Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free playdate card really free?

Yes, completely free. You can create one playdate card with your child's photo, a custom message, and a working QR code. Download it as a print-ready PDF and print as many copies as you need at home. No credit card required, no trial period, no catch.

What's included in the free playdate card?

The free card includes your child's photo, a personalized message, and a QR code that links to a contact page. You get a downloadable PDF formatted with 8 cards per page, ready to print and cut. The only limitation is a small "Made with Hello Playdate" watermark on the PDF.

Do I need to download an app to create a free playdate card?

No app needed. Everything works in your phone or computer's web browser. Sign up, upload a photo, customize your message, and download your PDF -- all from the browser. The other parent doesn't need an app either; they just scan the QR code with their phone camera.

What do I get if I upgrade from the free plan?

Playdate Pro ($4.99/month) gives you unlimited card designs for multiple children, removes the watermark from your PDFs, unlocks premium and seasonal templates, adds custom colors and fonts, and includes a message inbox with notifications. You can try it free for 14 days.
