CoParent vs ParentShift

CoParent makes splitting child expenses simple, fair, and documented, even if you're the only parent using the app. Snap a photo of any receipt and AI extracts the store, date, total, and category automatically. No more manual entry. No more shoeboxes of crumpled receipts. No more text message arguments about who owes what. YOUR DASHBOARD ANSWERS ONE QUESTION Who owes who, and how much? One number. Updated in real time. No spreadsheets required. SOLO MODE: ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE, INVITE LATER Most coparenting apps are built around documenting a hostile ex. CoParent's Solo Mode is different. It is a personal organizer for your side of parenting. Log expenses, scan receipts, track your schedule, generate reports. All yours. No outreach to your coparent required. When and if they join, they see your full history automatically. Perfect for parents who want to stay organized without starting a legal paper trail. COURT READY RECORDS Every expense, message, and approval is timestamped and immutable. Records cannot be edited or deleted after submission, not by you, not by your coparent, not by us. Generate professional PDF reports with full audit trails for your attorney or mediator. CUSTOM SPLIT RATIOS Your court order says 60/40 medical, 70/30 extracurricular? Set per child and per category ratios that match your decree exactly. ONE PRICE, BOTH PARENTS One subscription covers your entire household. No more fighting about who pays for the app. $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year for unlimited access. APPROVAL WORKFLOW Submit an expense, your coparent approves or disputes it. Structured, documented, and drama free. No more texting back and forth. SECURE MESSAGING Court admissible messaging built in. Every message is timestamped and permanent. Keep all communication about the kids in one documented place. SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS Record payments made through Venmo, Zelle, or cash. Your coparent confirms receipt. Full payment history at a glance. FREE TIER Get started free with 50 expenses a month, 5 AI receipt scans a month, and 50/50 splits. Upgrade when you're ready. Built by a founder who understands the problem firsthand. No private equity. No bloated features. Just a clean tool that does one thing well.

ParentShift is the calm way for separated and divorced parents to run life across two homes: the custody calendar, shared expenses, and your kids' moments, with one subscription that covers both parents. No per-parent fees. No courtroom vibes. Just the logistics, handled. A CUSTODY CALENDAR YOU BOTH TRUST Set up your parenting time in minutes: week on week off, every other weekend, 50/50, or your own pattern. Any change to the other parent's days needs their tap to confirm, so the schedule is never a surprise. Need to swap days? Ask with one tap; nothing moves until you both agree. Exports to Apple and Google Calendar. SHARED EXPENSES THAT SETTLE FAIRLY Snap a receipt and the details fill themselves. Track kid costs, split them 50/50 or any way you agree, and settle with a handshake: one parent marks it paid back, the other confirms it arrived. No more "we're even" arguments. SMOOTH PICKUPS AND DROPOFFS Notes that travel with the kids: mood, sleep, anything flagged for the receiving parent. Plus a live list of what's at each house (the inhaler, the cleats, the library book) so nothing gets stranded at the wrong home. YOUR KIDS' MOMENTS, KEPT A private, encrypted photo timeline for each kid: lost teeth, first goals, small Tuesdays. Every month, ParentShift turns it into a recap story for both of you. Proof that apart doesn't mean falling apart. AN ENCRYPTED KID INFO BANK Medical notes, school details, emergency contacts, sizes. Encrypted on your device before upload, readable only in the app. WORKS EVEN IF YOUR CO-PARENT WON'T JOIN Everything works solo from day one. Invite your co-parent whenever they're ready; joining is free for them. ONE PRICE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY One subscription covers both parents and all your kids. Because co-parenting is a two-person job, charging each parent separately never made sense to us. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking, no data selling. Export everything or delete your account any time. ParentShift is built for amicable co-parenting and everyday two-home logistics. If you need court-admissible records for active litigation, a documentation-focused tool will fit better. Privacy Policy: https://parentshift.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://parentshift.app/terms
