Pricing: Per-Parent vs Per-Pair
2Houses charges each parent separately at €5.49/month, meaning a co-parenting pair pays roughly €11/month or about $12 USD total. CoParentSplit charges $6.99/month for the pair — one subscription, both parents included. On an annual basis, 2Houses costs approximately $144/year compared to CoParentSplit's $59.99/year. That's more than double the price for a pair.
All-in-One vs Focused Approach
2Houses offers messaging, a shared calendar, a journal/diary feature, document storage, and a finance module all in one platform. CoParentSplit focuses exclusively on expense tracking and does it with more depth — per-child tagging, category-based split ratios, and automatic monthly reports. If you want everything under one roof, 2Houses provides that. If you want the best expense tracking experience and already use texting and Google Calendar, CoParentSplit delivers more for less.
The International Angle
2Houses was founded in Belgium and supports 12+ languages with native handling of €, £, and $ currencies. This makes it a strong choice for international co-parents or non-English speakers. CoParentSplit is currently focused on the US and Canada market with English-language support and USD/CAD. If you're based outside North America, 2Houses has the edge in localization.
Expense Tracking Features Compared
While 2Houses includes a finance module, it's one feature among many and provides basic expense logging and balance calculation. CoParentSplit's entire product is built around expense tracking — it offers per-child expense tagging, customizable category-based split ratios (medical at 70/30, activities at 50/50), automatic monthly reports with category breakdowns, CSV export, and receipt uploads. For co-parents whose main pain point is the monthly expense conversation, CoParentSplit goes significantly deeper.
If Your Co-Parent Won't Participate
CoParentSplit offers Solo Mode — you can track all expenses yourself and share a read-only summary link with your co-parent. This is invaluable when one parent is reluctant to sign up for yet another app. 2Houses is designed as a two-parent platform where most features require both parents to be active users. If there's any chance your co-parent won't join, CoParentSplit gives you a path forward.
Which Is Right for You?
Choose CoParentSplit if:
North American co-parents who want the best expense tracking without paying for features they don't need
Choose 2Houses if:
International co-parents who want messaging, calendar, and basic finances in one app
The Bottom Line
2Houses is a solid choice if you need a single platform for everything — messaging, scheduling, and expense tracking — especially if you're outside the US. But if your primary pain point is tracking shared child expenses and knowing who owes what each month, CoParentSplit does that better and cheaper. Most CoParentSplit users pair it with whatever messaging and calendar tools they already use.
