Pricing questions.
- Does my co-parent have to pay anything?
- No. The inviting parent's subscription covers both. Your co-parent gets the invitation, creates an account, and uses the full app at no charge.
- What if my co-parent refuses to install the app?
- Add SMS Relay for $7/month. They keep their normal phone number and texting habits. You keep yours. CoPa sits in the middle and captures every message to a shared record. You can switch off SMS Relay at any time if your co-parent ever changes their mind and installs the app.
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes — 30 days, full access to the family plan, no credit card required upfront. We'll ask for payment details before the trial ends so there's no service interruption if you continue.
- What happens if I cancel?
- You can export your full record at any time. After cancellation, your data stays available in a read-only state for 90 days. You can reactivate any time during that window without losing anything. After 90 days, the data is permanently deleted.
- What happens to my SMS Relay number if I cancel?
- The number is quarantined for 180 days before being recycled. We don't reuse a relayed number quickly because of the sensitive context that may have flowed through it.
- Are there hidden fees?
- No. The family plan covers everything except SMS Relay, which is clearly marked as an optional add-on. No per-message charges, no storage tiers, no premium-only features.
- What payment methods do you accept?
- Stripe handles billing. All major credit and debit cards. Apple Pay and Google Pay are supported. We don't accept cryptocurrency, gift cards, or PayPal.
- Do you offer discounts for legal aid clients or financial hardship?
- Yes. We have a hardship policy: a 50% reduction or full waiver depending on circumstance. Email [email protected] with a short note about your situation. We don't ask for documentation; we trust people to ask honestly.
- Can I pay annually?
- Yes — $140/year, two months free compared to monthly. Renewal is automatic; you can switch to monthly at any time.
- Do you offer family plans for parenting coordinators or therapists managing multiple cases?
- Family plans are tied to a single co-parenting unit. For professionals managing multiple families, see the attorney portal, which is free.
