Our verdict on each
Lolalykke
Lolalykke suits parents who want a wearable pump they can wear rather than hold, and who are buying outright rather than on a plan. It holds a score of 9, with entry pricing of €6.80, a closed system and a spare parts shop for replacements, and email, chat and help centre for support.
Spectra
Spectra suits parents who want a straightforward electric pump that runs long between charges and comes with real phone and email support. It scores 8.9 overall, and battery life of 180 minutes is the clearest single reason to pick it over a wearable rival.

Pros and cons
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.
Spectra
Pros
- Battery life of 180 minutes sits well above the 100 minute median across the site.
- A closed system design keeps milk away from the tubing, which is the first thing most parents ask about.
- US insurance eligibility, a route that covers 83.3% of the brands compared on this site.
Cons
- No mobile app, so pumping sessions are not logged in software or synced to a phone.
- No subscription, so there is no monthly refill plan and every order is a fresh checkout.
- Ships to US only, so the pumps are not listed for other markets.
Who each suits
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.
Spectra
Who it suits
- Parents pumping at home or at a desk who want 180 minutes of battery between charges.
- US families using insurance to cover a pump rather than paying the full ticket themselves.
- People who would rather call or email than use an app, with support through email, phone and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Willow, whose wearable pump is the easier pick for pumping on the move.
- Lansinoh, whose range also covers breast pump and bottle for parents buying feeding gear and pumps together.
- Evenflo Company, whose range covers breast pump and bottle for a full feeding set from one brand.

Questions about each
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.
Spectra
How much does a Spectra pump cost?+
The entry price is $30.49, listed against the Spectra Handy Plus manual pump. Electric models sit above that figure, and Spectra ranks at 32 of 50 brands compared on price, so compare a few ranges before you settle.
Is there a monthly subscription or renewal fee?+
No. There is no subscription, so nothing renews automatically and no refill plan is billed each month. You pay once for the pump, starting at $30.49, then buy any parts or bottles separately through the spare parts shop.
