Simple plans for growing money habits together
YOBY is designed to help children and parents build healthy financial habits through play.
Start with a free preview. Unlock the full YOBY world with Family. Become a Patron if you want to support the project from the beginning and give your family a few premium collectibles at the start of the game.
No advertising inside the child-facing experience.
No complicated contracts.
No tiny swamp clause hiding under the price tag.
Just three clear ways to enter the pond.
What each plan means
Free
Free is your first splash into YOBY.
It lets your family preview the world, understand the mood of the experience and see whether playful financial education feels right for your home.
It is not meant to be the full pond.
It is the little wooden bridge at the entrance.
Family
Family unlocks the richer YOBY experience.
With the sky level, children can explore bigger goals and longer-term thinking. With the underground level, they can discover hidden costs, surprises and all the small things that money sometimes hides under the roots.
More missions mean more daily choices.
More collectibles mean more reasons to return.
More world means more chances to talk about money without turning the room into a spreadsheet storm.
Family is the main YOBY plan for parents and children who want to build healthy money habits together.
YOBY Patron
YOBY Patron is for early supporters.
It includes everything in Family, plus premium collectibles at the start of the game.
But the real point is support.
Patron helps us keep building YOBY as an independent European project: playful, safe, privacy-first and designed for families rather than advertisers.
It is not pay-to-win.
It is not pressure.
It is a warmer corner of the pond for people who want to help the project grow.
Built for trust
Every YOBY plan is built around the same principles.
YOBY is designed for children and families from the beginning, not adapted later from an adult product with a cartoon hat.
That means:
- safe by design
- parent-led family ponds
- invite-only access
- no strangers contacting children
- no advertising inside the child-facing experience
- privacy-first design
- GDPR-first principles
- family data stays yours
Safety is not a premium feature.
Every child deserves a safe pond.
