Parents set routines and tasks
Chores, reading goals, wellness habits — configured once.
Kids earn Kudo Coins

Free plan available for families — tasks, games, wellness tools, and the parent dashboard cost nothing.
What You're Recommending
You already sell parents the same promise KudoKids does — confidence, focus, and follow-through built through effort. KudoKids keeps that effort-first lesson going in the 167 hours after class: safe screen time for kids 3–12 that instills growth, free for every family in your lobby.
It picks up where your class leaves off
The focus and follow-through you build in one hour a week erode in the unstructured screen hours at home. KudoKids restructures those hours around the same lesson you teach on the mat: effort first, reward after. Parents set the week's routines and tasks, kids earn Kudo Coins by finishing them, and parents decide what the coins buy — including off-app screen time they configure. The screen stops undoing your work and starts reinforcing it.
Zero-risk to put your name behind
Your recommendation is your reputation, so it cannot come with a catch. The free Explorer plan is the whole core product — routines and tasks, the full library of games, the parent dashboard, and Cosmo, the first companion. Nothing has to be bought for your recommendation to be true. Premium ($11.99/mo or $99/yr) only adds the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras — a place for kids to spend the coins they earn, so those coins do not all become screen time or rewards parents have to invent.
Nothing to teach, stock, or license
You already wear every hat — this adds no curriculum, no inventory, and no class time. Your families are in your lobby two or three times a week; one poster with the QR code from your partner link is the whole install. Families scan it, sign up in minutes, and start at home. There is no integration, no procurement, and no student data changes hands — and if it ever takes more effort than that, you can simply stop.
Share KudoKids. We'll Invest in Your Mission.
Every Impact Partner gets a free Premium account, Premium passes to share with families, a tracked link, and the full creative asset kit. You can also direct a marketing impact fee to a 501(c)(3) of your choice — KudoKids allocates it from its marketing budget when families you refer upgrade to Premium.
Impact Partner — the Default
Most partners join to make an impact, not to earn income. As an Impact Partner, you share KudoKids because you believe in it. No financial relationship, no disclosures required — just a free Premium account, Premium passes to give families, and the satisfaction of connecting children with a platform that builds real skills.
Direct a Marketing Impact Fee to a 501(c)(3)
When families you refer upgrade to Premium, KudoKids allocates a portion of its marketing budget as an impact fee — paid directly to a 501(c)(3) of your choice. You don't receive income. The organization receives a direct payment from KudoKids. It's not a donation — it's a business fee we direct toward causes our partners care about.

Earn 20–25% recurring commission for every family that upgrades to Premium — paid via Stripe Connect, NET 30. Rates start at 20% and scale to 25% with referral volume.

Common Questions
KudoKids doesn't add screen time; it restructures the screen time kids already have. Kudo Coins are earned through real-world routines first, and parents can make device time itself something kids earn. It's the difference between screens that undo your work in class and screens that reinforce it.
The core app is genuinely free with no trial cliff, so your recommendation stands on its own — no family has to spend a dime for it to hold up. A commission only exists when a family chooses Premium, and we ask you to disclose the partnership plainly. One straight line protects the trust that makes your recommendation worth anything.
20% recurring to start — scaling to 25% with referral volume — on every referred Premium subscription for 12 months from their first payment, paid automatically through Stripe Connect (NET 30, minimum payout $25). It's standard taxable income — you'll receive a 1099 at year-end if applicable, same as any freelance income.
Yes — it's required by the FTC and by your partner agreement. Any post, email, or lobby sign that promotes KudoKids needs a plain disclosure that you're a paid partner. A single honest line does it, and it's the same disclosure that keeps your families trusting your recommendation.
No procurement, no contracts, and no student data. Families scan the QR code from your partner link, sign up directly in minutes, and use the core app free. There's nothing to integrate on your end.
It's live in early access now on web, iOS, and Android, with a growing library of games, themed worlds, and twenty companions. Commission is paid through Stripe Connect, not promises. KudoKids is founder-funded with no VC, and the model deliberately keeps the core app free for families. The honest boundary: it's early access, and we say so.
