Before you decide
Does CuboAi track breathing like Nanit?
CuboAi's current marketing states its camera detects breathing motion with no band attached, alongside AI safety alerts such as a covered face or rollover. Nanit takes a different approach: the camera reads the printed pattern on Nanit Breathing Wear to measure an actual breathing rate through the night, a method that does not rely on the camera alone. We have not independently tested CuboAi's claim, so we would compare the two methods directly with each brand before deciding which fits your family.
Is CuboAi or Nanit cheaper to run long term?
Nanit's camera, alerts and breathing motion monitoring all work without any ongoing plan, with 3 months of Insights analytics included free. CuboAi has bundled longer free trials of its own plan with some sets. Confirm CuboAi's current subscription requirements and AUD pricing before comparing total cost.
