Cozi vs Equal House

Cozi is a family organizer for coordinating schedules, activities, shopping, tasks, and meals. Its shared, color-coded calendar supports reminders and agenda emails, while shared grocery lists can be emailed to someone picking up the shopping. Families can also create to-do, chore, packing, and other lists, with no stated limit on the number of lists. The recipe library stores recipes, supports weekly dinner planning, and can add ingredients to a shopping list. Calendar feeds to and from Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar are read-only. One account supports up to 12 family members, and everyone included can view, add, edit, and delete account data. Cozi is available on the web and through iOS and Android apps. Cozi Free costs nothing. Cozi Gold costs $39 a year, and Cozi Max costs $79 a year. A two-week Gold trial is available when subscribing on the web, but not through app store subscriptions. Cozi says it does not offer phone support or restricted access for family members on an account.

Equal House is a family planning app for households dividing chores, childcare and mental load. It combines shared calendars, chores, meals, money, shopping lists and other household planning with a live Fairness Score. Each task receives an effort weight, contributing to a household score from 0 to 100; Auto-Balance uses that score to redistribute upcoming chores. Planners cover meals and shopping, children’s parties, school runs and exercise. Magic Add can read pasted or photographed newsletters and suggest events or chores for review before saving. Pro can connect Google, Outlook, Apple or school calendars, and link Claude or other AI assistants with confirmation required for changes. Children use adult-managed profiles without email addresses, passwords or independent accounts. The app runs on Android and iOS. A free plan supports planning up to three days ahead. Equal House Pro costs £2.99 per household per month, or £29.90 per year.
