One price, everything in it

The long answers
Written the way we'd say it to you rather than the way a policy page would.
Ask us anything- What does "free while we're in beta" mean?
- Nobody pays while we're in beta and no card is on file. We'll email you a month before that changes. Families who subscribe within a year of the day beta ends keep $49 a year for as long as they stay subscribed.
- What happens if we stop paying, later on?
- The plan is that the app goes read-only: nothing is deleted, your kids notice nothing, and you can download everything whenever you like. The Terms promise that we email every household before anything about access changes, and we will publish the exact rules before anyone is asked to pay.
- Why won't I be able to pay in the app?
- Because an app that sells to you is an app that nags. Billing will live on cubbyjar.com, so the app has no paywall, no upgrade banner and nothing for a kid to stumble into.
- Do you sell my family's data?
- No. The subscription will be the whole business model, which is the point of charging for it. No ads, no data brokers, no third-party analytics, and nothing aimed at your kids.
