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.
VAVA INTERNATIONAL

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.
VAVA INTERNATIONAL
Pros
- Monthly cost sits at $0, so the $189.99 entry price is the whole outlay with nothing to renew.
- Wifi is not required and an account is not required, so the monitor works straight out of the box.
- A parent unit is included, giving a dedicated screen rather than a phone for the feed.
Cons
- Video encryption is not part of the feature set, and most monitors in this ranking pair it with a secure signal.
- Sleep analytics are not included, so the feed is a live view rather than a report on rest.
- Local storage is not offered, so there is no on-device recording to review later.
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.
VAVA INTERNATIONAL
Who it suits
- Parents who would rather own the hardware outright than manage a recurring monitor fee.
- Households with a 300 m reach need and no interest in running an app.
- Buyers in US who want phone support during setup.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents who want sleep analytics or breathing alerts, since sleep analytics are not included and breathing monitoring is none.
- Buyers outside US, since shipping is listed for that market only.
- Anyone comparing smart monitors, since Chillax Technology, Arenti and Hubble Connected are all listed as smart monitors with app-led features.

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.
VAVA INTERNATIONAL
How much does the VAVA International baby monitor cost?+
The VAVA International monitor costs $189.99 as the entry price, and the monthly plan cost is $0. Because the plan month is free, the purchase price is the whole cost and there is no subscription to renew later.
Does the monitor need wifi or an account?+
Wifi is not required for this monitor, so it keeps working without a home network. An account is not required either, which means there is no sign-up step before the parent unit will show the feed.
