When Custody X Change may be the better fit
Custody X Change puts particular emphasis on calculating parenting time, recording actual time, building schedules and preparing a written parenting plan. Its official pages also describe a private journal, expense reports, child information and messaging with a hostility monitor.
Those planning and calculation tools matter if you need to examine a proposed schedule or quantify time over a period. CoParent does not provide an exact parenting-time percentage calculator or a legal-plan drafting tool.
When CoParent may fit an existing arrangement
Consider CoParent when the arrangement is already decided and the work is following it: checking the next exchange, requesting a swap, noting a late pickup, splitting a school expense and finding a child’s medical or school details.
The family message thread includes an optional Premium AI rewrite before you send. Premium exports shared activity as CSV or PDF for personal records. Attendance notes describe individual exchanges; they should not be treated as a calculated total of parenting time.
Choose around the question you need answered
“What percentage of time does this schedule give each parent?” needs a calculation tool. “Was tomorrow’s swap accepted?” needs an agreed change recorded in the shared routine. Start with those concrete questions and compare the tools that answer them.
CoParent helps you follow and document your day-to-day arrangement. It does not provide legal advice or replace professional help with drafting or changing that arrangement.

Frequently asked questions
Does CoParent calculate custody or parenting-time percentages?
No. CoParent has a shared custody calendar, swaps and attendance notes, but it does not calculate exact parenting-time percentages. Custody X Change explicitly offers parenting-time calculations and actual-time tracking.
Can CoParent generate a legal parenting plan?
No. CoParent helps coordinate an existing arrangement and does not draft legal parenting plans. Custody X Change offers written-plan templates and provisions on eligible plans.
Are attendance notes the same as actual-time calculations?
No. An attendance note records whether a particular exchange was on time, late or missed. That is different from calculating total or percentage parenting time over a date range.
What does CoParent provide for daily shared parenting?
CoParent combines a custody calendar, swap requests, attendance notes, family messages, 50/50 child expenses with receipts and child profiles. Premium adds personal CSV/PDF exports and optional AI tools such as a calmer message rewrite.
