TalkingParents vs. other co-parenting apps
While you have lots of options for co-parenting services, other common apps on the market today do not offer full-service solutions for shared custody. 2Houses and SupportPay: Calendar & Messages (formerly WeParent) have features for messaging and scheduling, but they don’t offer audio or video calling. Peaceful CoParenting Messenger can keep written communication documented, but it’s for messaging only. OnWard can help you coordinate shared expenses, but it can’t help you with anything else.
There are many other services available besides the examples mentioned, but they all fall short of your needs and standards. Additionally, choosing TalkingParents means joining an extensive support network with the most comprehensive co-parenting tools of any shared parenting platform out there. Our parenting resources, social media channels, webinars, newsletters, and partnerships are carefully curated to give you free access to important information that can make your co-parenting journey easier to navigate.
