Peanut
Peanut is the best-known app for meeting moms internationally. It mainly works through one-to-one connections with moms nearby, and it also has groups and a community for questions. It suits you if you'd like to meet moms one at a time or ask a large community for advice.

Red Yo Cuido
Red Yo Cuido is the app from Spain's Asociación Yo No Renuncio (Club de Malasmadres), launched in Madrid in 2025. It connects moms by postcode with a focus on mutual help with childcare. It suits Spanish-speaking moms looking for practical support nearby.

Meetup
Meetup has mom groups in many cities that host open meetups. It suits you if you enjoy organized plans with new people each time, though groups can be large and change a lot.

Facebook or WhatsApp groups
Many neighborhoods already have a moms' group on Facebook or WhatsApp, and they're often great for recommendations. They suit you if your area has an active one, though in big groups it's harder to go from messages to meeting in person.

When TribuMama is a good fit
TribuMama makes sense if you want a small group of moms who live near you to meet in person, with verification to join and a chat that doesn't need your phone number. If you'd rather meet one person at a time, ask questions in a big forum or join organized activities, one of the other options will suit you better, and there's nothing wrong with combining them.
