Cozi has been the go-to family organizer for years. Village is the newer alternative built around one idea: the app should do the remembering, so you don't have to.

Comparison reflects each app's publicly described features as of 2026.
Cozi is a solid, long-running family organizer. If you only need a shared calendar and lists, its free plan covers the basics — with ads. It's a known name for a reason.
Village turns chores into a points-and-rewards system, so kids have a reason to open the app. Cozi doesn't offer a built-in reward system.
Village tracks assignments, due dates, and grades alongside everything else. Cozi stops at the calendar.
Village is ad-free on every plan. We don't show ads or sell your family's data.
Chores, meals, rewards, and school — all in one ad-free place. Cancel anytime before the trial ends.
