covers TTC through postpartum
- Anonymous Mode for privacy
What's not
- No hypnobirthing or meditation audio
- No contraction timer
- Premium required for many features
- Data collection concerns (opt-out available)
What to Expect is the app version of the bestselling pregnancy book that's been a go-to reference for decades. The editorial pedigree shows in the content quality. The articles are well-written. The articles are thoroughly researched. Medical professionals review the articles. If you want to understand what’s happening with your body and baby each week, this is one of the most trustworthy sources.
The app includes week-by-week updates. It has a due date calculator. It includes a baby name finder. It has a symptom tracker. It also has an active community forum. The content tone strikes a good balance between informative and reassuring without being patronizing. In my experience, the daily tips and articles are genuinely useful, not just filler.
What to Expect is free and ad-supported, so you’ll see ads while you use it. The app doesn't include labor preparation tools, meditation, or hypnobirthing content. It's a content and tracking app, not a labor companion.
What's good
- Trusted editorial brand with decades of credibility
- High-quality, medically-reviewed content
- Free to use
- Active community forums
- Well-designed week-by-week experience
What's not
- Ad-supported experience
- No meditation or hypnobirthing
- No contraction timer or labor tools
The Bump stands out for visual design. The 3D baby development images are the most detailed and visually appealing of any pregnancy tracker. If seeing realistic visualizations of your baby's growth each week motivates you to engage with the app, The Bump delivers that better than anyone else.
Content-wise, The Bump covers the standard pregnancy tracker territory: weekly updates, baby size comparisons, symptom information, and nursery planning tools. The registry integration is useful if you're building a baby registry. The overall experience feels modern and well-designed.
Like What to Expect, The Bump is ad-supported and doesn't include labor preparation tools. The content library is smaller than Flo's or What to Expect's. It's a solid choice if visual engagement and clean design matter to you, but it's not as deep as the top two trackers.
What's good
- Best 3D baby development visuals
- Clean, modern design
- Registry integration
- Free to use
What's not
- Content library is shallower than competitors
- Ad-supported
- No labor tools or meditation
Ovia takes a data-driven approach to pregnancy tracking. It logs more health metrics than most competitors — weight, blood pressure, mood, symptoms, medications, and nutrition — and provides insights based on your aggregate data. The food safety database is particularly useful, answering the constant "can I eat this?" questions of pregnancy.
Ovia is often available free through employer health benefits programs, which means you may already have access without paying. The health tracking is more granular than most apps, which appeals to women who want detailed records to share with their healthcare provider.
The trade-off is that Ovia's extensive tracking means more data sharing. Privacy practices have been scrutinized, and the employer-sponsored model means your health data may be part of aggregate reporting. The editorial content is decent but not as strong as What to Expect or Flo. No meditation or labor tools are included.
What's good
- Most detailed health metric tracking
- Excellent food safety database
- Often free through employer benefits
- Data-driven health insights
What's not
- Privacy concerns with employer-sponsored model
- Extensive data collection
- No meditation or labor preparation
- Content quality behind Flo and What to Expect
BabyCenter has been around longer than most pregnancy apps and it shows — in both good and less good ways. The community forums are massive, with birth month groups that create genuine connections between women at the same stage of pregnancy. If peer support and shared experiences matter to you, BabyCenter's community is unmatched.
The content library is big, and it covers pregnancy through early childhood. It includes week-by-week updates. The editorial content is solid, though the interface feels dated compared to newer competitors like Flo or The Bump.
BabyCenter is free and ad-supported. The ads can feel intrusive. The app feels feature-heavy in a way that can be overwhelming. No labor preparation tools, meditation, or hypnobirthing are included. It's best for women who value community and extensive content over polish and labor-day tools.
What's good
- Largest pregnancy community forums
- Birth month groups for peer connection
- Extensive content from pregnancy through childhood
- Free to use
What's not
- Dated interface design
- Intrusive advertising
- No labor tools or meditation
- Can feel overwhelming and cluttered
What matters in a pregnancy tracker
Content quality is the biggest differentiator. All pregnancy trackers tell you your baby is the size of an avocado at 16 weeks. What separates the good ones is the depth and accuracy of the medical content behind the fruit comparisons. Look for apps that cite medical sources.
Privacy deserves real consideration. Pregnancy data is sensitive. Apps like ZenPregnancy that collect no data at all are the simplest from a privacy standpoint. Flo offers Anonymous Mode. Ovia's employer-sponsored model raises legitimate questions about who sees your health data. Read privacy policies before logging intimate health details.
Think about whether you need tracking or preparation. Traditional pregnancy trackers like Flo and What to Expect excel at education and monitoring. They don't prepare you for labor. Apps like ZenPregnancy and GentleBirth focus on the preparation side — meditation, breathing, hypnobirthing. You may want both.
Community matters to some women and not others. If you want to connect with other women at the same stage of pregnancy, BabyCenter and What to Expect have the most active forums. If forums stress you out, skip them entirely.
Limitations & disclosure
ZenPregnancy is developed by Pregnancy App, the same company behind PregnancyApp.com. It approaches pregnancy tracking differently from traditional trackers — combining basic tracking with hypnobirthing and meditation. It's listed first because we know it best, but Flo and What to Expect offer deeper week-by-week tracking content.
Pregnancy tracker apps provide general educational content. They do not account for individual medical conditions, high-risk pregnancies, or complications. Baby size and development estimates are averages. Always rely on your healthcare provider's assessments over any app.
