Desk research from the maker's own pages. Not yet tried by us. Checked 2026-10-24.
A shared family app with a color-coded calendar, grocery and to-do lists, a recipe box and a meal planner. Everyone in the family logs in to one account and sees the same plans, with reminders and agenda emails; it syncs with Google, Outlook and Apple calendars. Older kids can check their schedule, tick off chores and add to the shopping list. The free version shows ads; Cozi Gold removes them and adds a month view and birthday tracker.
Our take: A simple, proven family calendar; families with young kids should keep the account in a parent's name given the mixed age rules.
| Ages it suits | whole family; kids about 8+ can use it with a parent |
|---|---|
| What its terms say about age | The terms say any user under 13 must have a parent or guardian register the account, give consent and provide the child's contact details. The privacy policy separately says Cozi does not knowingly let anyone under 16 provide personal information. (terms) |
| Price | Free, with paid extras. Free with ads. Cozi Gold is $39 on the web or as an in-app purchase; the page does not state the billing period (Oct 2026). |
| Works on | Web, iPhone and iPad, Android |
| Account | A parent's account |
| Ads | Yes |
| In-app purchases | Yes |
| The AI in it | No AI features described on the pages checked. |
