Kangarootime Per-Class Pricing

Kangarootime pricing model is simple: $8 per classroom per month. For directors budgeting software costs, this predictability is genuine value. You know exactly what you will pay based on your classroom count.

The model favors multi-room centers. A center with 8 classrooms and 120 children pays $64/month. On Brightwheel enrollment-based pricing, the same center would pay $400-$1,000+/month.

What the Price Includes and What It Does Not

Kangarootime $8/class covers attendance tracking, check-in/check-out, staff scheduling, parent communication, and billing. These are operational essentials and the pricing is competitive for what is included.

What is not included at any price: proactive ratio alerts and automated subsidy billing. These compliance features are not part of the Kangarootime platform.

PebbleDesk publishes flat-rate plans and shows $64.50/mo billed annually on the pricing page (for home providers) or $64.50/mo billed annually (for centers) with ratio alerts and subsidy tracking included at every tier.
