Lolalykke

Pros and cons
Freemie
Pros
- Its pump type is wearable, so pumping happens inside a bra rather than at a seated machine
- Closed system, which every brand in the breast pump ranking also shares
- Eligible for US insurance, so a covered family may pay little or nothing for the pump
Cons
- No mobile app, so there is no app tracking of pumping sessions
- Product types cover breast pump only, unlike Lansinoh and Evenflo Company, which also list bottles
- The Independence II Standard system at $119.99 sits at 46 of 50 on price from, well above Willow at $15.99
Lolalykke
Pros
- Entry pricing of €6.80 compares closely with Lansinoh at $7.47, making the pair a close call for a new buyer.
- Closed system on the electric pump, the same design 100% of the brands compared share.
- Maximum suction of 339 mmHg sits above the 295 mmHg median recorded across the category.
Cons
- No mobile app, which puts the pump outside the 71.4% of compared brands that do ship one.
- Minimum battery of 5.5-minute places the brand at 9 of 10 on the battery comparison, so pumping away from a charger stays brief.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, while 57.2% of compared brands add a phone line.
Who each suits
Freemie
Who it suits
- Parents pumping at work, in meetings or while travelling who need a bra-worn pump and no bottle to carry
- US families whose insurance covers a breast pump, making the $119.99 entry price for the Independence II Standard system less of a barrier
- Mothers who need a closed system and a broad insert range for a close fit at a smaller nipple size
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents who want pumping data in an app, since there is no mobile app
- Shoppers who want bottles from the same brand, as Lansinoh and Evenflo Company list both pumps and bottles
- Buyers on a tight budget, who may find Willow at $15.99 hard to pass up
Lolalykke
Who it suits
- Parents who pump while working or moving, since the wearable pump is worn rather than held.
- Shoppers who want a closed system and replacement parts from the same brand, with a spare parts shop in place.
- Buyers in the FI, SE and GB markets, where the breast pump and bottle in breast pump and bottle are both listed.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents who want app control. There is no mobile app here, while 71.4% of the brands compared offer one, so Lansinoh or Willow may suit better.
- Parents planning long sessions away from a charger. 5.5 minutes of battery ranks 9 of 10, so another name may serve longer unplugged.
- US buyers counting on insurance reimbursement, since US insurance eligibility is not offered. Buyers in that position should check coverage per brand before settling.

Questions about each
Freemie
How much does a Freemie pump cost?+
The Independence II Standard breast pump system starts at $119.99. That entry price places Freemie at position 46 of 50 on price from, well above the middle of the pack. Because the pump is eligible for US insurance, a covered family can often pay far less than the shelf price.
Is this a wearable pump?+
Yes, the pump type is wearable, meaning the unit is worn inside a bra rather than clipped to a seated pump. Freemie sells a breast pump as its only product type. Wearable pumps account for 100% of that ranking, so the format is well established.
Lolalykke
How much does a Lolalykke pump cost at entry?+
Prices start at €6.80 on the current range, and that is the figure the comparison ranks, placing the brand at 5 of 50 on entry price. Lansinoh lists $7.47, so the two sit close together on the published numbers.
Is there a subscription or renewal charge to plan for?+
Subscription is not offered, so nothing recurs after the purchase and no renewal charge follows. The range listed is breast pumps and bottles per breast pump and bottle, with no ongoing plan attached to either. Buyers who would rather pay a flat cost than manage a repeat order will find that arrangement suits them.
