Frequently Asked Questions

The Dad Center is a pregnancy and parenting companion app designed to keep dads informed, prepared, and connected. Think of it as the operating system for modern fatherhood — week-by-week briefings, structured tasks, budget planning, and partner sync all in one place.

Primarily for expectant and new dads, but it works for the whole family. Moms get tailored content and the same tools. Whether you're 8 weeks in or 8 months postpartum, the app meets you where you are.

Absolutely. While we lead with a dad-first voice, the app is fully role-aware. Moms see content tailored to their perspective and have access to all the same features — tasks, briefings, budget, tracker, and more.

No. The Dad Center provides general pregnancy and parenting information for educational purposes only. Our briefings cite sources like ACOG and AAP guidelines, but this is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider.

One subscription covers your whole family. Both you and your partner share full Premium access with a single plan — no need for separate subscriptions.

Monthly: $4.99/mo. Yearly: $39.99/yr ($3.33/mo — save 33%). Lifetime: $99.99 one-time. All plans include full access for both partners.

Free accounts get a 30-day task window, 4 weeks of briefings from signup, core tracker features, and access to the dashboard. It's designed to feel complete, not crippled.

Yes. Cancel your subscription at any time — no questions asked. You keep access through the end of your billing period, and your data stays safe on the free tier.

No. Free accounts get 30 days of tasks, 4 weeks of briefings, and full dashboard access — no credit card required, free forever. If you upgrade and want to cancel, you keep access through your billing period.

Yes. First-time subscribers get their first 30 days of Premium free on the Monthly or Yearly plan — on the web, iOS, and Android. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and has no trial. A card is required to start, you won't be charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then. On mobile, trial eligibility is determined by the App Store or Google Play.

Each week you get a concise briefing covering baby's development, what your partner may be experiencing, things to do this week, and practical dad-specific guidance. Think of it as your weekly shift briefing for fatherhood.

Invite your partner with a family code. You both see shared tasks and can assign items to each other — when a task lands on your list, you get a push notification. One person completing a task updates it for both, and one subscription covers you both.

Once the baby arrives, Premium unlocks the Shift Briefing — a quick handoff summary of feeds, diaper changes, and sleep since your partner's last update. Whoever's coming on duty walks in caught up, no "wait, did you already feed her?" text required.

A phase-by-phase breakdown of what things actually cost — from prenatal vitamins to daycare. Each item includes best-value and premium options with real pricing so you can plan ahead.

Seven challenge pillars — Knowledge, Planning, Finances, Anxiety, Baby Bonding, Relationship, and Extended Family — with guided content to help you grow in each area. It turns anxiety into action.

Premium users get push notifications for task reminders, new briefings, and partner activity. Free users get notifications for 30 days from signup.

Yes. Go to Settings and scroll to "Delete Account." This permanently removes all your data and cannot be undone. Web subscriptions are canceled automatically; subscriptions purchased through the App Store or Google Play are not — cancel those in your store account settings to stop billing.

Your data stays safe. Cancelling Premium reverts you to the free tier — you keep access to your data within the free window. Re-subscribe anytime to unlock everything again.
