Is Bibino safe? Its servers, ads and store labels, compared with Mamoon

Bibino is one of the most installed baby monitor apps, and a safe choice in the everyday sense. What its maker's own pages say about servers, recordings and ads is worth two minutes before you pick it.

Updated
Who wrote this: we make Mamoon, a baby monitor app that competes with Bibino. Every fact about Bibino comes from its maker's pages and its two store listings, read on November 6, 2026, and each one is linked.
In short
  • Mostly yes: no breach has been reported, but Bibino's video goes through its servers, and Premium keeps recordings there for 21 days (TappyTaps).
  • Its two store labels disagree. Google Play says "No data shared"; the App Store lists "Data Used to Track You: Usage Data" (App Store, November 6, 2026).
  • The free version shows ads, and the policy names AdMob and Facebook Remarketing (Bibino's policy).
  • Bibino is the better pick for watching from anywhere with no setup, for up to 4 children, and for lullabies (Bibino).
  • Mamoon keeps picture and sound on your home Wi-Fi, not the internet, with no account and no ads.

Is Bibino safe to use?

In the everyday sense, yes. Bibino is made by TappyTaps, the Czech company behind Baby Monitor 3G, and no breach of either app has turned up in the press. What a parent should know is where the picture travels. TappyTaps' own help page says: "The communication goes through our servers, and some of the data are stored on our Bibino servers." The same page says the link is encrypted by "industry-standard SSL" (Privacy and security).

Premium keeps more. "Audio and video recordings, photos, and the entire Activity Log for each monitoring session are stored for 21 days after the monitoring ends," then deleted. The free version keeps the log, but no sound, video or photos. The policy names DigitalOcean and Linode as its hosts, in the United States and the Netherlands (policy of April 10, 2025).

None of that is unusual for an app that works from anywhere. It is simply a different road from an app that stays inside the house.

Compared on what parents ask about first: where the picture goes, what is kept, account, ads and tracking, price, and what each app does at night.

Bibino's help page, policy, pricing page and both store listings, read November 6, 2026; Premium prices from the US App Store, November 4, 2026. Homepage trackers: outside services the homepage loaded from a Czech (EU) address before any consent; a US visitor may see more. Sources at the end.

Why do Bibino's two store labels disagree?

Because each store asks a different question, and the maker answers each one alone. On Google Play, Bibino's Data safety form says "No data shared with third parties". On the App Store, the label for the same app lists Usage Data under "Data Used to Track You", which Apple defines as data that "may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies" (Bibino on the App Store, read November 6, 2026).

Its Data safety section.

Bibino on the App Store: Data Used to Track You: Usage DataScreenshot: App Store (Bibino listing)Bibino icon…the App Store says"Used to Track You: Usage Data"

Its App Privacy label.

Both labels as shown on November 6, 2026 (Google Play, App Store); the red frames are ours.

Both can be true at once. Neither store checks the forms, and Google's "shared" leaves out companies a maker pays to handle data for it (Google's definition). The policy fills in the gap. It lists AdMob, which reads the advertising ID, and Facebook Remarketing, which "connects the activity of this Application with the Facebook advertising network" (Bibino's policy).

Premium removes the ads, says Bibino's pricing page. Whether it also ends the tracking on the App Store label, neither page says.

How many trackers does Bibino's website load?

Three outside services, and none of them an ad tracker. Measured on November 6, 2026, from a Czech (EU) address with no consent banner touched, the homepage fetched TappyTaps' own analytics, Google Tag Manager and a Vimeo player. EU consent rules cover that visit, so someone in the US may see more. Nanit's homepage, measured the same way, loaded 34. The other monitors are in the baby monitor privacy comparison, with every policy quoted.

A website tracker never sees the crib. It does show how a company treats you before you have bought anything, and on that, Bibino does well.

Where Bibino is stronger

If those matter more than where the picture travels, Bibino is a sound choice. Its sister app, Baby Monitor 3G, keeps the picture between the phones at home and is paid once. Dormi relays only when it must, with end-to-end encryption and no ads.

What does Bibino cost next to Mamoon?

Bibino Premium is $5.99 a month, or $29.99 or $39.99 a year; the App Store lists both yearly prices. Audio stays free. Mamoon costs $29.99 once for the picture, for life, or $3.99 a month with 14 days free, and its sound and cry alerts are free. Over two years, that is one payment against two. Annie sits at the top of the range.

Where Mamoon fits

Mamoon turns an old phone or a Wi-Fi camera by the crib into a baby monitor. Picture and sound go over your home Wi-Fi, not the internet: no cloud, no account, no ads, and it keeps working when the internet is down. With Mamoon, everything between the phone by the crib and the parent phones travels encrypted, and the parent phone checks it is the same crib phone it paired with.

It has no talk-back, lullabies or recordings. Watching from away needs your own Tailscale. Anonymous usage counts are on by default; you can switch them off. The picture is $29.99 once or $3.99 a month after 14 days free.

Frequently asked questions

Does Bibino record my baby?

On Premium, yes. Sound, video and photos from each session stay on Bibino's servers for 21 days, then are deleted automatically (TappyTaps). The free version keeps an activity log with no recordings.

Does Bibino work without the internet?

No. Bibino's connection goes through its servers, so both devices need the internet. Mamoon needs only your home Wi-Fi, and picture and sound keep going when the internet drops.

Is Bibino free?

Audio monitoring is free and unlimited, with ads. Video, motion alerts, recordings, lullabies and no ads are Premium, from $2.99 a week, with a 3-day trial on the yearly plan (Bibino pricing).

Who makes Bibino?

TappyTaps s.r.o. of Hořice, Czech Republic, which also makes Baby Monitor 3G. Both apps are encrypted in transit, per Google Play, and neither has a reported breach.

Is there a baby monitor app like Bibino with no account?

Yes. Baby Monitor 3G and Dormi pair two phones with a code, and so does Mamoon, which also has no cloud and no ads. Each fits a different household; this page and its sister pages compare them.

A video baby monitor you already own

Mamoon turns an old phone or a Wi-Fi camera into a baby monitor. It recognizes a cry by itself, wakes you even with the nursery sound muted, and the picture never leaves your Wi-Fi.
