Common questions
Is the Starter plan really free?
Yes. Starter is free forever for home daycares with up to 15 children. No credit card required, no time limit. When you're ready for staff accounts, custom forms, or advanced features, upgrade to a paid plan.
What happens when my free trial ends?
Paid plans include a full-access 30-day free trial, no credit card required. When it ends, choose the plan that fits your center. If you don't choose one, your account moves to the free Starter plan. Nothing is deleted: your classrooms, children and records stay, and you can upgrade anytime. Features that are only in paid plans turn off until you upgrade.
Can I change plans later?
Absolutely. Upgrade or downgrade at any time from your Settings page. Changes take effect on your next billing cycle.
Do you charge per child or per staff member?
No. Pricing is a flat monthly rate per center. The Starter plan supports up to 15 children. Standard and above have no child limit. No per-child fees, no per-staff surcharges, no hidden costs. Online payments have a stated Neztio transaction fee plus Stripe processing fees.
Are there fees on online payments?
Yes, and they are stated up front. On Starter, Neztio charges 0.5% per invoice paid online, capped at $5 for cards and $1 for bank transfers. On Standard, Growth and Pro, it is $0.50 per invoice paid by card and $0.25 per invoice paid by bank transfer. Stripe's processing fees are separate. Recording cash or check payments is free.
What if I have more than 3 locations?
Each center gets its own subscription. The Pro plan includes multi-site management tools to oversee up to 3 locations from one dashboard. Need more? Contact us for multi-location pricing.
Will pricing go up?
Pricing for new customers may increase as we add more features and capabilities. But your rate is locked in as long as you stay on your plan. Sign up today and your price stays the same.
How much does childcare management software cost?
Childcare management software typically ranges from free to $500+ per month. Many providers charge per-child fees that increase your bill as enrollment grows. Neztio offers a free Starter plan for home daycares, with paid plans starting at $79/month that include unlimited children and no per-child surcharges.
Is there free childcare management software?
Yes. Neztio offers a free Starter plan that includes attendance tracking, parent messaging, QR check-in, and a native parent app for up to 15 children. It is free forever with no credit card required, making it ideal for home daycare providers who need professional tools without the cost.
Why do some childcare apps charge per child?
Per-child pricing is a legacy model that ties your software cost to enrollment size. This means the more successful your center is, the higher your bill. Neztio uses flat per-center pricing instead, so your cost stays the same whether you have 20 children or 120.
What's included in Neztio's free plan?
Neztio's free Starter plan includes attendance tracking, QR code check-in and check-out, parent messaging, daily reports, tuition billing with online payments, a native iOS and Android parent app, and digital records for up to 15 children. There is no credit card required and no time limit. Upgrade to a paid plan when you need staff accounts, custom forms, or the full AI suite.
Not sure which plan is right?
