Cozi review

Cozi is built for households rather than friend groups. The whole family shares one account and each person signs in their own way, so everyone sees the same calendar, color-coded by person, with reminders and agenda emails. The calendar sits next to shared grocery lists, to-do lists and a meal planner that can send ingredients to the shopping list, which makes it more of a family command center than a plain calendar. Cozi can bring in events from Google, Outlook and Apple calendars as well as school calendars and team schedules from TeamSnap and SportsEngine. The free version covers the calendar, lists and recipe library. Cozi Gold costs $39 per year and removes ads while adding month view on mobile, calendar search, change notifications for everyone and a birthday tracker. Cozi Max costs $79 per year and adds AI event import from emails and AI meal planning. For a club or a group of friends who each have their own accounts, Cozi's single family account is the wrong shape.
