Feature Comparison
Their approach
Familia
Core model
Shared family calendar with lists, recipes, and organizer features.
A family planner for days that need more than a calendar: Today, Plans, tasks, reminders, responsibilities, attachments, and calendar context.
Tasks and responsibilities
To-do and chore lists are supported, with stronger list/calendar heritage.
Clear next actions, shared responsibilities, reminders, and follow-ups live in the same planning flow.
Attachments and context
Cozi FAQ says it does not support attaching images or files directly to events or lists.
Photos and attachments stay with the task or plan they explain, so the reminder still makes sense later.
Smart / AI features
Cozi Max includes AI Event Import, AI Recipe Creator, and AI Meal Planner.
Smart capture turns voice, text, and photos into useful family actions. Smart also supports compatible AI assistants through MCP.
AI assistant / MCP
