Sprout Saver: Kids Allowance
Teach kids smart money habits
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Tired of tracking your kids' allowance in your head? Tired of digital IOUs because you never carry cash? Worried that handing an 8-year-old a debit card teaches swiping, not saving?
Meet Sprout Saver — the virtual family money app that teaches kids ages 6–16 how to earn, save, spend, and give. The money is virtual, but the habits are real — built for the years when habits form and your guidance still matters most.
NO REAL MONEY, NO RISK
Other family money apps hand kids a real debit card. Sprout Saver is different. Kids practice every money decision with virtual currency, so mistakes teach lessons instead of costing dollars — and the built-in curriculum does the teaching for you. By the time your child is ready for a real card, they already know how to use it.
THE HABIT LOOP THAT BUILDS REAL SKILLS
• Earn — Allowance, chores & bonuses give money a source, not just a handout
• Sort — Split into Save, Spend & Give jars so every dollar has a purpose
• Commit — Savings goals & the Vault protect priorities from impulse
• Request — Spending goes through parent approval, not open-loop access
• Learn — 300+ bite-size lessons, games & scenarios built into the money flow
• Reflect — Streaks, Saver Stars & progress make growth visible and discussable
WHY PARENTS CHOOSE SPROUT SAVER
• You stay in control — approve every withdrawal, payout, and goal from one PIN-protected dashboard and Smart Inbox
• Automated allowances — funds release only when chores are verified complete
• Lesson bounties — assign financial-literacy modules with money rewards attached
• Per-child setup — allowance schedules, reward rates, and chore values
• One account, multiple kids; co-parent invites for shared oversight
• Weekly & monthly digest emails highlighting teachable moments
• No ads. No targeted marketing to children. COPPA-compliant data handling.
WHY KIDS STAY ENGAGED
• Visual Save / Spend / Give jars and animated progress bars make money feel real
• The Vault: lock money away to earn Saver Stars and practice patience
• Missions, 30+ badges, Saver Stars & 800+ avatar cosmetics — all earned, never bought
• 4 standalone financial game worlds for deeper, age-appropriate learning
• A 3D customizable avatar that grows with their progress
DESIGNED AROUND REAL RESEARCH
Built around Cambridge University research showing money habits form by age 7, the Stanford Marshmallow Test on delayed gratification, and youth financial-capability principles from the CFPB and OECD. The Vault applies this directly — kids who lock money away earn Saver Stars and watch patience pay off in real time.

Sprout Saver's biggest update yet:
• Your Family Briefing — a weekly, plain-English read on how your family's money habits are going. It remembers what it told you and follows up the next week.
• Money Flow — one diagram showing where money came in, which jar it sat in, and where it went. Every dollar accounted for.
• Pocket Quest got a major overhaul — smarter combat, four richer dungeons with all-new artwork, and spoken narration with one-tap mute.
• New lessons: "Can I Borrow $5?" — your child learns to set kind, clear boundaries when a friend asks to borrow money.
• Adding a child now shows exactly how they sign in: your family code, their name, and their PIN.
• Fixed: spotty Wi-Fi could sign your child out.
• 15 lessons overhauled and improved.
