The Solution vs. Kidtime

Kidtime's free tier is a real shared custody calendar with messaging and notes. Its paid tiers add custody time analytics, full data export, attorney access, and AI tone scanning, the same documentation territory as a court-record tool. The Solution is $24.99 once, has no messaging or documentation features at all, and doesn't try to be that kind of product.

What Kidtime's paid tiers are actually for

Attorney access and court-ready PDF exports aren't calendar features, they're the same job OurFamilyWizard does. If that's what you need, it's a real need, and we cover the reasoning on why this app deliberately doesn't do it. If you just want the free-tier calendar without ever touching the paid documentation tools, Kidtime's free plan and The Solution end up solving a similar problem, minus the subscription.

What this costs

Checked September 2, 2026, sourced to Kidtime's App Store listing.

Kidtime's paid tier runs $69.99 to $99.99 a year, per parent: Pro starts at $69.99, Premium lists at $99.99 and is frequently discounted. That's cheaper than the court-grade apps like OurFamilyWizard, but it's still a subscription, and it's still priced per parent, not per household. The Solution is $24.99 once, full stop, for the whole household.

Buy Kidtime instead if

You specifically need attorney access, AI tone scanning on messages, or court-ready exports, and you're fine with a subscription to get them. That's a real feature set built for a real situation.

Buy The Solution instead if

You want the calendar part solved: custody rotation templates, a running list of what changed, kitchen display mode, all in the core purchase, without paying every year for documentation tools you'll never open.
