Custody X Change vs Fayr

Custody X Change helps users create custody schedules and parenting plans, calculate parenting time, and keep co-parenting information organized. Its calendar accommodates regular, seasonal, holiday, and one-time changes, with calculations based on hours or overnights. The parenting-plan template has 144 provisions, and users can add their own. Other tools include a private journal, actual parenting-time tracker, expense tracking, child information, activities, and co-parent messaging. Messages can be printed with read receipts, and the messaging system detects hostile language. Calendars can sync with services such as Google Calendar or Outlook. The service also sends children's names, birth dates, and parenting-time totals to the cloud version of Family Law Software for child-support calculations. A limited free version restricts scheduling to five holidays and does not allow printing. The Parent plan starts at $6 a month, billed annually. The maker says data is encrypted in its database and in transit, but its terms do not guarantee court acceptance of a schedule or plan.

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. Its privacy policy says use is licensed only in the United States and disclaims a definitive security guarantee.
