Our verdict on each
Chillax
Chillax suits parents who want a smart baby monitor that works without wifi, comes with a parent unit and asks for neither an account nor a monthly payment. Hardware starts at €64.99 and the ChillaxCare app plan costs €0 a month, so nothing recurs at renewal.
iBaby
iBaby suits parents who want a monitor with sleep analytics and local storage but no parent unit, and its monthly plan runs at $0 while hardware starts at $65.95. Hubble Connected and Chillax Technology undercut the hardware price while Arenti sits above it, so iBaby is a mid-range buy with no monthly charge.

Pros and cons
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.
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
Chillax
Who it suits
- Parents on patchy home wifi, since a wifi connection is not required.
- Buyers who want sleep analytics and local storage without a monthly charge, with the app plan at €0 a month.
- Shoppers in US and CA looking for a smart monitor with a parent unit, from a company based in the United States.
Who should look elsewhere
- Picture quality buyers, who should weigh Arenti, since Chillax lists 720p.
- Shoppers outside US and CA, who will find wider availability with Hubble Connected or Arenti.
- Tight budgets, since Hubble Connected starts at £24.99 against €64.99 for Chillax.
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
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.
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.
