Short answer: pick Zola Baby if you want cash funds, an app and an expecting-parent discount in one place. Pick the Diaper Reveal registry if you want something simple and free: add gifts from any store, let guests mark gifts as given, and share one link in 24 languages with no app. If you want Zola's extras, Zola fits better.
Checked on 7 Nov 2026 from their public pages. Everything we say about Zola below comes from the Zola Baby home page (baby.zola.com) as it reads today. Its FAQ page only showed category names, and some registry pages did not load for us, so if a detail is not here, we left it out rather than guess.
What each registry is
Zola Baby is Zola's baby registry. Its home page says you "can add it to your registry from any online store," offers "a zero-fee cash fund for anything," and says "No app required for friends and family shopping!" while promoting its own app for the parents.
The Diaper Reveal registry is free too. You add gifts from any store, guests can mark a gift as given so you do not get doubles, and you share one link. It works in 24 languages and needs no app. Start one here.
