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 private beta the app is free and no trial clock is running. Every new account starts with a 14-day full Premium trial and no credit card. When it ends, you either pick a paid plan or drop to the free plan — nothing is deleted and no card is charged automatically, because you never entered one.

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.

The private journal and legal hold are included in Standard. The full nine-section court export with the SHA-256 seal and read-only professional access are Premium features, along with the AI Tone Coach and AI Mediator.

For a two-parent family: Braidly is $129.99 a year total. OurFamilyWizard bills each parent separately at roughly $149.99 to $299.88 each per year, so $300 to $600 for the pair. TalkingParents runs $7 to $32 per month per parent, so $168 to $768 a year for two. AppClose is free. All figures are from each company's public 2026 pricing.
