One subscription covers both parents

No. One Braidly subscription covers the whole family — both parents, both households — and either parent can pay for it. This is the main structural difference from OurFamilyWizard and TalkingParents, which bill each parent separately and therefore cost a two-parent family twice.

Yes. Parents commonly split the subscription between them, which works out to around $6.50 each per month on the Standard annual plan. Braidly's expense tracker can hold the subscription itself as a shared recurring expense so the split settles alongside everything else.

While Braidly is in beta, every family that joins gets 60 days of full Premium access, free, with no card. When the 60 days end, nothing is charged. You can stay on the free plan or choose a paid plan, and beta families may be offered a lower price than the public one. The free plan is permanent, with the custody calendar, basic messaging, up to two children, the handoff log and limited expense tracking.

No. The free plan is permanent. It includes the shared custody calendar, basic messaging, up to two children, the handoff log, limited expense tracking and the kids' schedule view, and it does not expire.

Yes, at any point, and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. Your records are not deleted on cancellation — you drop to the free plan and keep your calendar and history.

No. The private journal, legal hold, the full court export with the SHA-256 digest and the AI Tone Coach are all included in Standard. Read-only professional access, the AI Mediator and the Co-Parenting Advisor are Premium features.

For a two-parent family: Braidly is $129.99 a year total. OurFamilyWizard bills each parent separately at $110 to $299.88 each per year, so $220 to $599.76 for the pair (their published annual prices per parent, times two, read October 2026). TalkingParents runs $7 to $32 per month per parent at its monthly rates, so $168 to $768 a year for two at those rates. AppClose is free. All figures are from each company's public pricing pages, read October 2026.
