CoreParent vs Fayr

CoreParent organizes co-parenting work around parenting plans, calendars, expenses, messages, and records. Its 14-section parenting blueprint can be started from scratch or built by importing an existing plan or court order. A custody calendar supports arrangements such as 2-2-3 and week-on/week-off, tracks parenting time, and exports via iCal to Google, Apple, or Outlook. The child support calculator covers all 50 states. Before sending, in-app messages are checked for hostile, accusatory, or threatening language; Companion can suggest calmer rewrites and identify events or expenses, but requires user approval before sending. Accounts are private by default, and each user chooses what to share with a co-parent. CoreParent says data is encrypted in transit and at rest. It is available on iOS, macOS, and the web. The free plan limits expenses, court deadlines, and calculations; annual Solo costs $129 a year and annual Family costs $199 a year. In-app expense payments incur a 2% platform fee, and both parents need payout accounts. CoreParent describes itself as an organizational tool, not legal advice.

Fayr is a co-parenting app for organizing custody schedules, finances, documentation, location records and communication. Its time-sharing calendar tracks custody and lets each parent add special events to children’s schedules. Built-in messaging keeps child-related exchanges together with previous messages. Parents can enter, categorize and monitor expenses, attaching notes, images and receipts. Monthly parenting reports cover custody, documentation engagement and response time, while records can be exported as time- and date-stamped PDFs for legal documentation. Premium adds GPS-verified location check-ins, a File Vault for sharing photos, screenshots and PDFs, PDF exports and a private parenting journal. Journal material can be attached to calendar entries and optionally included in reports. Fayr Lite is free forever and includes the main features. Fayr Premium costs what you agree with the maker, billed monthly or through an annual subscription. The app runs on Android and iOS. FAYR LLC is based in Weston, Florida.
