Every new S’moresUp family gets time to try the Premium chore system during the first 45 days.

When the trial ends, you can keep using S’moresUp Free or continue with Premium. Your choice should be based on the tools your family actually uses—not the number of features on a list.

Free gives you a practical way to organize chores and rewards. Premium adds more ways to schedule, rotate, review, and customize the system.

Quick Start: Choose Based on Real Use

Ask three questions:

1. Are we using advanced chore types such as Rotate, Collaborate, or Compete?
2. Are Parent Approval, Photo Proof, advanced reminders, or scheduling helping us?
3. Would losing those tools make the family system harder to manage?

If the answer is no, Free may be enough.

If the answer is yes, Premium may be worth keeping.

S’moresUp Free

S’moresUp Free is for families that want the core chores-and-rewards experience.

It includes the ability to keep a family system with:

• Unlimited family members
• Unlimited chores
• Core chore assignments
• Basic scheduling
• Basic S’mores and rewards
• Family profiles
• Campfire for household communication
• TeenSpirit access

Free is a good fit when your family wants a clear list of chores, simple rewards, and a place to see what needs to happen.

S’moresUp Premium

Premium includes the core experience plus advanced tools for families that need more flexibility and follow-through.

Premium includes features such as:

• Advanced chore types
• Rotate chores
• Collaborate chores
• Compete chores
• As Needed and Bonus options
• Advanced scheduling
• Multiple reminders
• Parent Approval
• Photo Proof
• Advanced reward and S’mores controls
• Late penalties and locked-chore controls where available
• Attachments, instructions, and other Premium chore settings

Premium is most useful when these controls replace repeated parent work or make chore ownership clearer.

When Free Is a Good Fit

Choose Free when:

• Your family uses mostly Individual chores
• A basic schedule is enough
• You prefer a simple chore list
• You do not need Photo Proof or Parent Approval
• You are comfortable handling special assignments manually
• Your family is still learning the basic system

Free is not a failed trial. It is a real S’moresUp plan for families that want the essentials.

When Premium Is a Good Fit

Premium may be helpful when:

• “Whose turn is it?” is a regular argument
• You use Rotate to share chores fairly
• Bigger chores need Collaborate
• Bonus chores help children earn extra S’mores
• You want multiple reminders for important chores
• You need Photo Proof or approval
• Your family uses custom schedules
• Advanced controls reduce repeated follow-up

Premium should earn its place in your family system by saving time or making expectations easier to follow.

Current Pricing

S’moresUp Free

Free.

S’moresUp Premium

• $7.99 per month through August 29, 2026
• $9.99 per month for new subscriptions beginning August 30, 2026

Existing subscribers remain at their current grandfathered price while the subscription stays active, according to the current pricing policy.

The App Store or Google Play may display local currency, taxes, or store-specific details.

Pricing can change. Review the subscription screen in S’moresUp before publishing or making a purchase decision.

TeenSpirit

TeenSpirit is available to S’moresUp families on both Free and Premium.

It gives older children and teens a separate experience focused on self-management and independence. TeenSpirit is included as family support, not as a reason to force a Premium upgrade.

What Happens When the Trial Ends?

If you do not continue with Premium, your family can keep using S’moresUp Free.

You do not need to rebuild the family from the beginning. Premium-only controls require an active Premium subscription.

Before the trial ends, review any chores that depend on advanced chore types, approval, Photo Proof, or Premium scheduling. That will help you understand what your current setup uses.

Common Questions

Will I lose my family because I choose Free?

No. Free remains a S’moresUp plan. Your family does not need to migrate to another product.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. You can use Free and subscribe to Premium later when your family needs the advanced tools.

Should I subscribe because I used one Premium feature once?

Not necessarily. Look at what your family uses every week.

Is Premium better for every family?

No. Premium is useful when its controls solve a real family problem. A simple Free setup may be the better choice for some families.

Is there a standard annual plan?

Do not assume an annual plan is available. Use the current subscription screen as the source of truth for available purchase options.

Best First Action

Open your chore list and find the Premium features your family used during the last week.

Choose Premium if those tools are helping the system run better. Choose Free if the core chore-and-reward experience is enough.
