Roughly 5 to 13 — but the better test is whether they have a debit card yet. Money Buckets is built for the stretch before one, when money is still something a kid can see and count, and every choice about it can be a conversation. Younger kids start with the three buckets and simple chores; older ones grow into the Wish Farm and the Business Simulator. When a card does come, the habits they built here go with them.
Free is the trial, and it doesn't end. Use Money Buckets with one kid for as long as you like, with no card on file. Upgrade when the rest of the family wants in.
Yes. Switch back to Free from the Plan page in the app. You keep everything in Pro until the end of the month or year you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again. We don't refund partial periods.
Nothing is deleted. Your first kid stays fully active. Any others are kept exactly as they were, balances and history included, but read-only until you upgrade again. Wish Farm and Power Hour pause the same way, and your wishes and Power Hour history stay put.
For as long as Money Buckets is offered, you have Pro without paying again. It belongs to your account and can't be transferred. Only 50 Founder seats will ever be sold. If you're on a subscription when you buy it, the subscription simply ends at its next renewal date, so you never pay twice for the same month.
Stripe. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach Money Buckets. We keep only what your plan is and when it renews.
No, and it never will. Your subscription is the only payment in the product. Your kids' balances are a ledger of money you settle in real life. The app never connects to a bank account or card on their behalf.
Set up the system in a few minutes. Then get out of the way.
