Shared Parenting is a mobile co-parenting app for divorced and separated parents who need one place to coordinate custody, child-related expenses, communication, and shared information. Its feature set covers custom custody schedules, swap requests, receipt photos, automatic expense splitting, recurring expenses, monthly PDF reports, documented chat, child profiles, shared tasks, and real-time shopping lists. It is available on iOS and Android, with separate partnerships for sharing selected expenses, calendar events, documents, and messages.

Pricing is straightforward but subscription-based. The 30-Day Free Trial provides full feature access without requiring a credit card, including the AI mediator, expense tracking, custody calendar, and documented chat. The Monthly plan costs $9.90 per month and includes all features, while the Annual plan costs $99.90 per year and provides the same features with yearly billing. The app is billed through Apple or Google, and the published pricing notes that those stores may charge in local currency. Families comparing options should account for the lack of a continuing free plan.

The strongest focus is structured coordination. The AI mediator analyzes message tone and suggests calmer rewrites, while permanent chat with read receipts and no message editing or deletion creates a consistent communication record. Calendar synchronization works with iPhone and Android calendars, and child profiles can hold medical, school, emergency, and identification information. Monthly reports are intended to assist with records, but they are not guaranteed to be admissible in court. Shared Parenting suits co-parents who prioritize documented communication and expense organization; those needing in-app payments, video calls, or a dedicated document vault should choose another app.
