Cozi vs Fami

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.

Fami combines shared family scheduling with chores, budgeting, meal planning, shopping lists, and saved places. Its calendar offers day, week, month, and agenda views, color-codes events by family member, and supports recurring events. Families can import an existing Google Calendar and export events to a device calendar. Chores can be assigned by person, day, or rotation; completed chores can earn rewards, and the site says allowance is credited automatically. The AI meal planner suggests meals based on household needs and can add planned meals to the shared shopping list. Kid Mode shows children their chores, rewards, and allowance balance without the household budget or family calendar. Fami is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The free plan includes a shared calendar, chores, shopping list, budget, and family places. Premium costs $4.99 a month or $44.99 a year; both paid plans add AI meal suggestions and advanced task tools, and the annual plan includes a 7-day free trial. Fami says it does not sell personal data, and users can request data deletion through the app.
