Where each one falls short

FamilyAlbum

  • Subscriptions renew automatically every month or year and the first month free trial converts to a paid plan unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends

Ovia Parenting

  • The care team support is free to the member because an employer or health plan is paying, so full access depends on your employer offering it
  • Now operating as Ovia Health by Labcorp rather than independently, and the old ovuline.com address no longer resolves
  • Pricing is not published, since it is sold to employers and plans rather than to parents
