A free family resource that isn't a sales funnel.
Safe screen time for kids 3–12 that instills growth — free for every family, with no ads shown to kids and no child data sold. There's nothing for your PTA or PTO to buy, host, or endorse, so you can share it like a library flyer, not a fundraiser.
Tasks, Coins, Games — That's the Loop
Parents set routines and tasks
Chores, reading goals, wellness habits — configured once.
Kids earn Kudo Coins
Completed tasks earn coins. Educational games earn them back.
Screen time self-regulates
Fun games cost coins. No timers, no fights — kids budget themselves.
Free plan available for families — tasks, games, wellness tools, and the parent dashboard cost nothing.
What You're Recommending
You vet everything that goes home and your name is on it, so a "free" resource that quietly becomes an upsell aimed at kids is exactly what you screen out. KudoKids is different where it counts: the free plan is the whole app, families sign up directly with nothing for the school to sign, and there's no financial relationship for you to disclose — so you can share it like a library flyer, not a fundraiser.
It passes the test that "free at school" apps usually fail
The pattern you've learned to distrust — free for families, then ads and upgrade nags aimed at the kids — is exactly what KudoKids is built against. Children see no advertising, can't chat with strangers, and their data is never sold. There's no AI on kids' screens, just carefully designed play. And you don't have to take our word for it: open a free account and check every line yourself.
The free plan is the whole app, so it belongs in a newsletter — not on a budget line
Free Explorer includes the routines and tasks, the full library of games, the wellness tools, the parent dashboard, and a first companion — Cosmo, the astronaut kid. Premium ($11.99/mo or $99/yr) is a parent-side choice that unlocks the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras; it never walls off the learning and it's never pitched inside a child's game. Families sign up directly at kudokids.org — no student data, no procurement, nothing for the school to sign, and nothing for next year's board to hand off.

Common Questions
Yes, because we don't ask you to endorse anything. Share it the way you'd share library story time: as information about a free family resource. No PTA or PTO name goes on anything, no endorsement is needed, and there's nothing anyone has to buy to use it.
Premium exists — $11.99/mo or $99/yr — and we say so up front. But the free plan isn't a teaser: it's the whole app minus the other themed worlds, companions, backgrounds, and companion looks and extras, and it stays that way. The upgrade conversation happens with parents, never inside a child's game. KudoKids is founder-funded, with a stated commitment to keep the core app free for every family.
There's no school integration, so there's no student data to grab in the first place. Families create their own accounts directly with KudoKids. No ads are shown to kids, there's no contact with strangers, and children's data is never sold.
There's nothing to administer and nothing to hand off. No PTA account, no contract, no renewal. Each family's relationship is directly with KudoKids, so the next board can re-share it or not — the transition binder stays light.
Honest answer: some families who love the free app eventually choose Premium. Your group earns nothing and owes nothing — community partners have no financial relationship with us, which is exactly what keeps your optics clean. There's no affiliate link and nothing for you to disclose.
It's live in early access, so the big review pipelines are still catching up. What's true today: it's recommended by child-development experts, therapists recommend it to families they work with, and early-access families love it. The safety practices are stated plainly enough to check yourself in minutes, and we'll hand you a one-page facts sheet for your file.
