How this compares to ClassDojo
ClassDojo is a communication and engagement layer — a lot of centers already use it alongside a separate system for everything operational. Here’s an honest look at where we match, where we’re ahead, and where we weren’t.
ClassDojo
- ✓Class Story & media sharing
- ✓Direct two-way messaging, read receipts, 35+ language translation
- ✓Digital portfolios
- ✓Positive reinforcement points (“Dojo Points”)
- ✓Event scheduling & reminders
- ✕Billing, enrollment, staffing, ratio compliance, incident/medication tracking, facility inspections — none of this exists in ClassDojo
Steadyroom
- ✓Class Story & media sharing — plus per-purpose consent (internal/family-share/group-photo/marketing tracked separately)
- ✓Direct two-way messaging, read receipts, translation
- ✓Digital portfolios, tied to skill-based feedback
- —No points/rewards economy — skill-based feedback instead, a deliberate choice, not a gap
- ✓Appointments module (tours, meetings, vendor visits) + county-calendar-aware center calendar
- ✓Everything ClassDojo doesn't do: billing, enrollment, ratio compliance, incidents, medication, facility inspections, vendor payments
The honest read: Feature-for-feature on communication, it's close to a tie — we don't do reward points on purpose, ClassDojo doesn't do operations at all. This isn't really a competitive comparison so much as a point-solution vs. a full platform; most centers using ClassDojo today are running it alongside a separate system for everything else, which is the exact gap this product was built to close.

CACFP appears only for centers that enable it in Settings — most centers won’t see it, and that’s by design, not a missing feature.
Common questions
Can I switch plans later?
Yes — upgrading from Core to Pro carries all existing records forward, nothing to re-enter. Downgrading is possible between billing cycles.
Is there a setup fee?
No setup fee on Core or Pro. Enterprise onboarding (multi-center data migration, custom roles) is scoped and quoted per engagement.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export all center, child, and financial records at any time. Data is retained per our retention policy for a defined period after cancellation before deletion.
Do parents pay to use the app?
No — the parent app is included in your center's subscription at no extra cost to families.
