An honest comparison
Paige vs Napper
Napper is a sleep app first and a tracker second, made by a Swedish team (it started with a dad on parental leave, which we respect). If your one problem is nap timing, it’s built for exactly that. Paige is built for a different problem: keeping the whole picture straight between two tired people.
What Napper does well
- Nap timing is the speciality. Age-based schedules adapt daily to your baby’s actual sleep, and it nudges you about half an hour before a predicted nap.
- A library of 30+ sleep sounds and a structured, science-based sleep course.
- Native iPhone and Android apps, with Apple Watch support.
- Noticeably cheaper than Huckleberry for a similar prediction-led approach.
