Questions
Is Clary a good alternative to Flo?
If you want one app that keeps going through pregnancy and after birth, yes. Clary has a baby log for feeds, diapers, sleep and growth, a kick counter, a contraction timer, a birth plan, appointment reminders and a meal plan, none of which Flo's store listing or help center describes. Flo has the larger community, a symptom checker and a bigger expert content library.
Is Clary free?
Yes. Clary is free to download and every mode is free to track, including pregnancy and postpartum. Clary Premium ($6.99 a month or $34.99 a year in the US) adds extras such as Clary AI, Partner Access and the Apple Watch app. Flo's in-depth pregnancy features and its perimenopause tools need Flo Premium.
Does Clary keep my data on its servers?
No. Clary keeps your logs on your phone unless you turn on Clary AI, Communities or Partner Access, and tracking needs no account. Flo stores data on its servers (Amazon Web Services) and creates an account when you set it up; its Anonymous Mode removes your email and other identifiers from it.
Can I move my data from Flo to Clary?
Not yet: Clary doesn't import from other apps. Add your last period or your due date and Clary starts from there, while Flo keeps your history.
