Playground doesn’t publish the price.
Websites are a paid add-on to a Playground subscription, and its pricing page leads to a demo request instead of prices. The add-on covers design, setup, hosting, content updates and support.
A site its team designs, writes and manages.
It comes with lead forms and tour booking that sync into Playground’s CRM, SEO-friendly pages, SSL, hosting and custom domain setup. Playground says sites go live in one to two weeks.
You send changes to its team.
Playground says its sites are fully managed: its team handles updates, design changes and content edits, like swapping a photo or adding a classroom.
Paid plans renew automatically.
They renew for the same term you chose, at the then-current rate. You can cancel in account settings, but it takes effect at the end of the paid term, with no prorated refund.
Its terms don’t say.
They say closing an account may destroy the content in it, and Playground’s offboarding checklist says records can’t be retrieved once access ends. Neither mentions the website.
Playground’s website makes sense if you already run enrollment, billing and family messaging in Playground and want its team to build a site that feeds tours and leads into its CRM.

For the website, yes, if you want a published price of $99 or $199 a month and a site you keep whichever software you use. Playground’s site feeds leads and tour bookings straight into its CRM, and its software runs billing and family messaging, which we don’t replace. Keep Playground for those; we link your Schedule a tour button to its booking page.
