Sift saves creative small business owners time on the administrative side of things so that they have more time to do what they love, CREATE! CUSTOM INQUIRY FORMS Create forms for your potential clients to fill out when inquiring about your product or service. No two businesses are exactly alike which is why you will be able to create forms that are perfectly tailored to your unique business. INTERACTIVE INQUIRY LIST As soon as a client fills out your form, their inquiry pops up into your Inquiry list! From here you can quickly accept or decline them with the click of a button which will automatically send them an email to let them know your response! If you need to look more into what exactly they are requesting, click on their inquiry to see all of their responses to the question in your form. PROJECT VIEW Tap on your accepted inquiry from your list to view all of the project details. In this view you will be able to see their form response, you will be able to message them and view all of your conversations & attachments that may have been sent back and forth, as well as keep track of their payments.

SCHEDULE BLOCKING In your settings, you can block off dates that you are unavailable. Build in breaks for yourself! This setting will automatically sync with the date selector that your clients see in your form, preventing them from submitting an inquiry for that date.

Kidtime is a custody calendar that turns your parenting time into a record you can actually use. Use Kidtime on your own to keep your parenting records, or invite your coparent to coordinate together. WHEN IT'S YOUR WORD AGAINST THEIRS Keep a dated record of handoffs, notes and schedule changes. When you need to show what actually happened — to your attorney, a mediator, or a judge — it's one tap, not a year of screenshots. WHAT'S FREE • Custody calendar for the current month • Unlimited swaps and hand-offs • Notes and photos on any day • Messaging built for co-parents • Expense logging with receipts • Shared file vault for the plan, the order, the school forms WHAT PREMIUM ADDS • Court-ready PDF exports — timestamped: who had the kids, when, and what changed • Attorney access — a secure, view-only link to your records, hidden from your co-parent • Parenting time analytics — scheduled vs actual, by day, month and overnight • The full calendar — every past and future month, not just this one • Holidays and traditions that alternate by year, carried forward for you • Recorded calls — call your co-parent in the app, recorded and transcribed automatically • Tone Meter — scan a message before you send it, and rewrite it if it reads worse than you meant • Search across your notes and message history • Expense analytics BUILT FOR THE SITUATION YOU'RE IN Working with an attorney, heading into mediation, or holding a court-ordered schedule — Kidtime keeps the record you'll be asked for. Start from a standard pattern (50/50, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, week-on week-off, every other weekend) or build your own, set the holidays that matter, and it fills the calendar forward. TWO WAYS TO USE IT On your own — your calendar, notes, analytics and exports all work whether or not your co-parent ever signs up. Together — invite them and you share one schedule, one thread, one record. They can join on the free tier, so cost is never the reason they don't. BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES Multiple children, blended households, alternating holidays, and schedules that don't fit a template. "I built Kidtime as a co-parent, for families like mine. Hearing from other co-parents about how much it has helped them is the reason I keep building it." — Vince, Founder Questions? hello@kidtime.app Terms of Use: https://kidtime.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://kidtime.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sift at 70% against Kidtime Coparenting Calendar's 25%. Kidtime Coparenting Calendar's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sift sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and Kidtime Coparenting Calendar sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Kidtime Coparenting Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kidtime Coparenting Calendar has 457 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Sift's written reviews are positive against 25% of Kidtime Coparenting Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sift ships an update every 6 weeks, Kidtime Coparenting Calendar every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
