Comparison
CoParent Circle vs 2houses
2houses is a polished European co-parenting app that does calendar, expenses, and journal well. The story shifts for US co-parents who need a record their family-law attorney will actually use in court.
Why co-parents switch from 2houses
- Built around US court evidentiary expectations: immutable history, timestamped entries, chain-of-custody report exports.
- Per-case professional access included on Pro: invite your US attorney, mediator, or GAL with view-only or commenting roles.
- Court-ready PDF / CSV reports out of the box. 2houses focuses on day-to-day coordination; CoParent Circle adds the evidentiary export layer.
- Free plan covers calendar, messaging, and basic expenses — 2houses requires Premium for most useful functionality.

FAQ
Should US co-parents use 2houses or CoParent Circle?
2houses is a Belgian-built co-parenting app with a strong calendar and journal focus and a loyal European user base. For US co-parents who anticipate using their records in a US family-law context, CoParent Circle is built around the evidentiary requirements US courts expect — immutable history, timestamped messages, chain-of-custody report exports — and per-case professional access for US attorneys, mediators, and GALs.
Is CoParent Circle priced similarly?
CoParent Circle has a free plan with all core features, and Pro at $12/parent/month — comparable to 2houses' Premium tier. The Family plan ($24/month flat) covers two parents plus step-parents and grandparents under one subscription.
Does CoParent Circle have a journal like 2houses?
Yes — every message thread and event entry doubles as a timestamped journal, and the document vault lets you upload supporting photos, school updates, or medical records. The combined output exports as a single court-ready PDF or CSV.
Can I share access with my attorney or mediator?
Yes. Professional access is per-case with view-only or commenting roles, and you control which resources (messages, calendar, expenses, documents) they see. Unlimited professionals are included on Pro and Family — no per-seat fees.
