Questions, answered
Yes — $25 a month against $99, and their money-back guarantee is 90 days where ours is 60. If all you need is secure check-in, they are a good product and a lower bill.
Because a drop-in centre’s hard part is the money, not the door. Bloomily bills a walk-in to the minute, holds visit packs and memberships on the family record, and includes waivers in the plan. KidCheck’s pricing page does not mention hourly billing, drop-in rates or memberships.
No. Bloomily checks children in at the kiosk with the same tap, and the door poster is printable the moment you land.
Stop comparing. Start running.
