Plannie vs Cozyla: the full comparison.
Both put a colour-coded family calendar, chores with rewards and a weekly meal plan on a kitchen screen. Cozyla builds it into an Android touchscreen from $199.99 that the whole family shares under one account; Plannie runs on the tablets and phones you already own, with a login for every member, at $99/year.

Cozyla prices and platform details from cozyla.com and its App Store listing, checked 18 September 2026. Sale prices were showing on several models that day; the figures above are list prices. In fairness, a Cozyla panel is an open Android tablet with Google Play; it works with Alexa and Google Home, and its two-way sync covers Apple and Yahoo calendars, which Plannie only reads as feeds.

Three things that matter on a Tuesday
The screen. Cozyla's pitch is the panel: an Android 14 touchscreen from 15.6 to 55 inches, two-way sync with Apple, Google, Outlook and Yahoo, and on the Calendar Plus line every core feature without a subscription. That is a real strength and the cheapest Plus 2 costs $349.99. Plannie starts from the other end. Any tablet you own becomes the family display in kiosk mode, and $99/year covers the whole household.
Who is signed in. Cozyla's support docs say the family logs into the Cozyla+ app with the same account. Each person gets a colour, but nobody gets their own login, their own notifications or a list that is theirs alone. In Plannie every member has an account. Personal mode on a phone shows that person's view and private lists; kiosk mode on the shared tablet shows everyone's, all under one plan.
What the assistant reads, and where the data goes. Cozyla's Smart Import takes a photo or a URL; email and PDF import are not documented. Plannie's Family Inbox gives the household its own email address, so a forwarded school schedule or a PDF becomes events under the right child, and everything the assistant adds is marked so you can check it. Cozyla's servers are in the United States and its policy allows transfers to China and Japan. Plannie is hosted in the EU with a Swedish data controller under the GDPR.
Choose Cozyla if…
You want a big Android touchscreen in the box, up to 32 inches on the Calendar Plus 2 or 55 on the Calendar Max Go, with two-way sync to Apple, Google, Outlook and Yahoo and no subscription on the Plus line. One shared family account suits you, and you like the idea of Google Play apps and Alexa or Google Home on the wall.
Choose Plannie if…
You would rather mount the tablet you already own and pay $99/year for everything. You want each member to have their own login, private lists and personal view on their phone, an inbox that turns school emails and PDFs into events, and data that stays in the EU.
Frequently asked
Is Cozyla worth it?+
If you want a large touchscreen in the box, yes, it is a fair deal. The 15.6-inch Calendar Plus 2 is $349.99 and ships with calendar, chores, rewards, meal planning and Smart Import with no subscription; the 32-inch is $1,099.99 at list. The catches: the family signs into the companion app with one shared account, and on the cheaper Calendar Neo line ($199.99) meals, rewards and Smart Import need Calendar Essential at $79.99/year. Plannie covers the same jobs on your own tablet for $99/year, with a separate login and private lists for each member.
Does Cozyla have a subscription?+
It depends on the panel. On the Calendar Plus line the core features are free forever and Calendar Super is optional at $69.99/year (an unlimited Cozyla Agent, Art Gallery and a Weekly Recap). On the Calendar Neo line the free tier is calendar, to-dos, chores and notes; rewards, habits, meal planning, the photo screensaver and Smart Import need Calendar Essential at $79.99/year or $7.99/month. The Routie kids' device has its own Routie Super at $59.99/year, included with Essential or Super. The App Store lists slightly different in-app prices, so check the one you would pay through.
Can Plannie replace a Cozyla calendar on the wall?+
Yes, on a tablet you already own. Switch it to kiosk mode and Plannie becomes a shared, always-on family display with everyone's days side by side and a screensaver when nobody is looking. The same $99/year covers personal mode on each member's phone, with their own view and their own notifications. What you will not get is a 24 or 32-inch panel; Plannie is only as big as the tablet you put on the wall.
Does Cozyla work without the device?+
Partly. The Cozyla+ app works on phones and tablets without a Cozyla display, according to its App Store listing. But Cozyla's support docs say family members sign into that app using the same account, so there is no per-member identity, and no private list or notification that reaches only one person. Plannie gives every member their own login under one household plan.
Which is cheaper over three years, Cozyla or Plannie?+
Plannie, on every Cozyla route. A 15.6-inch Calendar Plus 2 is $349.99 with no subscription; the 32-inch is $1,099.99 at list price. The Calendar Neo route is $199.99 for the panel plus three years of Calendar Essential at $79.99, $439.96 in total. Plannie Premium is $99/year, $297 over three years, with no hardware to buy or replace.
