Pros and cons
bonoch
Pros
- The plan month charge is $0, so no recurring fee sits behind the $129.99 price
- No wifi is required and no account is needed, which puts it with brands like smart that rely on a connection
- A range of 487.68 m ranks 2 of 16 on reach
Cons
- Support runs on email only, so live help is limited
- Breathing monitoring is none, so nothing tracks breathing or motion
- Clips and video are not kept on local storage, so playback is not stored on the device
Chillax
Pros
- The ChillaxCare app plan costs €0 a month and no account is required, so there is nothing to renew or sign up for.
- It works without wifi and still covers 365.76 m, with a parent unit supplied so the camera feeds its own screen.
- Sleep analytics and local storage come as standard rather than as a paid add on, with the plan at €0 a month.
Cons
- Video resolution is 720p, the softer end of the picture quality on offer here, so shoppers buying on image quality should look wider before choosing.
- It sells in US and CA, so parents outside those markets should check shipping and warranty cover with Hubble Connected or Arenti instead.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with a phone line not among the listed options, so a parent wanting voice support is pushed to chat or email.

Questions about each
bonoch
How much does the Bonoch Baby Monitor Pro cost?+
The monitor is $129.99 as a one-off purchase. The plan month charge is $0, so nothing recurring is added to that entry price. There is no subscription tier to choose between, which keeps the total cost simple to work out.
Does the Bonoch monitor need wifi or an account?+
No wifi is required, and no account is needed either. It runs on its own parent unit, unlike smart or smart monitors that expect a connection and an app. That makes it useful in rooms with weak signal.
Chillax
How much does a Chillax baby monitor cost to start with?+
Entry hardware is listed at €64.99. That is the figure to weigh against Arenti at $100 and Hubble Connected at £24.99. The outlay sits with the purchase rather than recurring each month, so the equipment price is the number that decides the comparison.
Is there a monthly subscription for the Chillax app?+
The ChillaxCare app plan costs €0 a month, and no account is required to use the monitor. There is no recurring charge to plan around, which makes Chillax easy to budget against brands that bill monthly for app features. Sleep analytics and local storage sit inside that plan cost.
