Pricing
Childcare management software pricing, with nothing hidden
Each plan is a size of nursery with room to grow. Start free, pay monthly or yearly, and never be blocked mid-year: on paid plans, extra children and staff are simply billed per unit.

How extra children and staff are billed
Paid plans include a number of children and staff. If you enrol more, you are never blocked: each extra child or staff member is added to your bill at a fixed monthly rate.
- Extra child
- $1 / month
- Extra staff member
- $2 / month
- Monthly total = plan price + extra children × child rate + extra staff × staff rate.
- Counts cover all your sites together; a person working in two sites counts once. Parents and pending invitations never count.
- An increase during a period is charged pro rata until its end. A decrease applies from the next period.
- When your extras cost as much as the next plan, the app suggests upgrading. Your plan never changes by itself.
- The yearly plan counts 10 months, extras included: two months free.
- Extra storage: $3 for 10 GB / month, on paid plans.

Pricing questions
Is there a free trial?
There is something simpler: a free plan with no time limit, for up to 8 children and 3 staff members, with no card needed. You can use it as long as you like and upgrade when you need more.
How much does Clever Nursery cost?
There is a free plan. Paid plans start at DZD 2,900 or $29 per month (Starter), then DZD 5,900 or $59 (Standard) and DZD 12,900 or $129 (Pro). Paying yearly counts 10 months instead of 12. Enterprise is priced on request.
What happens if I have more children than my plan includes?
On paid plans you are never blocked: each extra child costs DZD 100 ($1) per month and each extra staff member DZD 200 ($2). When extras cost as much as the next plan, the app suggests upgrading. On the free plan, the limits are fixed.
Will I lose data if I go over a limit or downgrade?
No. Clever Nursery never deletes or locks your data because of a plan limit. On the free plan, adding a child or staff member beyond the limit requires an upgrade.
Can I cancel?
Yes. If you cancel a paid plan, it stays active until the end of the period you paid for, and your account then returns to the free plan. You can export your data or download a backup at any time.
How can I pay?
In Algeria, in dinars: CIB or Edahabia card through Chargily, or BaridiMob, CCP or bank transfer with the receipt uploaded and confirmed by our team. Internationally, in dollars: recurring card payment through Stripe.
Do parents have access, and do they pay?
Parents are always free and never count toward your plan. Today your team records the information families need, such as daily care entries shared with the family. A dedicated parent portal, where parents see their own children's day, is planned.
Can I manage multiple locations?
Yes. The Standard plan includes 2 sites and the Pro plan 3; Enterprise covers larger networks. Children and staff are counted across all your sites under one subscription, and someone who works in two sites counts once.
Why are prices different in dinars and dollars?
Prices in dinars and in dollars are set separately for each market, not converted from one another. French and Arabic pages show dinars first and English pages dollars first; you can switch.
