Hutch & Hen vs Everbreed
Everbreed is the best-known rabbit records app — and the reason many breeders are looking for an alternative. Here's an honest side-by-side, including where Everbreed wins.

| Works offline | Full offline — read and write in the barn with no signal | Offline mode is read-only (per their Play Store listing) |
| Pedigrees | 3-generation pedigrees, printable, with sire/dam linkage | Pedigrees + printable cage cards, plus a rabbit marketplace between users |

Why breeders switch: the paywall problem
Everbreed's angriest reviews share a theme — breeders who spent hours entering pedigrees, then hit a subscription wall: "spent all that time putting pedigrees just for your bugged app to charge me and delete it" and "Paid $145.00 and can't add more than 2 breeders" (public Play Store reviews). Hutch & Hen is built on the opposite promise: your data never leaves your device, so no subscription can ever hold your pedigrees hostage. Our free tier includes the full logging and the money math — Pro adds convenience, never access to your own records.
Where Everbreed genuinely wins
Fair is fair. If you need your records synced across several phones, sell through an in-app marketplace, or want native store apps, Everbreed has those and Hutch & Hen doesn't. We're the pick when you want your records private, offline-capable, multi-species, and free from subscription leverage over your own data.
