Looking for an OurFamilyWizard alternative?
GrownUps is a free alternative to OurFamilyWizard. OurFamilyWizard charges each parent an annual subscription, and most features require both parents to be subscribed. GrownUps is free for both parents, works fully for one parent before the other joins, and never charges you to export or keep your own records. OurFamilyWizard has features GrownUps does not, including its AI message rewrite and professional practitioner access.
GrownUps is in development. Leave your email and we’ll tell you the day it’s ready — that’s the only email you’ll get.

Its AI message rewrite — which turns a hostile message into a calm one — is the single most-praised feature in this category, and it is real. GrownUps ships a free, non-AI cool-down instead: a pause that shows you your own message back before it sends. A paid, opt-in AI version is planned. OurFamilyWizard also offers practitioner access for lawyers and mediators; ours is planned, not built.
What we’d choose GrownUps for
No per-parent fee. It works before your co-parent joins. Your export is free, forever. And it is a 2026 mobile app, not a web product with an app attached.
Switching
Export your data from OurFamilyWizard, set up your schedule in GrownUps in about five minutes, and invite your co-parent when you’re ready. Nothing needs to happen at the same time.
Questions
Good to know.
Is GrownUps a free alternative to OurFamilyWizard?
Yes. Where OurFamilyWizard 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.
The honest version
Free, for both parents. No per-parent fee.
Try the calendar, messaging, handovers and expenses free — and export your record any time, at no cost.
