OurFamilyWizard vs CoFam, in one sentence each

OurFamilyWizard is a forensic record system with a calendar on top. CoFam is a calendar with audit-grade records underneath. The logging fidelity is similar; the framing is opposite, and that framing changes how the app feels every day both parents open it.

OFW's feature list leads with tamper-proof message archives, court-export PDFs, and parenting time tracking. CoFam's leads with the calendar. The implicit relationship to the co-parent is fundamentally different: OFW is built for a family that might end up in court. CoFam is built for a family that has decided to stay out of it.

What we will not build

• Call recording. An app that records the co-parent on demand is an app that trains both adults to behave as if they're being recorded. That isn't cooperation. We won't build it.
• GPS check-in. The pickup window is on the calendar. What the other parent does during their time is their business, not ours to track.
• Tone analysis. Scoring a message for hostility is the worst feature in this category. We won't ship it.
• Message rewriting. AI-suggesting how to phrase a message to your co-parent removes the human signal that something needs addressing. The message you actually wrote matters more than a sanitized version.
• Auto-court export. Exporting records is opt-in, bilateral, and should be rare. It is not the default workflow and we will not make it easy to do unilaterally.

The pricing model is the structural difference

OurFamilyWizard charges both parents: $144/year per parent at the standard tier, or $288/year for the family. TalkingParents, AppClose, 2houses, and Our Days use the same structure. In every one of those models, the app earns more revenue when the conflict persists, because both sides need the subscription.

CoFam charges one parent. The other parent is permanently free. At $79/year, the family pays less than one parent's OFW subscription. The business model requires that amicable families see enough value to subscribe voluntarily, which is a meaningful constraint on what we build and how we build it. See pricing details.
