Cozi is a solid family organizer β but it was not built for au pair households. Here is where the two apps diverge.
Cozi helps families manage school events, meals, and chores β and it does that well. But when a host family coordinates with an au pair, the requirements go further: working hours tracking, secure document storage for visas and passports, task-linked messaging, and an interface the au pair can use in their own language. Cozi does not cover these needs.

Cozi is a good fit for families managing primarily school events, household chores, and meal planning. If you do not have an au pair and do not need purpose-built coordination features, Cozi is a proven choice.
AuPairSync was built specifically for au pair households. It includes working hours tracking, secure document storage (visas, passports, contracts), task-linked messaging, and an EnglishβGerman interface β all in one free app.
