Why “per household” matters
Many co-parenting apps charge each parent: the cost doubles, and if one parent refuses to pay, the tool is useless.
Per-parent subscription
- Each parent pays for their own plan
- Useless if your co-parent won't sign up
- Often yearly billing only
Alternly
- Free calendar for both parents
- One subscription for the whole household
- Useful on your own: journal, expenses, child support
- Monthly or yearly, cancel anytime
Frequently asked questions
Is the calendar really free?
Yes, with no time limit: custody schedule, school breaks, holidays that alternate by even/odd year, day swaps and inviting your co-parent.
Do both parents have to pay?
No. The subscription is per household: one parent pays, both get access.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, from your settings. The free trial can be canceled at no cost before it ends.
What if my co-parent doesn't use Alternly?
You still get the calendar, the custody journal, expenses (with reimbursement requests as PDF) and child support tracking.
