KidTally is a pickup and safety service for youth programs. It records child pickups, helps staff identify guardians with custody restrictions, and supports emergency roll calls. One-time six-digit pickup codes can be issued or checked at checkout; each code expires after use. Staff can mark guardians authorized, limited, or blocked, add custody notes, and record why an override occurred. During drills, staff use phones or tablets to confirm children and see who remains unaccounted for. Parents can receive pickup codes and a private child-status link by text or email without installing an app or signing in. Programs can import rosters by CSV, and the service can work alongside iClassPro and Jackrabbit. KidTally runs on Android, iOS, and the web. It is currently in private beta with a small founding cohort and offers a live demo while signup remains closed until launch. Plans start at $24.00 USD per month billed annually, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. The maker states that data is encrypted, access is role-based, and safety actions are audit logged.
