MyKidReports vs Storypark: everything included, under their starting price.
Storypark’s pricing page lists a starting price of $1.59 USD per child per month for its documentation and family engagement package, with fuller packages by enquiry (August 2026). MyKidReports is $0.99 per child per month — billing, attendance, staff scheduling, CACFP and daily reports all included, free up to 5 children.
You searched “storypark pricing” — here is the actual math.
Storypark does publish a starting price: $1.59 USD per child per month, for its documentation and family engagement package (as listed on Storypark’s pricing page, August 2026). The all-in-one and multi-site packages are “Ask us” and demo territory. Here is that starting price next to a published all-in price.
Three things that change the day you switch.
These are the three differences providers describe most often after moving from Storypark. Each is a deliberate product decision — not a package upgrade.
The price drops, the scope grows
Storypark’s listed rate starts above ours — and covers its documentation package. Ours covers everything we make.
One system instead of packages
Learning stories are wonderful. Tuition still has to be collected. With one system, both live in the same login.
A price you can forecast
Multi-site or growing? The math stays $0.99 × enrolled children — no enquiry round.

There's more to MyKidReports than published pricing.
The reasons centers stay (not just switch) — how the product was built, who built it, and the operating choices behind every-feature-on-every-plan. The full story.
Move off Storypark in two weeks.

The most common reasons providers move from Storypark to MyKidReports.
These four reasons come up again and again in switching conversations with centers that used Storypark.
“We loved the learning stories — we needed the rest too”
Storypark’s documentation heritage is real. But directors still had billing, attendance, scheduling and licensing to run — and wanted them in the same system as the daily updates, without a package conversation.
“The per-child cost added up”
At Storypark’s listed $1.59 starting rate, a 100-child program pays $159/month before any fuller package. The same program on MyKidReports pays $99 with everything included — $60 a month back, every month.
“Multi-site pricing meant a sales conversation”
Storypark’s multi-site packages are custom. A published per-child price means a director of three sites can compute the cost on a napkin — and hold it steady as sites are added.
“Parents wanted one app”
Daily updates, photos, messages, invoices and payments in a single parent app — instead of documentation in one place and billing somewhere else.
