Pocket money that actually teaches.
Kids do jobs. You approve. The money is real — and so is the lesson. Sock Market turns chores into earning, saving, and the honest arithmetic of what things cost.
5 days free, then $9.99/month for the whole family. Cancel anytime. Works on the iPad, phone, or any browser.
The nightly closing bell
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.
The bits that make it stick
The closing bell
A two-minute ritual each night. Approve the day's jobs with the kids watching and the balance ticks up, digit by digit.
Interest, every Sunday
Savings grow 5% a week, as its own line in the ledger. The one mechanic that teaches itself: money you don't spend grows.
What things cost
A bike is 180 garbage days. Every price is converted into their own work — the fastest route to understanding value.
How it works
Kids tap their face
No password, no email. They see today's jobs and what each one pays.
They do the job and claim it
It moves to “waiting for a grown-up.” Nothing pays out until you say so.
You approve at the closing bell
One tap each. The money is written to an append-only ledger — never a number you can fudge.
They save it or cash out
A savings goal fills in with colour as they get closer. Spending prints a receipt.
Safe by design
A money app for kids should be careful with both. Here's how Sock Market keeps things simple and safe.
Kids never sign in
No accounts, no passwords, no email for your children. They just tap their face on the family iPad.
You hold the keys
Every payout, cash-out and setting sits behind a grown-up PIN. Nothing pays out until you approve it.
We never touch your money
Sock Market is a tracker, not a bank. The dollars are real — you settle them with your kids. We move nothing.
Barely any data
All we ever store about a child is a first name and an emoji you pick. No ads, no selling data. Ever.

Questions parents ask
Is the money real?
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.
What about my kids’ privacy?
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.
How many kids can I add?
Up to four children on the one family plan, each with their own balance, jobs, savings goal, and reading level.
What do I need to run it?
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.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, in a couple of taps, and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. The 5-day trial never charges if you cancel before it ends.
