MyKidReports, quickly

How much does a MyKidReports website cost?

MyKidReports doesn’t publish the price.

The website builder is a paid add-on on any plan. The software is free for up to 5 children, then $0.99 per child a month, billed in tiers of 10 children, with no setup fees.

Who builds a MyKidReports website?

You do, from an AI draft.

Answer a few prompts and AI drafts the pages, or start from a childcare template. You swap photos, edit the copy and colors, and publish from your MyKidReports account.

Can you use your own domain with MyKidReports?

Yes, one you buy elsewhere.

Sites start on a free mykidreports.com subdomain. You can connect a domain you already own, or buy one from your preferred registrar, by updating its DNS settings.

Does MyKidReports have a contract?

No, it’s month to month.

Paid plans and add-ons are billed monthly in advance and renew until you cancel. Cancelling takes effect at the end of that month, and the month already charged isn’t refunded.

What happens to the site if you cancel?

Its terms don’t say.

They say closing an account may destroy the content in it. The site lives in MyKidReports’ own editor, so keep copies of your text and photos.
