Cozi is proven and complete: shared calendar, lists, meal planner and a recipe box. The free tier is enough for many families, and it has a large user base.
Planninn is ad-free by default, stores your data in the EU and keeps the interface calm. You get tasks and groceries with no upsell, plus team planning for clubs — for a flat €19.99 a year instead of ads or a Gold subscription.
In the US and happy with an ad-supported free app? Cozi is fine. Want an ad-free, EU-based app with the same features at a flat low price? Look at Planninn.
