OurFamilyWizard pricing at a glance (2026)

OurFamilyWizard sells annual subscriptions per parent. As of 2026 the published pricing sits in this range:

  • Base plan — roughly $99 / parent / year (calendar, messaging, journal).
  • Standard plan — roughly $144 / parent / year (adds expense tracking, more features).
  • Professional access — separate paid add-on billed to attorneys and mediators, per family.
  • Third-party service fees — additional charges may apply for services like ToneMeter or expense payments.

A two-parent household on the Standard plan spends about $288 per year before any attorney access. Over a five-year custody arrangement that's around $1,440.

Pricing is set by OurFamilyWizard and can change; check their site for the exact current numbers.

Does OurFamilyWizard have a free version?

No. OurFamilyWizard does not offer a permanent free tier. There is a short trial window, and then the app becomes read-only or locked until a subscription is active. Both parents need a paid account for the shared features to work.

This is the single most common frustration co-parents raise on family-law forums and in reviews — especially for families where money is already tight because of the separation. It's the reason free alternatives like CustodyTrac exist.

The free alternative: what you actually give up (spoiler: nothing important)

CustodyTrac is a free co-parenting app that includes every core OurFamilyWizard workflow: shared custody calendar with swap requests, tamper-evident messages with per-person read receipts, expense splitting with a running balance, timestamped transfer log with on-time percentage, severity-tagged incident reports, and one-click court-ready PDF exports.

Attorneys and mediators get a free, read-only portal — no per-family charge, no separate professional subscription. If your case is contested and your attorney requests OurFamilyWizard by name, that's a real reason to stay on it. Otherwise, the underlying record CustodyTrac produces is built to the same evidentiary standard.

When paying for OurFamilyWizard still makes sense

  • A judge has ordered OurFamilyWizard by name in your case — follow the order.
  • Your attorney's firm already runs their entire practice on OFW's professional portal.
  • You specifically need OFW's ToneMeter or their in-app payment integrations.
  • You value the historical case-law footprint of the OFW brand and can absorb the cost.

What you get

  • OurFamilyWizard is roughly $99–$144 per parent per year.
  • Both parents pay separately — so about $198–$288 per household.
  • Attorney access is a separate paid add-on, not included.
  • There is no permanent free tier.
  • CustodyTrac gives you the same court-ready toolkit for $0.
  • Free attorney/mediator portal included with CustodyTrac.
  • Append-only audit log with server-side timestamps on both apps.
  • One-click PDF court exports — unlimited on CustodyTrac.

Frequently asked questions

How much does OurFamilyWizard cost per parent?
OurFamilyWizard costs roughly $99–$144 per parent per year depending on the plan you pick. Both parents pay separately, so a two-parent household spends about $198–$288 per year total. There is no free tier.
Does OurFamilyWizard have a free plan?
No. OurFamilyWizard does not offer a free plan or a permanent free tier. It offers a short trial, then requires a paid subscription from every parent on the account. If free is important, CustodyTrac offers the same core workflow (calendar, messages, expenses, transfers, court-ready exports) at $0 for both parents forever.
Do attorneys and mediators pay extra on OurFamilyWizard?
Yes. Professional access on OurFamilyWizard is a separate paid add-on billed to the professional. Attorneys and mediators pay per-family or per-account. CustodyTrac includes a free read-only attorney and mediator portal at no cost to anyone.
Why is OurFamilyWizard so expensive?
OurFamilyWizard was one of the first co-parenting tools and its pricing was set when subscription software was new. The company invests heavily in courtroom credibility, sales to family-law firms, and integrations. That has real value in contested cases, but the pricing hasn't come down as competitors have shipped equivalent features.
Is there a free alternative to OurFamilyWizard with the same features?
Yes — CustodyTrac. Every core OurFamilyWizard workflow is included: shared color-coded custody calendar, tamper-evident messaging with read receipts, expense splitting with a running balance, timestamped transfer log, severity-tagged incident reports, and one-click court-ready PDF exports. It's $0 for both parents, $0 for attorneys, and $0 for exports.
Will a judge accept records from a free app instead of OurFamilyWizard?
In most jurisdictions, yes — admissibility depends on whether the record has append-only entries, server-side timestamps, and verifiable metadata, not on the app's brand. CustodyTrac's records are built to the same evidentiary standard. If a judge in your case has specifically ordered OurFamilyWizard by name, follow the order.

Free for both parents. Forever.

Every CustodyTrac feature is available at no cost. No paywalls, no upsells, no locked reports.
