Feature comparison
Both apps handle co-parenting, but they optimize for different jobs.
| Feature | milinn | OurFamilyWizard |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $0 free or $9.99/mo or $89.99/yr per person for Pro | $12.50/mo per parent (Essentials tier) |
| OFW pricing checked on its public pricing page 15 September 2026: a 1 or 2 year plan from $9.17/mo billed annually, Essentials (its most popular) at $12.50/mo, up to Max at $24.99/mo. Both apps bill each parent individually. Check ourfamilywizard.com for current pricing. | ||
| Expense tracking | | |
| AI receipt scanning | | Not verified |
| On supported iPhones, Quick Scan can read the receipt entirely on-device without uploading it for scanning, with cloud fallback if needed. Android and unsupported devices use cloud scanning; saving an attached receipt uploads the image. OFW documents attaching a receipt photo; its docs do not say whether it reads the amount, so we make no claim. | ||
| Custom split percentages | | |
| Both apps support custom percentage splits per category. milinn: 70/30 medical, 50/50 daily, 100/0 extracurriculars, set once per category. | ||
| PDF exports | | |
| Both export records; OFW frames its exports for legal use, milinn provides documented audit logs without promising courtroom acceptance. | ||
| Formal legal workflows | Audit logs only | |
| OFW is explicitly designed for formal legal workflows. milinn provides documented audit logs and exports, but does not claim courtroom acceptance. | ||
| Messaging | Co-parent messaging with tone review | Full messaging + ToneMeter |
| OFW offers a business-record affidavit process for its records; milinn keeps discussion tied to expenses and messages. | ||
| Shared calendar | | |
| Parenting plan tools | | |
| Document storage | Shared documents, PDFs, and images | Full file library |
| Built for | Cooperative co-parents | Co-parents, including high-conflict and court-involved |

Which one is right for you?
Honest guidance for picking between them.
Use OurFamilyWizard if...
- You need messaging and records that attorneys or a court can access
- Your relationship is high-conflict and needs formal documentation
- You want message records your attorney can download
- You want parenting schedules and a shared calendar in the same tool as messaging
- You need attorney-facing records as a primary feature
OFW is the right tool for that audience. It is built around records and professional access.
Use milinn if...
- You and your co-parent are cooperative and just want expenses handled fairly
- You want AI receipt scans so you don't have to type amounts manually
- You want one parent to upgrade to Pro while the other stays Free
- You want app-based simplicity without the legal-tool overhead
- You prefer $9.99/mo or $89.99/yr per person to OFW's per-parent plans, which run from $9.17/mo billed annually to $24.99/mo
If you are not in litigation, you probably want less friction, not more documentation.
It's okay to use both.
Make the next expense easier.
Invite your co-parent with a code, then log the first shared expense. The split is calculated for you, and both of you see the same record.
