Honest comparison
ParentGlow vs 2houses
2houses is a solid, budget co-parenting organiser used by families around the world — and, like us, it covers the whole family on one plan. So why consider ParentGlow? If you're a UK family who wants your own family-law language, court-ready records if you ever need them, and a slightly lower price, here's an honest side-by-side — including where 2houses still fits.
- One plan — both homes
- Free data export, forever
- UK-native & GDPR-first
The short version
Is there a UK alternative to 2houses?
Yes — there’s a UK-built alternative. ParentGlow and 2houses both cover the whole family on a single plan, so this isn’t a “you pay twice” story — it’s about fit.
At the standard price, ParentGlow costs £5.99/mo or £59.99 a year for the whole family, and early families get a founding price first, versus 2houses’ £99/yr (£8.25/mo billed annually; checked 22 October 2026). The bigger difference is that ParentGlow is built for the UK: it speaks UK family law (child arrangements, contact, PD 27A, not US “custody”), keeps tamper-evident, court-ready records, and your data exports are always free. 2houses is a clean international generalist, fair and affordable if UK legal framing doesn’t matter to you. More below.

Credit where it's due
Where 2houses fits.
Credit where it's due. 2houses has an established international base, works in multiple languages, and is a clean, budget shared organiser — with the same fair, one-plan-per-family pricing we believe in. If you want a no-frills shared organiser — calendar, expenses, messaging, journal, albums and an info bank — and UK legal framing simply doesn't matter to you, it's a fair, affordable pick.
For UK families
Where ParentGlow is built differently.
We share the same fair pricing — one plan for the whole family. The difference is that ParentGlow is built for a UK family day to day: your own language, court-ready if you ever need it, your data yours to keep.
-
UK family life, not an international template
Your own language — contact, child arrangements, parental responsibility — plus £, NHS numbers and UK school terms in the shared calendar, built in from the start.
-
Court-ready if you ever need it
Tamper-evident (SHA-256), court-ready records and Tone Guard to flag heated wording, with a calmer version one tap away — the heavier court and tone tooling 2houses doesn’t carry.
-
Your data is yours — and a little cheaper
Free, full export forever, no lock-in — and at £59.99/yr on the annual plan against 2houses’ £99/yr. The records you build stay yours to take with you.
ParentGlow isn't legal-advice software — it speaks your language and keeps a fair record, so you'd walk in prepared, not panicking.

Is ParentGlow cheaper than 2houses?
