Cozi Family Organizer

  • The free version carries advertising, and removing it requires Cozi Gold at $39
  • Calendar search is a paid feature, so the free version cannot search its own calendar
  • Free accounts are limited to one reminder per event, against three on Gold
  • Month view on mobile, the birthday tracker and change notifications are all behind Gold
