KudoKids For parents of kids 3–12

The screen-time problem

You already gave
them the screen.
You just want it to count.

Your kid is on a screen more than you'd like — and the hard part isn't taking it away. It's finding something worth handing them instead.

KudoKids How it works

How it works

Kids earn their screen time.

They do real things — routines, tasks, responsibilities — and earn Kudo Coins. In your parent dashboard you decide what those coins buy in off-app screen time, so kids can only cash in the time you've already okayed. Say yes without the guilt.

1

Do the thing

Finish a routine or task you set up.

2

Earn coins

Real effort earns Kudo Coins in the app.

3

Redeem time

Trade coins for screen time you allow.

KudoKids Safety & privacy

Safe by design

Built to earn your trust.

✓We never show ads in the app. No banners, no "watch an ad to earn coins" deals. YouTube or sites you approve can show their own.
✓We never sell your child's data. Not to advertisers, not to anyone.
✓Friends stay off until you turn them on. When you do, you choose whether you approve each new friend. Accepted friends' families see your child's friend card (things like their name, streak and companion).
✓Your child can't spend real money. Only a parent can buy Premium.

✓ A dashboard you can see into

Approvals, progress, and screen-time settings all live with you — visibility without hovering, and you decide which tasks need your sign-off before they pay out.

★ Recommended by experts

Recommended by child-development experts. Separately, our design was informed by input from child and family therapists — they shaped how routines, rewards and the daily check-in work, and have not endorsed KudoKids.

Built by a parent and founder-funded — no outside investors deciding what your kid sees.

KudoKids Honest answers

The two questions you're asking

The honest answers.

"Isn't this just more screen time?"

It's screen time your kid has to earn — and you set what the coins are worth, so they run out. Trade them for a set amount of off-app screen time you're fine with, or real-world rewards like a park trip — your call. Either way it's finite, so kids earn, spend, and step away.

"What does it cost?"

Nothing to start — no card. The free plan includes routines, the full library of games, and your first companion. Premium adds the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras kids unlock with earned coins, plus KudoKids AI, a parent-only assistant. Premium on the web: $11.99/month or $99.99/year (app-store prices may differ).
