A Cozi alternative for couples who share a home
Cozi is a well-loved family calendar with shopping lists and recipes. If what you need is the rest of the household too — the bills, the house, the paperwork — and a way to keep some things to yourself, Convivo may fit better.
Where Convivo is different
- The whole household, not only the calendar: bills and who owes whom, a home maintenance plan with your contractors, trips, notes, vehicles, documents and a private health area.
- Private by default: each person's tasks, lists and categories are theirs until they share them. Share a single task, a list, or everything.
- A Daily Brief: today and the next two weeks across every area on one screen.
- No ads on any plan, no trackers, no AI on your data.
Where Cozi may suit you better
- You only want a shared calendar and grocery list, and you're happy with what you have.
- You need a native app from the App Store or Google Play today (Convivo's are planned for early 2027; until then it adds to your home screen from the browser).

Questions
- Is Convivo a Cozi alternative?
- Yes, for households that want more than a shared calendar and lists: Convivo also covers bills and shared costs, home maintenance, trips, notes, and family and health records, with each person's things private until they share them.
- How much is Cozi compared with Convivo?
- Cozi's own site lists a free plan with ads and Cozi Gold at $39 a year (checked October 2026). Convivo is free during its private beta, with no ads on any plan.
- Can my partner and I keep some things private?
- Yes. In Convivo everything starts private to the person who added it. You share one task, a whole list, a section or a whole category when you choose, and Settings → Sharing shows it all in one place.
- Does Convivo work with Outlook and Google Calendar?
- Yes. Connect Outlook or Google to see those events in Convivo, and optionally have Convivo add its dates to a separate “Convivo” calendar in your account.
