Our verdict on each
Arenti

Pros and cons
Arenti
Pros
- Wifi is not required, so the camera keeps working in rooms where the router signal is weak
- A parent unit is included, so you get a screen in the nursery and not only an app
- Local storage and video encryption are both part of the setup, so recordings can sit on the unit
Cons
- An account is required, so setup adds a signup before the app view is usable
- Breathing monitoring is none, so parents after movement or breathing alerts need a monitor that tracks it
- The Arenti camera and screen set costs $100 at purchase, above iBaby's $65.95 in the same currency
iBaby
Pros
- The monthly plan cost is $0, so the plan adds no recurring charge on top of the hardware.
- Sleep analytics and local storage are both included, which is rare among the brands priced alongside it.
- Video encryption is on the unit, and the camera runs at 1080p.
Cons
- The parent unit answer is no, so viewing depends on your own screen rather than a bundled handset.
- Wifi is required, so the room needs a home network that reaches the camera.
- An account is required before the monitor can be used, adding a step before first use.
Who each suits
Arenti
Who it suits
- Parents who want a screen in the nursery and phone access away from it, since a parent unit is included
- Families with patchy wifi, because the Arenti monitor does not require wifi to work
- Parents who would rather not pay monthly, since the cloud storage plan costs $0
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers on a smaller budget: Hubble Connected lists £24.99 and Chillax Technology lists €34.99, so either asks less at purchase
- Parents who want breathing alerts: Arenti's breathing monitoring is none, so a monitor that tracks breathing suits them better
- Shoppers ordering from outside US, CA and PR, where the shipping policy does not stretch
iBaby
Who it suits
- Parents who want sleep reports and local clips without paying monthly
- Homes that already run wifi and are happy to view on a phone or tablet
- Buyers who want 1080p video and encrypted streaming in one unit
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a standalone handset, since the parent unit answer is no
- Households that need the camera to work outside a wifi network, since wifi is required
- Buyers on the tightest budget, since €34.99 and £24.99 sit below $65.95

Questions about each
Arenti
How much does the Arenti baby monitor cost to buy?+
The Arenti camera and screen set costs $100 at the entry point, and that covers the hardware itself. Nothing else is due at checkout for the monitor. For comparison, iBaby lists $65.95 for its starting model in the same currency, so Arenti sits higher at purchase.
Is there a monthly subscription or renewal with Arenti?+
There is no recurring charge to plan around. The Arenti cloud storage plan costs $0 a month, which means the running cost is free rather than a subscription line on a statement. Local storage is also supported, so clips can be kept on the unit without any cloud plan.
iBaby
Is there a monthly subscription with iBaby?+
The plan month cost is $0, so there is no recurring fee on top of the hardware. The only entry cost is the device itself, which starts at $65.95. That is the main reason iBaby scores well on cost, with the cost part of the overall score at 9.5.
Does iBaby come with a parent unit to watch the screen?+
The parent unit answer is no, so iBaby does not bundle a dedicated handset with the camera. Viewing runs through your own device over the home network, and because wifi is required you need a working connection where the monitor sits. Home screens and tablets do the job, but the box itself is not a screen.
