Famly

4.3/5

“Game-Changer Support & Customization”

After trialing various platforms, Famly stood out with their account manager helping us every step—from enrollment forms to parent messaging. It's not the cheapest, but the tailored help is worth it.

Pros : Personalized onboarding, ongoing support

Cons : Pricing slightly above some competitors

Switched from : Procare

Reason to switch : Chose Famly for better support and features, even with a slightly higher cost.

4.2/5

“Endless Features—but a Slight Learning Curve”

Switched from traditional paper/manual logs to Famly and wow—attendance, staffing, financials—all in one place. But the interface isn't intuitive for everyone; we needed a few training sessions to get everyone onboard.

Pros : Powerful scheduling, admin insights

Cons : Staff training took some time

Switched from : MyKidReports

Reason to switch : Wanted digital efficiency even if setup required time.

4.5/5

“Parents Stay Close—Notifications Work Great”

Formerly I used a generic messenger app, but Famly’s alerts keep parents instantly updated on meals, naps, playtime. The notification icon sometimes stays on until every item is viewed in every folder—which gets annoying—but overall it’s excellent for parent engagement.

Pros : Keeps parents closely informed

Cons : Notification nav can be clunky

Switched from : WatchMeGrow

Reason to switch : We needed full childcare lifecycle updates—not just messages.
