One subscription covers both parents. No per-parent billing. No tricks. $120 a year for everything.
The paid plan covers both parents under one household subscription. You pay once - your co-parent gets full access automatically.
Generous free tier. Powerful paid plan. No tricks, no tiers designed to confuse.
Real Free plan starts immediately, no card required. Paid plan trial is free for 14 days and requires a credit card. Cancel anytime.
We charge one household, not two individuals. Here's why that matters.
One parent pays, both get full access. If your co-parent was already using a per-parent app, the math changes dramatically. No more negotiating who pays what.
The parent who starts the account covers the family. Your co-parent joins for free. You don't need to discuss who owes what for the app - there are enough real things to figure out.
OurFamilyWizard Premium runs ~$432/year per family (both parents at $18/mo each). AppClose is ~$215/year. TalkingParents ~$168/year. Just parent is $120/year for the household.
Based on each app's lowest-priced plan that includes both parents.
Prices as of 2026. OurFamilyWizard: $18/mo per parent × 2. AppClose: $8.99/mo per parent × 2. TalkingParents: $6.99/mo per parent × 2. 2houses: household subscription ~$14/mo.
