Verdict at a glance

Recommended for

Co-parents who want every feature, including call recording, at one low price.

Bottom line

A strong value when parents can choose their app. Subscribe on the web or prepay to get the lowest price, and use the signed records rather than journal notes for anything that may matter later.

A low-cost, single-plan co-parenting app with messaging, unlimited calls and call recording, a calendar, requests, expenses and reimbursements, an AI tone tool and exportable records that are digitally signed. $7.99/month on the web, $8.99 in-app, or prepaid at $83.88 a year or $143.76 for two years, with a 60-day free trial.

Not for

Families whose agreement names a different app, or who only need a shared calendar.

What does AppClose actually do?#

Per its pricing page, every subscriber gets:

  • Secure messaging with attachments, search and bookmarks.
  • Unlimited calls with optional call recording, with no minute limits.
  • Calendar, requests, expenses and reimbursements between parents.
  • Co-Parent Assist, a built-in AI tool that reviews draft messages and offers optional suggestions.
  • Co-Parent Hub for shared information such as contacts and medical details, with control over what's shared.
  • Circles for parents managing more than one co-parenting arrangement.
  • Records export without export fees.

AppClose says it shows no ads and never sells user information.

How much does AppClose cost?#

AppClose pricing (appclose.com/pricing, checked 2026-10-15)

AppClose runs a fee waiver program for parents with financial hardship and survivors of domestic violence, and a military discount. AppClose reports giving more than 26,450 free hardship accounts since January 1, 2026.

How do AppClose records work?#

AppClose says US users get unlimited certified electronic business records. They are digitally signed by its custodian of records, so anyone can open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Reader and confirm it hasn't changed since signing, without contacting AppClose. It also says it provides a business records affidavit at no charge in response to a proper subpoena.

How hard is AppClose to set up?#

Low. Create an account, add your co-parent from the app, and they get an invite link to join. The calendar can sync with a personal calendar.

Buyer tips#

  1. Start with the 60-day trial to see whether both parents will use it.
  2. Subscribe on the web or prepay for the lowest price.
  3. Ask about the fee waiver if cost is a barrier.
  4. Check the agreement or order first, in case it names a specific app.
