Pricing
The platform is free. One transparent 3% at checkout.
No subscription, no per-family fee, no setup cost, and no contract. We take 3% when money moves — shown as a line item and covered by the payer, so your PTO banks the full sticker price. If nobody pays you anything, we don't get paid either.
What's included
Everything's free. Nothing moves behind a paywall.
Not a trial and not a starter plan. Every feature a PTO runs on is free and stays that way — the extras are three genuinely optional additions for schools that want to reach further.
Free, always
Roster, announcements, events, signups, forms, the directory, wish lists, treasury, reimbursements, fundraising campaigns, membership cards and the school bulletin.
- Every board member and every family — no seat count
- No per-family fee, no setup fee, no expiry
- Funds settle to your PTO's own bank, not ours
- Cash and checks tracked in the same ledger
$0 · 3% at checkout, covered by the payer
Your PTO banks the full sticker price. That's the whole business model.
Homeroom Plus
Coming soonThree upgrades for schools that want to reach further.
- Text messagesA reminder the morning of the event, straight to the phone. Texts get opened; some families will never read an email.
- Every family in their languageAnnouncements translated automatically, so the message lands the same way for every household in your school.
- Volunteer clearances, trackedSee at a glance who is cleared to help on a field trip, without chasing paperwork every fall.
$199 a year for all three
Entirely optional. Plenty of PTOs will never need it, and nothing you use today ever moves behind it.
The number that matters
Most PTOs don't buy one tool. They buy three.
A platform for dues and the store. A separate vendor for the big fundraiser. A third tool for the books. Three subscriptions, three sets of fees, and nobody adds them up. Here's the whole year in one number.

How we calculated this — and where the numbers come from
The stack: PTBoard Premier ($129.99/yr, 0.7% + 20¢ on payments) for dues, store and events; a dedicated a-thon vendor at 15% for the big fundraiser (Boosterthon's MyBooster rate — Get Movin' applies a 15% donor credit, pre-checked); MoneyMinder ($299/yr) for the books. Card processing of 2.2% + 30¢ — the nonprofit Stripe rate PTBoard itself cites — applies to the non-a-thon portion. Average gift $36.67.
Homeroom: no subscription, 3% platform fee plus card processing, both shown at checkout and covered by the payer by default — so the PTO banks the sticker price. A PTO that chooses to absorb our fees instead would net about $20,522.
Swap in a different stack and the total moves, but the shape doesn't: Givebacks Pro is $499/yr and takes 7.5% on percent-model fundraisers; Membership Toolkit is $550–1,150/yr. Rates verified 22 Aug 2026 from PTBoard, Givebacks, Membership Toolkit, MoneyMinder, and Boosterthon. Pricing changes — check each vendor for current rates.
