Getting Started & Migration
When will CooplyHQ be available?
We're launching in phases starting Q2 2026. Early access members get in first, plus locked-in founding member pricing that never increases. The waitlist is moving fast because the co-ops who commit early get first choice on their launch dates.
Can we migrate our existing data?
Yes. Most co-ops lose families during platform transitions because migration is chaos. We solve this by migrating your data personally. Families, payment history, class rosters, transcripts—everything. Your old system goes dark on Friday, CooplyHQ goes live on Monday.
Do parents need to install an app?
CooplyHQ is a Progressive Web App (PWA). This means it works perfectly in any mobile browser without needing to download a large app from the App Store, but parents can still "Install to Home Screen" for a native app experience.
Features & Functionality
Does the system handle different payment schedules?
Absolutely. We know co-op finances are messy. You can set up monthly tuition, semester fees, one-time supply fees, or drop-in rates. The system tracks who paid cash, who paid via Stripe, and who is overdue, sending automated reminders so you don't have to.
Can teachers enter grades directly?
Yes! Teachers get a specific portal where they can take attendance, enter grades, and upload homework assignments. Parents can view this data in real-time (if you allow it) or via end-of-semester report cards.
How does the "Smart Scheduling" work?
Our scheduler detects conflicts automatically. If you try to put "Chemistry Lab" and "Advanced Algebra" in the same room at 10 AM, or if you try to assign Mrs. Smith to two classes at once, the system will alert you immediately.
Pricing & Billing
Is there a free trial?
Yes. We give you 30 days with everything unlocked. No credit card required to start. We believe you shouldn't pay for software until you see it actually works for your specific group dynamics.
Are there hidden transaction fees?
CooplyHQ charges a flat monthly subscription fee. For online payments, we integrate with Stripe, which charges their standard processing fee (typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction). We do not add any additional platform fees on top of that.
Security & Privacy
Who owns our data?
You do. Full stop. Unlike free platforms that sell user data or show ads to children, CooplyHQ is a paid tool where your data remains yours. You can export your family lists, financial records, and grades at any time.
Is the platform secure for student information?
We use enterprise-grade encryption for all data. Information about children is visible only to the specific admins and teachers you authorize. We maintain strict compliance with data privacy standards to keep your families safe.
