Comparison

Homie vs Cozi

An Honest Comparison

Cozi has helped families stay organized since 2007 — including ours when we lived on Bali in 2019. But as our family grew across several homes, with young children and a couple of ADHD brains in the mix, we needed something better. Something that could replace Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Reminders, task lists, and even AnyList for recipes, meal planning, and shopping lists — the whole shebang. So we built Homie.

This is an honest comparison of paid plans — Homie, Cozi Gold, and Cozi Max. We know Cozi well, and we'll give credit where it's due.

AI features

Cozi has flat-rate pricing while Homie charges per user. For small families, pricing is similar. For larger families, Cozi is cheaper — but lacks routines, public sharing, week view, and the modern fast interface that Homie offers.
