A four-year-old can't read a chore chart on the fridge. In Sock Market every job is a picture that says itself out loud, so they can see what's theirs, do it, and watch the money land — with you approving every cent.
Built for ages 4 to 10. No debit card, no bank to link, no account for your child. Works whether you pay for chores, pay a flat allowance, or both — it tracks whatever your family already decided.
7 days free, then $99.99/year — or $9.99/month — for the whole family. Cancel anytime. Works on the iPad, phone, or any browser.
Two minutes after dinner: approve the day's jobs with the kids watching, and each balance climbs, digit by digit. That little ritual is where the habit sticks.
A two-minute ritual each night. Approve the day's jobs with the kids watching and the balance ticks up, digit by digit.
Savings grow 5% a week, as its own line in the ledger. The one mechanic that teaches itself: money you don't spend grows.
A bike is 180 garbage days. Every price is converted into their own work — the fastest route to understanding value.
No password, no email. They see today's jobs and what each one pays.
It moves to “waiting for a grown-up.” Nothing pays out until you say so.
One tap each. The money is written to an append-only ledger — never a number you can fudge.
A savings goal fills in with colour as they get closer. Spending prints a receipt.
A money app for kids should be careful with both. Here's how Sock Market keeps things simple and safe.
No accounts, no passwords, no email for your children. They just tap their face on the family iPad.
Every payout, cash-out and setting sits behind a grown-up PIN. Nothing pays out until you approve it.
Sock Market is a tracker, not a bank. The dollars are real — you settle them with your kids. We move nothing.
All we ever store about a child is a first name and an emoji you pick. No ads, no selling data. Ever.
How much to give, whether to pay for chores, and what actually lands at four versus nine. No signup, no email.
The four ideas that make up financial sense, the age each one actually lands, and why almost all of it has to be taught with real money rather than explained.

Yes — but Sock Market only keeps the running total. When your kid cashes out, you hand over the real dollars. We never hold or move money, so there’s nothing to lose or link a bank to.
Kids never make accounts or log in. The only thing stored about a child is a first name (or nickname) and an emoji that you choose. No ads, no tracking, no selling data.
Up to four children on the one family plan, each with their own balance, jobs, savings goal, and reading level.
Any device with a browser — an iPad, a phone, or a computer. Add it to the iPad home screen and it opens full-screen like a real app.
Anytime, in a couple of taps, and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. The 7-day trial never charges if you cancel before it ends.
