Lillio (formerly HiMama) is childcare center software for early childhood programs, covering center management, billing, a family app and curriculum. It doesn't publish pricing or contract terms, while BackPR is free for nonprofits, has no long-term contract and offers full Spanish registration for families.

|---|---|---|
| Built for | Youth and community programs: camps, after-school, childcare, classes, sports, schools and churches. | Childcare centers and early childhood education programs in the US and Canada. |

| Pricing | Nonprofits: $0. Other organizations: custom quote. | Not published. The pricing page lists bundles without prices and routes to a demo request. |

| Payment fees | Stripe's standard processing rates. For nonprofits, BackPR adds nothing on top. | Set in each center's sales order (not published). Its payments terms also allow a per-transaction platform fee instead of a subscription. |
| Contract | No long-term contract. Cancel anytime with no exit fees. | Not published. |

| Spanish for families | Yes. | Parents can receive automated email updates in Spanish. Updates written by teachers aren't translated. |

Where BackPR is different:
- **Free for nonprofits:** Nonprofit childcare programs pay nothing to BackPR, and the terms are on our website.
- **Registration in Spanish, not just emails:** Families can register, pay, sign forms and manage their account in Spanish.
- **Childcare, camps and classes together:** Run childcare, before- and after-school care, school-break camps and classes in one account with one family record.
- **No long-term contract:** Cancel BackPR whenever you want, with no exit fees.

What Lillio does well: Lillio combines center management, billing and a family photo and messaging app with curriculum kits and accredited training for early childhood educators.
