Handovers that remember the kit
Every swap between homes has a time, a place and a list of what goes with each child (PE kit, reading book, inhaler), ticked off as they go. Not just a line in the calendar.
← All comparisonsMaziko vs TalkingParents
A fairer alternative to TalkingParents.
TalkingParents leans hard into an unalterable communication record for high-conflict situations. If your priority is a shared calendar the whole family actually enjoys using, its accountability-first design can feel heavy, and it charges per parent for the useful tiers.

Why families choose Maziko instead
Your co-parent joins free
One person pays. The other parent and everyone else you invite join for free. If you pay, it is for extra features, never for people.
Everyone who helps, not just two parents
Grandparents, a childminder and a new partner each get their own view of just what they need. Most co-parenting apps stop at the two parents.
Try the fairer option.
