Comparison

Family Stork vs Cozi:
scheduling vs. the actual records.

Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use. Cozi asks: "When is the dentist appointment?" Family Stork asks: "Where is everything the dentist found — and what did every other provider say?" Both matter. Here's what each one actually does.

The Core Difference

Family calendar vs. health timeline

Cozi is a family organizer built around shared scheduling. It coordinates who is going where — practices, school events, dentist appointments, vacations — and makes sure everyone in the family sees the same calendar. It's excellent at keeping a busy household moving in the same direction.

Family Stork is a lifelong health timeline for each person in your family. It holds the health records themselves — every checkup, vaccine, lab result, growth measurement, allergy, and medication — from every provider, from birth. When your child's clinic emails a visit summary to their private @familystork address, it files itself. No uploads, no portal logins.

Cozi can remind you that the pediatrician appointment is Thursday. Family Stork holds what the pediatrician found.

In short: Cozi tells you when the appointment is. Family Stork holds everything that came out of it.

FAMILY STORK

Lifelong health timeline

One child, one record. Every checkup, vaccine, allergy, growth measurement, and lab result on one chronological timeline — from birth.

Ask questions. "When was her last flu shot?" Grounded answers from your child's actual data.

Emergency card. Shareable, printable — medications and allergies for any care team, revocable anytime.

Ownership at 18. The record transfers to your child at adulthood.

$99/year — or about $10 a month.

The Gap in Scheduling Tools

The appointment is in Cozi. The record isn't anywhere.

This is the moment most parents recognize: you booked the 4-year checkup months ago and Cozi reminded you. You showed up. The pediatrician noted a new food allergy, updated the growth chart, and gave two vaccines. Two weeks later someone asks what vaccines your child is up to date on — and the Cozi calendar says "4yr checkup" with no details.

Scheduling tools capture the event. Health timelines capture the record. Both pieces matter; one disappears without the other.

Family Stork is where the record lives. Give your child's @familystork address to the pediatrician — they email the visit summary, it files automatically, and "4yr checkup" becomes a permanent, searchable entry in your child's timeline alongside every other provider who has ever seen them.

When You'd Use Each

Scenarios that make the difference clear

📅

"I need to schedule the 18-month checkup and make sure everyone knows."

Cozi. Add it to the shared calendar, color-code it, set a reminder. Everyone sees it.

"School needs immunization records by Friday."

Family Stork. Open the timeline, find every vaccine date from every provider, share or print the record. No calling three clinics.

📅

"Who is driving to soccer? And when does the dentist appointment overlap with practice?"

Cozi. The shared family calendar surfaces the conflict at a glance.

📋

"The allergist wants to know every reaction my son has had since age two."

Family Stork. Every recorded allergy and reaction on the timeline — from the ER, the pediatrician, and the specialist — in one place, ready to share.

📅

"We need a grocery list and everyone's after-school schedule in one app."

Cozi. Lists, calendar, and coordination in one family hub.

📋

"We're moving and the new pediatrician needs our daughter's full history."

Family Stork. The timeline travels with her. Share it with the new provider — no faxes, no gaps, no starting over.

The bottom line

Cozi and Family Stork solve different problems that often appear together. Cozi coordinates who is going to the appointment and makes sure the family calendar reflects it. Family Stork holds what happened at the appointment — and every appointment before it, from every provider.

Most families who use both describe it the same way: Cozi runs the household. Family Stork keeps the health story whole.

Ask yourself: if your child's new school needs their immunization records next week, do you know exactly where they are? Family Stork makes that a one-tap answer.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Cozi and Family Stork together?

Yes. Cozi handles family scheduling — who goes where and when. Family Stork holds the health records from each visit. They serve different purposes and work well alongside each other.

Does Cozi store health records or vaccine information?

Cozi stores appointment events in a shared family calendar, along with lists and notes. It does not hold medical records, vaccination dates, lab results, or growth charts. Family Stork is built specifically for that layer of information.

Is Cozi free?

Cozi has a free tier. Family Stork is $99 per year — or about $10 a month — for a lifelong health timeline that receives records from clinics automatically via your child's private @familystork email address.

What if my child sees multiple doctors?

Cozi can track appointments with multiple providers on one shared calendar. Family Stork collects the records from all of them — you give each clinic your child's @familystork address, and every visit summary arrives in one timeline automatically. Your child's health story stays complete even when their care team is spread across multiple practices.
