## How PlayOps compares with other software

PlayOps publishes its comparisons as articles:

- [Paper register or billing software: what does your play zone need?](https://playops.in/blog/paper-register-vs-play-area-software): A paper register is enough for a small, quiet play zone. Billing software pays off when extra time, siblings and split payments start to slip at a busy desk.
- [Play area software in 2026: how the options compare for a small centre](https://playops.in/blog/play-area-software-compared): ROLLER, Parafait, wakesys, Bookeo, Checkfront, Romio, Plinyo, paper and PlayOps compared on price, hardware, timers, waivers and repeat visits.
- [How much does ROLLER cost, and what are the options for a small play area?](https://playops.in/blog/roller-pricing-small-play-area): ROLLER does not publish prices; review sites list plans from $300 a month. What you get, when it is worth it, and lighter options for small play areas.

## What PlayOps does not do

- Without internet it does not send WhatsApp messages, run QR check-in, take online bookings or show reports; the desk itself keeps admitting and checking out offline and syncs when the connection is back
- It is not a full accounting or tax-filing package; it produces the sales record, not the return
- It does not sell or lease play equipment, and it is not a booking marketplace for parents
- It is not a childcare, daycare or preschool attendance system
- It does not process payments itself - the centre keeps its own payment arrangement and records how the parent paid

## Common questions, answered

### What does setup actually involve?

A few questions about your prices — one kid, one hour, weekends, parties — about 3 minutes on your phone, and your floor is live at yourbrand.playops.in with your prices loaded. A real person WhatsApps you the same day to set up the rest. Prefer a human from the start? Take the 15-minute WhatsApp walkthrough instead.

### What does it cost?

Every new centre starts with one month of the full Growth feature set, free — no card. After that you pick a plan: Starter at ₹2,999/month, Growth at ₹3,999/month, or Pro at ₹5,999/month for online booking, your own website and the AI assistant. Paying yearly gets about 2 months free (₹29,999, ₹39,999 or ₹59,999 a year). Prices are plus 18% GST. Chains and special setups get a Custom plan, quoted for you.

### Can we run more than one centre?

Yes. Each centre runs as its own PlayOps venue, with its own login, rates and reports. On the Custom plan we set each one up for you. There is no single combined view across centres yet.

### What happens when the free month ends?

Nothing is deleted and nothing is charged automatically. We ask you to pick a plan — Starter, Growth or Pro. While you decide, the floor keeps working on a reduced set, because we are not going to switch your counter off in the middle of a Saturday. Choosing is one WhatsApp message and we set it up the same day.

### Do we keep our hardware?

Yes. PlayOps runs in Chrome on whatever tablet, phone, or PC you have at the counter. The wristbands stay the same. Printers, payment QR — all unchanged.

### What about UPI / cash split?

Every checkout asks how the parent paid: UPI, cash, card, or split. The close-of-day report breaks revenue down by payment method automatically, so the cash-drawer reconciliation takes one minute, not ten.

### Does it work offline?

Yes, the desk keeps working. If the internet drops, the floor, the timers, admits and checkouts carry on on your counter device, and everything syncs as soon as you are back online. WhatsApp messages, QR check-in, online bookings and reports wait for the connection.

### Can our existing memberships migrate?

Yes. Send a CSV (member name, phone, sessions remaining, expiry) and we import it on day one. Auto-deduct kicks in from the next admit.

### Can we use it for GST and accounts?

It gives you the sales record, not the return. Every checkout is logged with the payment method, and the whole month exports as CSV for your accountant. PlayOps does not file GST and is not a full accounting package.

### Does PlayOps take the payment?

No. The parent pays you the way they always have — your UPI QR, cash, or your own card machine. PlayOps records how they paid, so the day's total matches what is actually in the drawer.

### Is this a daycare or preschool system?

No. PlayOps is built for pay-and-play floors — hourly sessions, passes, birthday parties. If you need attendance registers, fee cycles and staff rosters for a daycare, this is the wrong tool and we will say so.

## How to start

Opening a new play centre that is not on Google yet? Use "New play centre". Not listed? The search box offers the manual form. Prefer to talk first?

### Blog

- [Slow weekdays at a play area: what to sell, and when](https://playops.in/blog/slow-weekdays-play-area): Weekday mornings are the slow part, not evenings. Fill 10am to 2pm with things families book, give time instead of discounts, and keep evenings at full price.
- [Buying a play area business? What to check before you pay](https://playops.in/blog/buying-a-play-area-business-checklist): Before you pay, check a year of daily sales by UPI, cash and card, visits by hour and repeat families, then the equipment, the lease and the staff.
- [Paper register or billing software: what does your play zone need?](https://playops.in/blog/paper-register-vs-play-area-software): A paper register is enough for a small, quiet play zone. Billing software pays off when extra time, siblings and split payments start to slip at a busy desk.
- [Which licences and fire NOC does a play area need in India?](https://playops.in/blog/play-area-fire-safety-licence-india): Ask about a trade licence, a fire NOC, the building's approved use and shop registration. In Ahmedabad, a soft play area needs a police licence too.
- [Should weekends and holidays cost more at your play area?](https://playops.in/blog/weekend-and-holiday-prices-play-area): Yes, a little. Charge about a fifth more on weekends and full holidays, and choose the price each morning, because holiday dates move every year.
- [How to price birthday party packages at a play area](https://playops.in/blog/birthday-party-packages-pricing): Sell two or three fixed packages: a set number of children, two hours, a clear price. Add an extra-child price, a deposit and a room-time rule.

- [What does it cost to open a kids play area in India?](https://playops.in/blog/kids-play-area-setup-cost-india): Play equipment is listed at about ₹800–1,500 per sq ft on Indian supplier sites. Here is how to build the full budget for a small play area, step by step.
- [A pass or a membership? They are not the same promise](https://playops.in/blog/pass-or-membership): A pass is prepaid hours and a membership is unlimited time, so when your evenings are already full, the pass is the one that is safe to sell.
- [What should the second hour cost?](https://playops.in/blog/what-to-charge-for-the-second-hour): Charge close to full price when the second hour runs into your busy evening, and much less in a quiet hour, when the seat would sit empty anyway.
- [Check in with a QR code, and let parents watch the clock](https://playops.in/blog/qr-check-in): Parents fill the check-in form on their own phone, your desk confirms it with a 3-digit code, and their phone shows a live timer they can extend from.

- [How much is one hour of play? What real rate cards show](https://playops.in/blog/seven-rate-cards): We compared printed rate cards from Indian play centres. The first hour runs ₹179 to ₹499, but the real story is the second hour, where no two cards agree.
- [The 10-hour pass: one payment, many visits](https://playops.in/blog/the-ten-hour-pass): A prepaid 10-hour pass brings families back many times, and it stays fair when you charge only the minutes the child really plays, not a full hour.
- [What the ₹50 sock knows about your play centre](https://playops.in/blog/sock-price-test): Two real floors, same ₹280 ticket: socks at ₹70 sold almost as often as socks at ₹40, so the higher price earned 22% more from the sock bin.
- [The psychology of "you remembered": what a birthday message does to a parent](https://playops.in/blog/the-birthday-flywheel): Why a reminder before a child's birthday and a small offer on the day build a bond no discount campaign can, and how to run it in two minutes per family.
