Neztio vs Procare
Procare has been the industry standard for decades. But legacy software comes with legacy trade-offs that modern centers should not have to accept.
One system, one source of truth. No sync headaches.
Why directors are switching
We built Neztio as parents who saw these problems firsthand. Directors shaped every feature.
No desktop installs, no IT headaches
Neztio is cloud-native. No server to manage, no desktop app to update, no data sync issues between systems. Everything works from your browser.
See the price before you buy
Neztio pricing is published online. No sales calls, no custom quotes, no surprises down the road. Start free with the Starter plan.
Your staff can use it on day one
No formal training, no steep learning curve. The interface is intuitive enough that new staff can start without a manual.
Sound familiar?
These are real frustrations from childcare directors dealing with legacy software.
Stop entering data in two places
When your desktop system does not sync with your cloud app, you end up with duplicate data entry and conflicting records. One system should be enough.
Stop waiting hours for support
When something breaks during drop-off, you need help now. Not a 45-minute hold queue. Not a chatbot. A real person.
Stop dreading renewal pricing
Unexpected price increases at renewal time should not be the norm. You deserve to know what you will pay next year.
Stop training staff on complex software
If your software requires formal training before staff can use it, the problem is the software, not your staff.
Stop paying enterprise prices for CACFP and menu planning
Procare includes CACFP in their enterprise tier, which starts above $200/month and requires a sales call. Neztio includes full CACFP tracking with menu planning, allergen warnings, and claim generation in every plan, self-serve.

Yes. Neztio offers the same core functionality (attendance, billing, parent communication, enrollment) in a modern cloud-native platform. No desktop installs, no complex setup, no opaque pricing.
How is Neztio different from Procare?
Neztio is built cloud-first with a modern interface that requires no training. Pricing is transparent and published online. You can sign up and start a trial without talking to a sales team. Procare has desktop roots and typically requires a demo and custom quote.

Does Neztio work for large centers?
Yes. Neztio supports centers of all sizes with flat per-center pricing. The Pro plan includes multi-site management for organizations with up to 3 locations.
Is Procare pricing publicly available?
Procare does not publish pricing on their website. You typically need to request a demo and get a custom quote. Neztio publishes all pricing at neztio.com/pricing, with a Free Starter plan for home daycares with up to 15 children.
