Syncry vs What to Expect

Everyday Health Group (Ziff Davis)

What What to Expect does well

Forty years of brand trust and the biggest live community in the category.

Polished weekly videos and study-cited content.

Side by side

Built for

What to Expect

Mothers. Their own reviews say it: "This app isn't inclusive of fathers."

Syncry

Both parents as co-authors, in a private family space.

Does it know you?

What to Expect

Knows "week 24 moms" as a demographic; it does not know you.

Syncry

Iris remembers your family: your entries, moods and rhythms, week after week.

Privacy

What to Expect

Carries Mozilla's *Privacy Not Included warning; ad-funded, same data policy as BabyCenter.

Syncry

No ads, no shop, nothing sold. Your data stays your family's.

How far it goes

What to Expect

Pregnancy and the first year; the depth thins after that.

Syncry

One continuous journey, pregnancy to age 3. Nothing resets at the birth.

What remains

What to Expect

None; the content feed is the product.

Syncry

A printable family book that two voices wrote together, Sunday by Sunday.

Choose What to Expect if...

You want the classic reference brand and its enormous forums.

Choose Syncry if...

You are two, and you both want to live this, write this, and keep this.

What to Expect was written for her. Syncry was built for the two of you.
