Licensing, in plain English
One key per site purchase. It unlocks updates and priority support. It never turns features off.
- KeepsYa™ (free) needs no license, ever.
- KeepsYa Pro keys activate on your site and entitle you to updates and priority support for the term.
- An expired key means no new updates; everything keeps working.
- Founders pricing is locked for life: renewals bill at the rate you purchased.
- Keys are stored encrypted on your site and shown masked.
The software license
KeepsYa and KeepsYa Pro are proprietary software. Copyright © 2026 John Kirker Inc. All Rights Reserved. KeepsYa is not open source and is distributed only through keepsya.com, not the WordPress.org plugin repository.
The software is licensed, not sold: you may install and use it on WordPress sites you own or operate, but you may not copy, redistribute, resell or sublicense it. Your booking, roster and payment data is yours, and anything a family already paid for keeps working even if a Pro license lapses.
KeepsYa pricing
Own the software. No per-registration fees, ever.
Free — $0

Pro — $24/mo · $149/yr · $399 lifetime
Everything in Free, plus punch cards, prepaid packages, account credit and transfers, a real-money affiliate program, No-show Follow-up and priority support. Founders launch pricing for the first 500 customers.

Frequently asked questions
What does a KeepsYa Pro license do?
It unlocks Pro updates and priority support. It never gates function: your features and your customers’ prepaid balances keep working regardless of license state. (The free plugin already includes updates and community support.)
What happens when my license expires?
Everything keeps running. Credit, punch cards and packages already held still redeem; you simply stop receiving Pro updates and priority support until you renew.
How much does a KeepsYa Pro license cost?
Founders launch pricing (first 500 customers) is $24/month or $149/year, versus regular pricing of $29/month and $199/year. A $399 lifetime license is limited to the first 100 buyers.
Do families lose anything if I deactivate Pro?
No. Money already in the system, credit, punch cards and packages, keeps redeeming through the free plugin. That is a tested guarantee, not a promise.
Where do I get a license?
From keepsya.com. The license activates Pro on your site; see keepsya.com for current license terms.
