What is OurFamilyWizard

Why Gastos Compartidos might be the better choice for you

Native Spanish, not a translation

Gastos Compartidos was designed from the start in Spanish. The interface, messages, support, and documentation are in Spanish. It's not a translated English product: the terminology, categories, and workflows are designed for the Latin American context.

Affordable pricing in local currency

OurFamilyWizard charges an annual subscription in US dollars, which in local currency represents a significant cost. Gastos Compartidos has a free plan with complete functionality and paid plans in local currency.

Focused on what matters most: expenses

OurFamilyWizard includes calendar, messaging, and visit tracking. If you only need to record shared expenses transparently, all that extra complexity may be unnecessary. Gastos Compartidos specializes in expenses: recording, balances, observations, and verifiable documentation.

Observations and extraordinary expense proposals

Features that OurFamilyWizard doesn't offer. Observations let you flag disagreement about an expense without deleting it. Extraordinary expense proposals let you agree before spending. Both features are fundamental to reducing financial friction.

Artificial intelligence assistant

Gastos Compartidos includes an AI assistant that helps users with questions about their expenses, balances, and platform features.

Read-only professional access

Mediators, lawyers, and psychologists can access with explicit user permission, in read-only mode, to verify records and export reports. Everything with consent and traceability.

When OurFamilyWizard makes sense

If you're in the US or Canada

OurFamilyWizard is integrated with the legal systems of those countries. Some courts recommend it directly. If your case is in that jurisdiction, it may be the right option.

If you need calendar + messaging + expenses integrated

If your situation requires coordinating visits, communicating through the platform, and also recording expenses, OurFamilyWizard's integration is convenient. Gastos Compartidos focuses on expenses, not the other areas.

If you're in Latin America, Gastos Compartidos is the natural alternative

Native Spanish, local currency pricing, features adapted to the regional context, and a free plan to get started with no commitment.

Exclusive features of Gastos Compartidos

Observations on expenses

When there's disagreement about an expense, an observation is added. The expense isn't deleted or modified. The observation stays visible to both parties and to any professional with access. It's a formal signaling mechanism that reduces friction.

Extraordinary expense proposals

Before making an extraordinary expense (orthodontics, school trip, camp), it's proposed to the other party. They accept or add an observation. Only then is it recorded. Everything is documented with prior approval.

Monthly cycles with automatic settlement

Each month, the system calculates who compensates whom and by how much. The payment is recorded, the cycle closes, and it's documented. No back-and-forth about calculations.
