Cozi is a well-loved family organizer with one shared, color-coded calendar and easy lists. The difference is upkeep: Cozi is a shared surface you keep up by hand, while Yuki tries to keep itself up from your inbox.

Can Yuki replace Cozi as a family organizer?
For many families, yes. A Yuki group has a shared calendar, tasks, grocery lists and expenses, and Yuki builds events from your inbox instead of waiting for you to forward them. Cozi's meal planner and recipe box remain its strengths, and a family that mostly wants a shared calendar and lists kept by hand may be happier staying with Cozi.
Choose Yuki if…
- You want your calendar, trips and expenses built automatically from the confirmations and bills already in your inbox, without forwarding each item
- You want two-way Google Calendar sync plus tracked expenses, subscriptions and trip itineraries in one app
- You want to cut the mental load of remembering and coordinating everyday life, with an AI assistant you can just ask
Choose Cozi if…
- You want a shared recipe box you fill yourself rather than Yuki's recipe library
- You want a family calendar with years of refinement as a standalone manual planner
- You prefer a simple, established family calendar and shared lists you manage yourself, and don't need inbox-driven automation across expenses and trips
How big can a family group be in Yuki?
On Yuki Free, a group holds up to 2 people and you can have up to 5 groups. A family of three or more needs the member limit lifted, which Pro does, along with every other group limit; Pro starts with a 14-day trial that needs no card. Each family member keeps a private account, and nothing personal is shared just because someone is in the group.
What does Yuki track for a family's money?
Bills and subscriptions, with their renewal dates and a heads-up before you are charged, plus spending from the receipts in your inbox and shared expenses you can split and settle up. Cozi has no expense or subscription tracking.
What does Cozi cost?
Cozi has a free plan with ads. On cozi.com on 7 November 2026, Cozi Gold was $39 a year, removing ads and adding a month view on mobile, search, change notifications, a birthday tracker and Shopping Mode. Cozi Max, listed at $79 a year on the plan comparison and $79.99 on its own page, adds AI Event Import, which turns invitations in your inbox into events, plus an AI meal planner and recipe creator. Every plan covers the whole family.
Does Cozi sync with Google Calendar?
Only as a read-only link. Cozi's help page says Google, Apple and Outlook calendars connect through iCal links in a read-only format, in either direction, and that Google can take up to 48 hours to update. Yuki shows your Google Calendar events next to its own on every plan, and on Pro it can send a copy of a Yuki event to Google Calendar.
Give the family one calendar, one grocery list and one set of bills. Start free on iOS, Android or the web.
