It’s a Family Thing! has different plan levels so families can choose the amount of support they need.
The right plan depends on your family’s stage, how much help you want from the app, and whether you need simple routines, more control, or smarter guidance.
This page explains the difference in plain language. For current prices, always check the app or checkout page.
A simple way to choose
Ask yourself:
- Do we need a simple shared routine?
- Do we need more structure and parent controls?
- Do we want smart help and guidance from Frankie AI?
Your answer will point you toward Starter, SuperFamily, or SmartFamily.
Starter
Starter is for families who want a simple way to begin.
Choose Starter if you want to:
- Set up a basic family routine.
- Track a few tasks.
- Help kids know what needs to happen.
- Start with a lighter system.
- Avoid overbuilding.
Starter is a good fit when your family is new to the app or you want to test whether a simple routine helps.
Starter is best for
- Families starting from scratch.
- Families who want fewer reminders.
- Parents who want to make tasks more visible.
- Small households with simple routines.
- Families trying the app for the first time.
Good first goal on Starter
Set up 5 to 7 tasks and one reminder. Use it for a week and see what gets lighter.
SuperFamily
SuperFamily is for families who need more structure, accountability, and control.
Choose SuperFamily if you want to:
- Use stronger task settings.
- Add proof or approval where needed.
- Create more detailed routines.
- Support multiple family members.
- Add more structure around reminders, tasks, and progress.
- Make responsibilities clearer.
SuperFamily is a good fit when your family already knows the basics but needs better follow-through.
SuperFamily is best for
- Families with multiple kids.
- Families sharing tasks across adults and kids.
- Families who need approval or accountability.
- Families using more reminders.
- Families who want the app to support more of the daily routine.
Good first goal on SuperFamily
Pick one routine that causes stress, such as mornings or evenings. Add clear tasks, one reminder, and approval only where it truly helps.
SmartFamily
SmartFamily is for families who want more guidance and smart support.
Choose SmartFamily if you want help thinking through:
- What to adjust.
- Which task is causing friction.
- How to keep the routine going.
- How to make chores clearer.
- How to reduce the parent’s mental load.
- How to use Frankie AI for family support.
SmartFamily is a good fit when you want the app to do more than track tasks. You want it to help your family understand what is working and what to try next.
SmartFamily is best for
- Families who want more guidance.
- Parents who feel overloaded.
- Families trying to build long-term routines.
- Families who want AI-supported suggestions.
- Families who want help adjusting the system over time.
Good first goal on SmartFamily
Use the app to review what is working, notice what is still heavy, and adjust one thing each week.

How to decide as a family
Talk about what you need most right now.
Ask:
- Are we trying to get started?
- Are we trying to reduce reminders?
- Are we trying to share the load with another adult?
- Are we trying to help kids become more independent?
- Are we trying to get better guidance on what to change?
The best plan is the one that supports your current need.
You can start small
You do not need to choose the biggest plan first.
Many families do best when they:
- Start with a small routine.
- Notice what is working.
- Add more support only when needed.
