Famly review

Famly is one of the few established platforms that publishes US prices. Its pricing page uses a children slider: up to 30 children costs $49 a month, then the price steps to $79 up to 50, $99 up to 70, $119 up to 100, $139 up to 150, $159 up to 200 and $179 above that. Famly states the prices apply to centers across the United States and that there are no crazy contracts. The feature set covers automatic billing and reminders, auto payments, billing templates, finance reports and parent tax statements, plus simple payroll. Enrollment tools include waitlists, lead management and custom registration forms, and attendance covers sign in and out, automatic ratios and occupancy reports. Parents get an interactive newsfeed with photos, videos, daily activity logs and direct messages, and live translation and an AI writing assistant help staff write updates. Famly also offers a public API and professional development webinars. There is no free plan, and the payroll tool is basic, so it suits centers that already use a payroll provider or have a small team.
