Are app-connected night lights like the Hatch worth the extra money?

Across the parenting communities we read, opinion is genuinely split. Many verified-purchase and community reviewers call the Hatch a useful 3-in-1 (white noise, night light, OK-to-Wake), while others say the core functions don't justify the price and resent any subscription upsell. If you'll actually use scheduling and OK-to-Wake, the value improves; if you only want a soft glow and one sound, a cheaper plug-in may serve.
