Pricing
Two plans, priced per setting rather than per child
Pick the plan that covers your enrolment. Both include every feature, start with a 14-day trial, and never ask for a card to begin.
Start
For home daycares and childminders.
- Invoices, one-off charges, late fees
- Kiosk check-in with PIN and QR

- Staff accounts
Prices shown in EUR per month. Europe accounts are billed in EUR and US accounts in USD at these regional list prices, not converted at exchange rates. Applicable taxes and payment processing fees are separate. A subscription requires your confirmation in Stripe Checkout; a card-free trial never authorizes a charge.

Pricing questions
What happens when the trial ends?
A card-free trial never becomes a paid subscription by itself. To continue paid features, complete subscription Checkout from Settings. You see the amount before confirming a subscription; no payment method is authorized merely by creating an account.
What counts as an enrolled child?
A child marked active in your account. Children marked inactive, for example those who have left, do not count towards the plan limit.
Can I change plan later?
You choose a plan when you create your setting. Plan changes will be available once paid subscriptions are activated; until then, contact support if your enrolment grows past 25.
Why are euro and dollar prices the same number?
They are separate regional list prices, not conversions. Your account is billed in its own currency.
Are payment processing fees included?
No. When online payments go live, processing fees charged by the payment provider will be separate from the subscription.
Is there a discount for annual billing or several sites?
Not at the moment. DCare supports one setting per account and monthly plans only.
