New S’moresUp families receive 45 days of introductory Premium access.
No payment details are required to begin.
When introductory access ends, the family can continue with Free or purchase Premium.
Choose based on the tools the family actually uses.
Quick Start: Choose Based on Real Use
Ask:
- Do we use Rotate, Collaborate, Compete, or Bonus chores?
- Do Approval, Photo Proof, Lock, or Late Penalty reduce parent follow-up?
- Do multiple reminders or custom schedules solve a real problem?
- Do S’mart Lists make multi-step chores clearer?
- Do advanced reward controls matter to the family?
If the answer is mostly no, Free may be enough.
If several of these tools are part of the weekly system, Premium may be worth keeping.
S’moresUp Free
Free includes:
- Individual chores
- As Needed chores
- One reminder per chore
- Standard schedules
- S’mores
- Spend Wallet
- Reward Shelf
- Family Calendar
- Google Calendar sync
- Smart appliance integrations

- Parent Community access
On Free, earned S’mores go into Spend.
Automatic percentage allocation into Spend, Save, and Goal is not included in Free.
Free currently has no third-party advertising inside the app.

When Free Is a Good Fit
Free may be enough when:
- The family uses Individual and As Needed chores
- One reminder per chore works
- Standard schedules fit
- The family wants simple S’mores and rewards
- Approval and Photo Proof are not needed
- Shared turns can be managed without advanced chore types
- New earnings going into Spend fits the family
Free is not a failed introductory period.
It is the continuing S’moresUp plan for families that want the core system.
When Premium Is a Good Fit
Premium may help when:
- “Whose turn is it?” happens often
- Shared projects need Collaborate
- Optional Bonus chores work well
- Completion needs Approval or Photo Proof
- A real deadline needs Lock or Late Penalty
- One reminder is not enough
- A flexible frequency needs a custom schedule
- A chore needs a S’mart List
- Reward requests and inventory need more control
- A parent wants to hide Community
Premium should earn its place by reducing confusion or repeated parent work.
First 45 Days
The first 45 days are introductory Premium access.
They do not begin paid billing automatically.
Eligible families may receive extension options.
A paid subscription begins only after an adult completes a purchase.
Current Pricing
Monthly
- $7.99 per month through August 29, 2026
- $9.99 per month for new subscriptions beginning August 30, 2026
Limited annual offer
Eligible S’moresUp users may see:
- $79.99 for one year
- Available through August 30, 2026
The price and terms shown on the purchase screen control the transaction.
Regional prices and taxes may differ.
Legacy Prices
Eligible continuously active subscribers, including some $4.99 and $7.99 subscribers, keep their current rate under the current pricing policy.
Canceling, allowing the subscription to end, or resubscribing after a gap moves the family to the current price.
This is not an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
What Happens When Premium Ends?
The family continues on Free.
Current product behavior preserves:
- Chores
- History
- Wallet balances
- Rewards
- Calendar events
- Family account access
Premium-created controls do not yet consistently map to Free equivalents.
Community becomes visible again if it was turned off through Premium.
TeenSpirit
TeenSpirit may be available as separate family support for both Free and Premium families.
It is not a Premium differentiator and is not part of the S’moresUp feature comparison on this page.

Can we subscribe later?
Yes.
Does Free include As Needed?
Yes.
Does Free include automatic Spend, Save, and Goal allocation?
