Looking for a 2houses alternative?
GrownUps is a free alternative to 2houses. 2houses uses family pricing — one annual payment covers both parents — which is fairer than per-parent billing, but it is still a paid, annual-only product, and reviewers describe it as a website wrapper. GrownUps is free, is a native mobile app, and works fully for one parent before the other joins.

2houses’ family pricing — one payment covering both parents — removes the “why should I pay for my ex” friction that per-parent apps create, and it is multilingual. GrownUps is free, which out-flanks family pricing entirely, and it is English-first for now.
What we’d choose GrownUps for
Free beats family-priced. It is a native, mobile-first app rather than a web product with an app attached. It works fully for the first parent on day one. And the expense ledger runs a real settlement lifecycle, not a balance that never resolves.
Switching
Export your data from 2houses, set up your schedule in GrownUps in about five minutes, and invite your co-parent when you’re ready.
Questions
Good to know.

Yes. Where 2houses charges a subscription, GrownUps is free for both parents — calendar, messaging, handovers and expenses — with no per-parent fee, and your record is free to export forever.
Does GrownUps charge each parent separately?
No — there is no per-parent fee, ever. One price for a family, or no price at all.
Can I use GrownUps before my co-parent joins?
Yes. Every core feature works for one parent alone first; when your co-parent joins, everything lines up automatically.
