The Solution vs. OurFamilyWizard
These solve different problems, not competing versions of the same one. OurFamilyWizard builds a documented, court-admissible record of co-parenting communication. The Solution is a calendar with no messaging or documentation features at all. If a court has ordered documented communication, or things are headed there, buy OurFamilyWizard. If you just need both households looking at the same schedule, keep reading.
Why this isn't a feature fight
We're not going to list OurFamilyWizard's messaging, tone meter, and expense tracking and claim we do it better, because we don't do it at all, on purpose. We explain the reasoning on this page: most co-parenting is boring logistics, not litigation, and a calendar app pretending to compete with a documentation tool would be dishonest about what it actually does.
What each one costs
Prices verified September 1, 2026. Check OurFamilyWizard's site for current pricing.
OurFamilyWizard charges per parent, across four tiers. This isn't really a price comparison so much as a category difference: you're paying for the court-record infrastructure, not just a calendar.
When OurFamilyWizard is the right call
Court-ordered communication logging. Active high conflict where a documented, timestamped record protects you. A situation where a judge, mediator, or attorney needs to see the history. That's exactly what it's built for, and it's a respected tool for that job.
When The Solution is the right call
When the actual problem is logistics: two calendars that need to agree, a pickup time that changes without anyone hearing about it, a schedule pattern that's easy to get backwards. No conflict to document, just a family that needs to know what's happening and when.

When should I use The Solution instead of OurFamilyWizard?
