When Premium ends, the family continues with S’moresUp Free.
Core family data remains preserved.
The exact behavior of Premium-created controls is still being improved.
This article explains what is safe to expect today and what should not yet be promised.
What Is Preserved
The family keeps:
- Chores
- Chore history
- Wallet balances
- Rewards
- Calendar events
- Family profiles
- Account access
Moving to Free does not require rebuilding the family account.
What Is Not Fully Implemented Yet
The ideal downgrade behavior is:
- Map Premium settings to suitable Free behavior.
- Preserve the Premium configuration.
- Restore it after the family resubscribes.
That full behavior is still work in progress.
At this time, Premium controls do not consistently convert to Free equivalents.
Chore Types
Premium-only chore types include:
- Rotate
- Collaborate
- Compete
- Bonus chores
Free includes:
- Individual
- As Needed
Do not promise that Premium chore types automatically become Individual or As Needed.
Review affected chores after the plan changes.
Parent Approval and Photo Proof
Approval and Photo Proof are Premium-only.
The family’s chore history remains.
Do not promise that:
- Existing approval queues remain usable
- New occurrences keep Approval
- Existing photos remain available in the same way
- The controls automatically return after resubscription
Confirm current behavior in the app.
Lock and Late Penalty
Lock and Late Penalty require Premium.
After downgrade, the underlying chore remains associated with the family.
The deadline-control behavior may change.
Review time-sensitive chores so the family understands the new Free behavior.
Multiple Reminders
Free includes one reminder per chore.
Premium supports multiple reminders.
Do not promise which reminder remains after downgrade or whether extra reminders are automatically removed.
Review important reminder settings manually.
Custom Schedules
Custom X-times-per-period schedules are Premium-only.
Standard schedules remain available in Free.
Do not promise that a custom schedule automatically converts to a selected-day or weekly schedule.
Review each custom-scheduled chore.
S’mart Lists
S’mart Lists are Premium-only.
Do not promise that the list:
- Remains visible
- Becomes read-only
- Is restored automatically later
Keep important multi-step instructions in another family note if the chore is critical.
Reward Approval
Reward Approval is Premium-only.
The reward itself remains associated with the family.
Review whether it is still visible and how requests behave after the plan changes.
Selected Reward Days and Auto Refill
Selected-day reward availability and Auto Refill require Premium.
Do not promise that:
- The reward remains hidden on unavailable days
- Inventory continues to refill
- Existing settings are restored automatically
Review the Reward Shelf after downgrade.
Community
Turn off Community is Premium-only.
When Premium ends:
- Community becomes visible again
- Community notifications may resume
- Family Campfire remains available
Wallet and Spend
Wallet balances remain preserved.
On Free, earned S’mores go into Spend.
Automatic percentage allocation across Spend, Save, and Goal is not included in Free.
Review existing balances and future earnings separately.
Resubscription
The family can subscribe again.
Restoration of Premium settings is still being improved.
After resubscribing:
- Review Premium chore types.
- Check reminders.
- Check custom schedules.
- Review S’mart Lists.
- Review reward controls.
- Check Community preference.
Do not assume every setting returns automatically.
Recommended Preparation
Before Premium ends:
- Take screenshots of important chore settings
- Note custom schedule rules
- Copy critical S’mart List steps
- Review multiple reminders
- Record reward availability and refill settings
- Note Community preference
This makes later review easier.
