How ClassKasa works, who logs in, and what parents actually see.
No passwords ever. You type your email, we mail you a link. Tap it from your phone and you're in. Links work for a few minutes - use fresh.
Start a class and we give you one short link. Drop it into your class chat. Parents tap, type their email, done - they're in.
Nope, parents don't have to install anything - ClassKasa just runs in the browser they already have. If they want, they can save it to their home screen so it feels like an app (see the next question).
On iPhone: open ClassKasa in Safari, tap the share button at the bottom, then 'Add to Home Screen'. On Android: open it in Chrome, tap the three dots, then 'Install app'. Done - ClassKasa opens like any other app from your home screen, no app store.
Yes, with Premium. Add up to 4 grown-ups per family - each logs in with their own email and sees the same shared balance. Bank transfers from any of them auto-match to your family, so it doesn't matter which account sent the money. Handy when you're co-parenting, when divorced parents both want to stay in the loop, when a grandparent helps out with the zoo trip, or when both parents want to see 'what's still owed' without asking each other.
Every class has four roles: Treasurer, Co-Treasurer (Premium-only), Member, and Teacher (Premium-only). The treasurer and co-treasurer run collections and can see who paid and who hasn't - Members see their own payment status only. The Teacher can see all class events and update meet-up details, but never appears on payment lists and is never billed.
When you share a collection, ClassKasa automatically picks the best message type based on context: Announcement (new collection), Reminder (ongoing), Urgent (deadline approaching), Follow-up (overdue), or Celebration (fully paid). You can also switch between types manually. The message is pre-written in the parent's language - just tap Share and send via WhatsApp, email, or any app on your phone.
It's like a smart buddy for your whole class! Parents can ask things like 'where do we meet for the zoo trip tomorrow?' or 'how much do I owe for the gift?' Treasurers can ask 'who still hasn't paid?' or 'write me a friendly WhatsApp reminder.' It knows your class data, answers in your language, and never shares private info between roles. Available for everyone in a Premium class.
The chatbot auto-detects the language you write in and responds in the same language. It works in all languages supported by ClassKasa.
Yep. Real life - not every parent pays every time (already paid offline, kid isn't going on the trip this time, whatever). On Premium, exclude specific parents per collection so your totals stay clean.
The Teacher seat is for the adult who runs the trip - the schoolteacher. They see all class events and the collections list, can update meeting place, time, and return ETA on a collection, and never appear on a payment list. Available on Premium classes only. Inviting a teacher requires their first name, last name, and email; clicking the email link logs them in straight away.
A co-treasurer is the treasurer's backup brain - vacation cover, a second set of eyes on the math, somebody to help chase late payments. That kind of help is exactly what makes Premium worth it. The Free plan is for solo treasurers who run things on their own; the moment you want a teammate, you're looking at Premium.
Apple only lets Safari install web apps and send push notifications on iPhone - Chrome and other browsers on iOS are actually wrapped around Safari and don't get those abilities. So: on iPhone, use Safari for ClassKasa. On Android, any modern browser works (Chrome is easiest).
Open Settings inside ClassKasa, find Notifications, and flip the device toggle to On - your browser will ask permission. Then pick which moments you want to be notified about: new collection, details changed, payment due today, three days overdue, or new app version. Each one has its own switch.
Free: install ClassKasa like a phone app - that part stays free for everyone. Premium: every phone notification lives here - new collection, details changed, payment due today, three days overdue, and a heads-up on new app versions. The /app/notifications inbox shows the full history for every Premium class you're in.
Apple's rule, not ours. iOS doesn't let installed home-screen apps grab links from other apps - WhatsApp always hands the link to Safari. The workaround: once ClassKasa is on your home screen, you can tap the share button in Safari and pick 'Open in ClassKasa' (iOS 17+), or just remember to open ClassKasa from your home screen first, then paste the link. On Android we ship a real fix: install ClassKasa and Chrome will offer to send every classkasa.com link straight to the app.
Plans, billing, currency, and how the AI bank-statement scan keeps everything safe.
Yes. Free gives you 1 class and 5 collections with manual payment tracking - enough to get the hang of it. But Premium earns its keep on one class, not three: AI reconciles your bank statement, reminders send themselves, a chatbot answers parents at 6AM, and a collection wraps in an afternoon instead of a week. You want Premium because of what it does, not because you ran out of free collections.
You keep access until the end of your billing period. After that, your account reverts to Free - your data stays, but extra features are disabled. You can re-subscribe anytime.
No. Only the class treasurer subscribes. Parents access collection pages for free - no account, no app download needed. If the class decides to split the cost, it works out to about £0.20 per family per month.
Most classes pay from a shared class bank account with a debit card - the cost spreads naturally across whoever chipped in. And you don't pay during summer: Premium Monthly takes a free summer break in July and August, Premium stays on, the card just isn't touched. So you only ever pay in the months you're actually collecting.
Same features, different billing. Monthly = recurring billing (card or Revolut Pay), automatically paused for free in July and August. Yearly = one-time payment for 12 months - pay with BLIK, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Revolut Pay, iDEAL, card, etc. Yearly costs 9× the monthly price (you don't pay for July and August, plus one more month free - compared to Monthly).
No. Premium Yearly is a one-time payment - use BLIK, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Revolut Pay, iDEAL, Bancontact, Klarna, bank transfer or card. No card is stored. Premium Monthly uses card or Revolut Pay for recurring billing.
Yes - pick Premium Yearly at checkout. Pay 9 months, get 12. Use any one-time payment method. Take the money back from the class account however you normally do.
No. Premium Monthly automatically pauses for July + August - Premium stays on, no charge, nothing to do. Billing resumes September 1. Premium Yearly already covers 12 continuous months, so the pause doesn't apply.
Yes! ClassKasa supports EUR, PLN, GBP, USD, CZK, HUF, RON, and BGN. Your subscription and collection amounts are in the currency you choose for your class.
Upload a PDF or photo of your bank statement. Our AI reads every transaction, matches amounts and sender names to your class members and open collections, and presents the results for your review. You approve or adjust each match with one tap.
We support PDF bank statements and photos/scans (JPEG, PNG). The AI reads statements from every major EU bank we've tested. If yours isn't recognized, send us the file - we'll add it.
Yes - and here's how. We open the file, run the AI, return the matches, then drop the file. Nothing is kept on our servers after the analysis finishes. Your statement never enters a database.
You always have the final say. Every AI match is presented for your review before anything is saved. You can approve, reject, or manually reassign any match. The AI learns from your corrections to improve future accuracy.
Every Premium class gets 6 free bank statement scans per billing period. Need more? You can purchase additional scans at a low per-scan price directly from the Finances page.
Only if you tap 'Accept All' on the cookie banner - and only with Meta (Facebook + Instagram). We hash your email before it ever leaves your browser, and we never sell anything. You can change your mind any time on the cookies page.
EU privacy law tightened up. Instead of one big 'accept everything' button, you get three honest toggles: the basics (always on), how the site is used (anonymous), and helping us find more parents (only if you say yes).
If you got here from a Facebook or Instagram ad, your link had a tiny tag like ?utm_source=fb. We use that tag to know which ad worked - not to track you across the rest of the internet.
Anyone can be a ClassKasa Ambassador. Share your link, and when a friend class goes Premium you earn a commission - a slice of their subscription - which you can take as cash or as free months on your own plan. Open the Refer & earn page from the top menu to grab your link.
Yes. Under-18 Ambassadors are paid into a parent account with the parent signed consent, and Stripe runs the ID check. Teens who only want free ClassKasa can take their reward as account credit instead, with no ID check at all.
