Add Monthly Child Funding to Any Plan

On top of any plan, you can fund your child's earnings directly to their bank account and Fidelity Child Roth IRA. Up to $625/month to max the $7,500 annual contribution limit. Real earned income, real compound growth.

What Your Family Gets

Real projects, real tools, real earnings

01

Real Projects, Not Tutorials

Kids don't watch videos -- they build. Games, calculators, trackers, apps. Parents post project briefs, kids submit proposals with timelines and budgets, then deliver real, working software.

Build portfolio-ready projects from day one

02

An AI Partner That Teaches as It Builds

Your kid doesn't just get answers -- the AI explains what it's doing and why. It helps plan projects, write code, debug problems, and learn concepts in their own words. It's like having a patient tutor available anytime they want to build.

Builder and Pro Team plans -- no setup, no limits on projects

03

A Community That Grows With Them

Every app a kid builds can be published to the KidsBuild community for other families to use. Your child's work has real impact, and the library of apps grows every month.

14 apps and counting -- built by real kids and families

04

Earnings That Build Real Wealth

Kids earn fair market rates for their work. Fund their bank account and Fidelity Child Roth IRA directly -- turning summer projects into decades of compound growth.

Up to $7,500/year in tax-advantaged Roth IRA contributions

What $45,000 can
become

By maxing a Child Roth IRA at $7,500/yr from ages 13 to 18, then letting it grow untouched at a 7% average annual return.

Growth from age 13 to 65

~$1.3M at age 65

from $7,500/yr for 6 years

Why ages 13-18 are so powerful

Each year has a different "growth runway":
