Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is PrizeJar?
PrizeJar is a fun, simple way for families to manage chores, allowance, and rewards in today’s cashless world. Parents set goals, kids earn points or money, and the whole family stays on the same page.
Q2. How do kids earn rewards?
Kids complete chores, school goals, or positive habits their parents assign. Each completed task adds coins or points to their personal jar. When the jar is full, they unlock their prize — turning everyday tasks into exciting wins.
Q3. Is this real money?
That’s up to you! Parents can choose to use real money, points, or a mix of both. For real money, we use secure payment options so funds are always protected.
Q4. What can kids work toward?
Anything your family agrees on — from toys and games to a family outing or saving for something big. The best part? Kids can see their progress build in real time.
Q5. Can multiple kids have their own jars?
Yes! Each child gets their own personalized jar with their name, goals, and earnings history. Parents manage everything from one account, while kids feel ownership of their progress.
Q6. Is PrizeJar safe for my family’s data?
Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption and never sell or share your personal information. Your family’s privacy and security are always our top priority.
Q7. How much does PrizeJar cost?
PrizeJar will launch with a Founding Families program - the first families to join get early access and can try it for free. After that, PrizeJar will be available as an affordable monthly subscription, with simple plans designed to fit every family.
Q8. How do I get started?
Sign up for free, create your family account, and set up your kids’ first jars. You’ll be up and running in just a few minutes!
Q9. Can grandparents or extended family contribute?
Yes! Invite grandparents, aunts, uncles, or close family friends to contribute to a jar. It’s a simple way to bring the whole family into the celebration of progress.
