CoParent makes splitting kids' expenses simple, fair and documented, even if you're the only parent using the app. Snap a photo of a receipt and the AI reads the store, date, total and items, then fills in the expense. You check it and save. No more shoeboxes of receipts or photos texted back and forth. YOUR DASHBOARD ANSWERS ONE QUESTION Who owes who, and how much? One number that updates as soon as either of you adds an expense or confirms a payment. SOLO MODE: START ON YOUR OWN, INVITE LATER Log expenses, scan receipts and keep your calendar on your own. Nothing is sent to your coparent until you invite them. If they join later, they see the full history. RECORDS NEITHER PARENT CAN CHANGE Every expense, approval, dispute and message is timestamped. Once it is saved, neither you nor your coparent can edit or delete it. PDF REPORTS FOR YOUR ATTORNEY OR MEDIATOR With CoParent Plus, export a PDF of your expenses, approvals, disputes and payments for the dates you pick, with the full audit trail. CUSTOM SPLIT RATIOS Your order says 60/40 on medical and 70/30 on activities? With CoParent Plus, set the split per child and per category, and each new expense follows it. ONE PRICE, BOTH PARENTS One subscription covers your whole household. CoParent Plus is $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year. New subscribers get the first week free. APPROVALS Add an expense and your coparent approves it or disputes it with a reason. Both stay on the record. MESSAGES With CoParent Plus, message your coparent in the app. Every message is timestamped and cannot be edited or deleted. SETTLE UP Record payments made by Venmo, Zelle or cash. Once your coparent confirms a payment, the balance updates for both of you. FREE PLAN Start free with 50 expenses and 5 AI scans a month. Upgrade when you're ready. Built by a founder who knows the problem firsthand. No private equity, no ads. Just a clean tool that does one job well.
