2houses vs Family Matters

2houses helps separated parents communicate and organize care and well-being for their children. Its shared calendar supports parenting schedules, change requests, recurring visits, events, and imported school terms and holidays, with synchronization to iCal, Google Calendar, Outlook, and other standard calendar apps. Finance tools track expenses, balances, payment invitations, alimony, and spending categories, with reports exportable as CSV or PDF. Parents can message each other, children, or a mediator; conversations may be archived or printed, but not deleted. A family information bank holds child-related contact, medical, and document details. The service also provides email and push notifications, shared photo albums, a family journal, and configurable access for children and other family members. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. One subscription can cover both parents, children, third parties, and mediators, with read-only access available for mediators. The whole-family plan costs $8.25 a month, billed at 99.00 USD every 12 months. Its 14-day trial requires credit card details, and charges recur unless canceled before the trial or renewal period ends.
