TextingParents is a coParenter alternative for parents who want the record and the schedule more than they want a mediator on call. Here is TextingParents vs coParenter, using only what each site says today.
Only what each company publishes about itself. Nothing here is a guess about how the other app works.
coParenter details read on coparenter.com on 09/17/2026. Plans and prices change, so check their site before you decide. TextingParents details are on our pricing page and features page.
coParenter is built around getting a decision made rather than just recording the argument. Their site describes on-demand professional mediators who run supervised conversations, and mediators who then write up resolutions that can be referenced later or used in court. They also describe check-ins that log location during a planned exchange, a color-coded joint calendar with swap requests, and time-stamped transcripts that cannot be edited or deleted. If what your case needs most is a neutral third person, that is what they sell.
The first practical difference is that you can see the price before you sign up. TextingParents is free for both parents, and Premium is $99 a year or $12.99 a month for the whole family. coParenter's site advertises a 30-day trial and does not publish a price, so check their site for current pricing.
The second is what the court gets. A TrueCopy is one PDF of the messages, photos, calls and schedule changes in order, carrying a code that a judge, a clerk or the other side's attorney can check at textingparents.com/verify without contacting us. It is $39 on the Free Plan, so a hearing does not require a subscription.
It is if what you need is the thread, the calendar and a court record, all free for both parents, rather than mediation on demand.
We could not verify a price. Their site advertises a 30-day trial at no cost and, read on 09/17/2026, publishes no pricing page. Check their site for current pricing.
No. What it offers is AI tone assist, a calmer version of a hard message offered before you send it, which only you see. Mediators and attorneys can be given a TrueCopy when they need the history.
A single TrueCopy is $39 on the Free Plan, bought when a hearing needs one. Premium makes exports unlimited at $99 a year for the whole family.
No court approves an app. What is true is that the record is timestamped and cannot be edited or deleted, and that a TrueCopy can be verified by anyone at textingparents.com/verify.
Download TextingParents, invite your co-parent, and the record starts with your first message. Free for both of you.
