Free to start · built in the UK
A free-to-start co-parenting app for UK families.
Co-parenting is hard enough without a subscription wall the moment you sign up. Start ParentGlow free during early access — and when it's time to pay, it's one fair price that covers both homes, not two separate subscriptions. Built in the UK, calm by design.
- Free during early access
- One plan — both homes
- Free data export, forever
Why people are switching
The apps you used for free aren't free anymore.
Several co-parenting apps families relied on have quietly moved behind paywalls — and the ones that still charge usually bill each parent separately, so a separated family pays twice.
ParentGlow does it differently: free to start, honest about what comes next, and one plan for both homes when it's time to pay. No surprises, no double bill.
How it helps
Everything in one calm place — and yours to keep.
The everyday tools of two homes, gathered into one calm place — built around UK family life, and free to start right now.
-
Everything in one calm place
A shared calendar both homes see — UK school terms, INSET days and bank holidays already in — plus handovers and the day-to-day, without the back-and-forth.
-
Calm by design
Tone Guard flags heated wording as you type, with a calmer version one tap away, and fair expense splitting in £ keeps money clear — receipts attached, a tidy monthly total.

Honest pricing
Free to start. One fair price after.
No free-forever promises we can't keep — just genuinely free to start, then the fairest price in UK co-parenting. One subscription covers both parents and the wider circle you choose to bring in.
When early access ends, families who join after that get a 30-day free trial instead, and one plan still covers both parents, never per-parent. Start paying in the founding window and you pay a lower founding price for your first months after the free period, then the standard price. It's time-limited, not a lasting discount, and families already in early access get it for longer on monthly billing (12 months, not six). We'll never pretend it's free forever; we'd rather be upfront and fair.

UK by default
Built around UK family life.
The words, the dates, the money and the paperwork already fit — so there's nothing to translate from an American app. It just works the way British families do.
-
The UK year, pre-loaded
School terms, INSET days and bank holidays are already in the calendar, so plans land around real UK life — not a US semester. Set your pattern once and term dates fall into place.
-
Money in pounds
School uniform, clubs, the trip, prescriptions — log it, split it and settle up in £, with receipts attached and a tidy monthly statement. No currency to convert, no awkwardness.
-
UK words and UK GDPR
Contact and child arrangements, never custody or visitation — and your family's data kept under UK GDPR, with export always free. NHS numbers, GP details and the things that matter, in one place both homes can reach.

Common questions
Honest answers about a free co-parenting app.
Is ParentGlow a free co-parenting app?
It's free to start: early-access families stay free until we say otherwise, and there is a 30-day free trial for families who join after early access ends. Families already in early access stay free until we tell them otherwise, then get a lower founding price for their first 12 months, before the standard £5.99 a month or £59.99 a year, and one plan covers both parents. Exporting your data is always free. We won't pretend it's free forever, but it's the fairest price in UK co-parenting.
What do I get for free right now?
Full early access to the app while we roll out across the UK, free — plus your data is always free to export. Join the early-access list and you'll get a hello now, the odd update while we build, and one email when it's your turn — unsubscribe in one click, any time.
Why isn't it free forever like some other apps?
A calm, private, UK-built app costs something to run and keep safe — and “free” apps often change the deal later (several have moved behind paywalls). We'd rather be upfront: free to start, then one honest price for both homes, with no per-parent charge and free data export.
How much is it, and does it cover both parents?
ParentGlow is free during early access. Families already in early access stay free until we tell them otherwise, then get a lower founding price for their first 12 months, before the standard £5.99 a month or £59.99 a year, and one plan covers both parents. Sitter links for grandparents and childminders cost nothing extra, and data export is always free. Start paying in the founding window and you pay a lower founding price for your first months after the free period, then the standard price; families already in early access get it for longer on monthly billing (12 months, not six).
